## Quick start
|
|
|
|
1. Install dependencies by running `pip3 install --target vendor -r requirements.txt` (python3.x) or `pip install --target vendor -r requirements.txt` (python2.7).
|
|
2. Execute the command: `python cps.py` (or `nohup python cps.py` - recommended if you want to exit the terminal window)
|
|
3. Point your browser to `http://localhost:8083` or `http://localhost:8083/opds` for the OPDS catalog
|
|
4. Set `Location of Calibre database` to the path of the folder where your Calibre library (metadata.db) lives, push "submit" button\
|
|
Optionally a Google Drive can be used to host the calibre library [-> Using Google Drive integration](https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/wiki/Configuration#using-google-drive-integration)
|
|
5. Go to Login page
|
|
|
|
**Default admin login:**\
|
|
*Username:* admin\
|
|
*Password:* admin123
|
|
|
|
**Issues with Ubuntu:**
|
|
Please note that running the above install command can fail on some versions of Ubuntu, saying `"can't combine user with prefix"`. This is a [known bug](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3826) and can be remedied by using the command `pip install --system --target vendor -r requirements.txt` instead.
|
