Bibliofile

A TUI-based ebook reader inspired by NCurses-era programs!

Bibliofile is a simplified epub reader with automatic bookmarking!

installation

At the moment, Bibliofile is a work-in-progress, so it is not part of any package manager, and no binaries are available at the moment. However to run this while in alpha, you can follow the Instructions down below.

1

Install Rust. The full Instructions on how to do this are here: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

The easiest way of installing Rust is with the following command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

2

Clone the repository to the directory of your choice

git clone https://git.whoisthisjoker.com/daniel/bibliofile

3

cd into the directory bibliofile. Compile the program. This is best done with cargo.

cargo build

The executable will be in target/debug.

Please keep in mind, at this point in development compilation success is not guaranteed.

running

Running the program is simple, as at this point there is not many features. Simply run

bibliofile [booknamehere.epub]

There will be buttons at the bottom of each page that allow you to turn pages. Simply press "last" or "next" to turn the page.

disclamers

This program is in alpha, and I am trying to get base functionality working. It will be lacking features, and can currently only read epub files. Mobi and PDF are not supported.
