# epuppy - terminal epub reader
This is a little TUI epub ebook reader. This is a work in progress and
may not work for all EPUB files yet. It uses a modified version of the
[epub module](https://github.com/kapmahc/epub/), which seems to be
unmaintained but the best I could find to parse EPUBs. Find it in the
`pkg/epub/` directory.

## Installation
The tool does not have any dependencies. Just download the binary for
your platform from the releases page and you're good to go.
### Installation using a pre-compiled binary
Go to the [latest release page](https://github.com/TLINDEN/epuppy/releases/latest)
and look for your OS and platform. There are two options to install the binary:
Directly download the binary for your platform,
e.g. `epuppy-linux-amd64-0.0.2`, rename it to `epuppy` (or whatever
you like more!) and put it into your bin dir (e.g. `$HOME/bin` or as
root to `/usr/local/bin`).
Be sure to verify the signature of the binary file. For this also
download the matching `epuppy-linux-amd64-0.0.2.sha256` file and:
```shell
cat epuppy-linux-amd64-0.0.2.sha25 && sha256sum epuppy-linux-amd64-0.0.2
```
You should see the same SHA256 hash.
You may also download a binary tarball for your platform, e.g.
`epuppy-linux-amd64-0.0.2.tar.gz`, unpack and install it. GNU Make is
required for this:
```shell
tar xvfz epuppy-linux-amd64-0.0.2.tar.gz
cd epuppy-linux-amd64-0.0.2
sudo make install
```
### Installation from source
Check out the repository and execute `go build`, then copy the
compiled binary to your `$PATH`.
Or, if you have GNU Make installed, just execute:
```default
make
sudo make install
```
