# Command Line Interface Installation Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
If you're not a fan of GUIs, but you still want to take DRM off of your
|
||||
ebooks, then this guide is for you.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide assumes you are on Linux, but it may very well work on other
|
||||
platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step-by-step Tutorial
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install Calibre
|
||||
- Follow [Calibre's installation instructions](https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install plugins
|
||||
- Download the DeDRM `.zip` archive from DeDRM_tools'
|
||||
[latest release](https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases/latest).
|
||||
Then unzip it.
|
||||
- Add the DeDRM plugin to Calibre:
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd *the unzipped DeDRM_tools folder*
|
||||
calibre-customize --add DeDRM_calibre_plugin/DeDRM_plugin.zip
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Add the Obok plugin:
|
||||
```
|
||||
calibre-customize --add Obok_calibre_plugin/obok_plugin.zip
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Enter your keys
|
||||
- Figure out what format DeDRM wants your key in by looking in
|
||||
[the code that handles that](src/prefs.py).
|
||||
- For Kindle eInk devices, DeDRM expects you to put a list of serial
|
||||
numbers in the `serials` field: `"serials": ["012345689abcdef"]` or
|
||||
`"serials": ["1111111111111111", "2222222222222222"]`.
|
||||
- Now add your keys to `$CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY/plugins/dedrm.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Import your books
|
||||
- Make a library folder
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir library
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Add your book(s) with this command:
|
||||
```
|
||||
calibredb add /path/to/book.format --with-library=library
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The DRM should be removed from your book, which you can find in the `library`
|
||||
folder.

## I cannot solve my problem with the Windows DeDRM application, and now I need to ‘post a log’. How do I do that?
|
||||
The Windows DeDRM application creates a log file in your home directory (C:\Users\[username]) every time it is run. After unsuccessfully removing DRM from one ebook, copy the contents of the log file (it is a simple text file) and paste it into your comment at Apprentice Alf's blog or in a new issue at Apprentice Harper's github repository.

## Is there a way to use the DeDRM tools from the command line?
