# Introduction

This repo wraps a calibre instance in a container for stripping DRM from ebooks using calibre. We're using docker to abstract away any calibre's platform specific differences

## Instructions

### Requirements

1. Ensure docker is installed and setup on your respective platform

    1. Give docker access to the following folders in this repo:

        * ./library

        * ./plugins

        * ./to_import

    On OSx, you can find these settings under preferences -> Resources -> File Sharing

2. Ensure git is installed and setup with access to github on your respective platform

3. Ensure git-lfs is installed on your respective platform

After the above is insured, clone this repo, and run git-lfs pull. Then, continue to the next section.

## Setup
