Mac OS X -- Command Line/Terminal

drnkusv · 11-06-2008, 10:41 AM

I am sure this is a stupid question, but I could not find it having been asked previously.

Is anyone familiar with the proper way to use Calibre from the command line (presumbaly Terminal) on the Mac?

I want to use the feeds2epub command directly without going through the GUI, if possible.

Thanks.

Never mind -- I figured it out. Sorry for the trouble.

Sorry to reactivate this thread but I'm currently trying to figure out how to use calibre on Mac OS from the terminal. Can anyone provide help please?

There really isn't a whole lot to it. If you have Calibre on your machine, all of these commands can be run from the command line.

For novice help with the command line, see Visual Kindle Guide. In particular, look at "Command Prompt Vista/XP/Mac" and "Kindle Mobi2Mobi Mac". On a Windows PC (and I assume a Mac), Calibre makes sure its commands are automatically in the command "path" so you just type them in from any folder.

Note that many of the commands change under calibre 0.6 beta which will very soon be the default.
