Question Calibre download failed on PC with Linux
I am a linux novice and have a new PC with linux - upgrades up to date. I have copied the command line in terminal for binary install multiple times exactly as written and triple checked. But keep getting syntax error message.

Have no idea what I'm doing wrong!

I use Mint and have never had a problem with downloading calibre post the results from your terminal.

Try this:
Code:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda x:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main('/opt')"
