Hi you guys,

Running a windows pc 24/7 is not friendly to electricity bill. So, a friend of mine gave me a Rasberry Pi 2.

.

I've read else where that Raspbian can't install Calibre, so I managed to install Ubuntu Mate on a 16GB sdcard.

Running the command line on Calibre mannual

Code:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

and it says I have an ARM system and it needs x86 instead.

So I moved to the end of the end of the manual page and run

Code:

curl -L https://calibre-ebook.com/dist/src | tar xvJ 
cd calibre*
sudo python2 setup.py install

The first two lines were ok. The last did not do anything but a few lines that I can't understand.

.

So I read on. And get to type "... install Calibre" in the Terminal. And it calibre was installed.... but the version is 2.55. I want 3.x

Could you please point me where to go from here?
