If you are up for it, you could set up a VM to run calibre in Windows. Mashable pretty regularly sells Windows 11 Pro licenses for $15, and UTM is free. You can also get ARM version of Windows 11 Pro if you have Apple Silicon Mac.

I don't, no. How would it help?

Tom, cmon you're suggesting running windows in a vm to enable a feature in a cross platform application

Um. Calibre and the the plugin are Python programs. Which is to say they run wherever a Python interpreter exists. Which is to say they're cross-platform.

That said,

OSError: dlopen(/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib, 0x0006): tried: '/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e' or 'arm64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e' or 'arm64')), '/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@3/3.3.2/lib/libcrypto.3.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e' or 'arm64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@3/3.3.2/lib/libcrypto.3.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@3/3.3.2/lib/libcrypto.3.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e' or 'arm64'))

which indicates that the OP installed AMD64 (x86_64) versions of several required libraries on a ARM Macintosh.

ARM Macs use Rosetta to run Intel code, when necessary:

Yes, python is cross-platform but this plugin should be made compatible with OpenSSL3. Until it is, there are only workarounds. I'm using Windows as a workaround since I'm already using it as backup for decrypting some Kindle books with Kindle for PC.

My Linux computer uses opennssl3, no problems with using this plugin.

I'm aware of this, but the stack trace provided by the OP indicates that it is not working.

This system's migrated from a much older Intel system (I'd guess 10.15)

For what it's worth, I installed DeACSM 0.0.16 on an Intel Mac in 2022 (I think) without any problem. I was probably running Catalina or Monterey at the time.

I got a new M2 Mac in 2023 and installed the same DeACSM 0.0.16 on that M2 Mac running Ventura, and have since updated to Sonoma and now Sequoia 15.5 with no problems. DeACSM still runs fine.

So DeACSM does run on Mac without VM. Also, I don't know what OpenSSL is, so unless it came packaged with macOS, I don't have it.

Thanks, I had it working back on Calibre 6, version 7 broke it and I've had zero luck trying (half heartedly) to get it working again since.

Ok so sounds as though I may be running OpenSSL3.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

OpenSSL is an implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer protocol and cipher suites. SSL is the "S" in HTTPS, among others. It's not part of the plugin, but is a library used by many applications including the plugin.

And, as evinced by the stack trace, the problem appears to lie in having an X86-64 package installed on an ARM system, and the X86 -> ARM translation layer isn't working.

Ok, this can only be the result of migration.

I'll see what I can do to resolve it.

Hi! I used to use the Artifacts for this plugin, but it doesn't seem available anymore (expired). What's the best route to download the plugin now? I'm on Linux. Thanks in advance

I have no idea what the "Artifacts" are but to load the plugin see the screenshot:
