pyShelf is a Python application for managing and indexing your eBooks. Here’s how you can install it on Arch Linux:
The very first thing you need to do is make sure that both Python3 and Git are installed on your Arch Linux. To do that, open up a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python git
pip3 is a package installer for Python3 which is needed to install additional Python modules.
sudo pacman -S python-pip
Now you need to clone the pyShelf package from Github. Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/th3r00t/pyShelf.git
In the next step, you’ll move into the pyShelf folder and install the required python modules using pip3.
cd pyShelf
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
You need to run the setup.py script to configure the application. Run the following command in your terminal:
python3 setup.py
Congratulations, you have successfully installed pyShelf on your Arch Linux. Now you can run the application using the following command:
python3 pyShelf.py
That’s it! You have successfully installed pyShelf on Arch Linux. Once you open the application, you can start managing and indexing your eBooks.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
