The simplest approach is to edit the file calibre (on my system this is /opt/calibre/calibre), which is the shell script that starts calibre. Add a line like the following:
Code:
export CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH="/home/alan/Calibre Library"
Where you would replace the full path with your new location. I'm not sure if "/metadata.db" should be added at the end, this would not be usual for a "path" but might be needed here.
