Download ACSM files in Linux - without using Adobe Digital Editions!
There are a few limitations, but nothing too serious:
- Only ePub is supported.
- No PDF Command line only.
- Alpha quality software. It works - but is a bit finickity
You can compile the code yourself, but I just downloaded the pre-built binaries.
On Ubuntu needed to sudo apt install libzip-dev
Once you've unzipped the download, cd into it and run:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWD
Then
./adept_activate -u [email protected] -p SuperStrongPassword
Use the same credentials as you do in Adobe Digital Editions. You can just use the -u flag and type your password in at the prompt - but I couldn't get that to work. The -p flag worked fine.
After a few seconds, you'll see:
[email protected] fully signed and device activated in /home/you/libgourou_utils_0.3.1/./.adept
Then run:
./acsmdownloader -f whatever.acsm
After a few moments, you'll see:
Created whatever.epub
That's it! Your file is downloaded and you can read the ePub.
Note: If you try to download a PDF, you'll get an error saying:
Exception code : 0x5007
Message : whatever.epub
You can rename the file back to .pdf, but it will still be encrypted.
