Calibre is a free and open-source e-book library management software available for various operating systems. Kali Linux Latest doesn't come with Calibre pre-installed, but it's easy to install. Here's how:
Go to the Calibre website at https://calibre-ebook.com/ and download the appropriate version for your system. In this case, we'll be downloading the Linux version.
Open the Terminal application on your Kali Linux system. You can do this by clicking on the Terminal icon on your desktop, or by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + T shortcut.
Navigate to the folder where the Calibre package has been downloaded. Usually, the download folder can be accessed by typing the following command:
cd ~/Downloads
This will take you to the Downloads directory.
Before we can install Calibre, we need to make sure that all the dependencies are installed. Run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install python python-pil python-pygments python-setuptools python-dev python-six
This will install all the necessary dependencies for Calibre to run.
Next, we can start the installation process. Run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin
This will initiate the installation process for Calibre. The installation process may take a few minutes, depending on your system specifications.
