Make sure pip is installed too (it should be by default). Run WINEPREFIX='$HOME/.wine32' wine cmd /c '' and follow the install process. exe installer and be sure to choose a sub-version that works with the version of Windows your Wine is configured to run as (for example, if Wine runs as Windows 7, 3.9 won’t work). Download a Python 3 installer from the Python website. Next, install Python 3 and pyOpenSSL under Wine. If you have an ACSM file (called “URLLink.acsm” or similar), rather than an EPUB, click File > Add to Library and open the ACSM file. Some posts online suggest that it is a better idea to download ADE version 2 or 3 as those versions apparently use a more easily removed form of DRM.įor the rest of the steps I’ll assume your WINEPREFIX is “$HOME/.wine32”.ĪDE should open automatically upon installing it if not, you should find it somewhere like “$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Digital Edition 4.5”. I installed version 4.5.11, so that is what these instructions are tailored for. Install Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) through Wine, by following the instructions in the Reddit post referred to by rainbowgoblin above.Like rainbowgoblin, I came across this thread and wanted to post some updated instructions that worked for me when using Calibre v5.12 and version 7.1.0 of the DeDRM plugin (as earlier versions of DeDRM don’t work with Calibre v5). This worked for me… if it doesn’t work for you I suggest running Calibre from the command line, you’ll be able to see the errors that DeDRM throws when it tries to decrypt your ADE activation key Set the WINEPREFIX to whatever you used (in my case, you can see it was /home/username/.wine32… if you used /home/yourusername/.adewine then you should use this, it’s totally dependent on how you installed ADE!) In Calibre, install DeDRM and configure it.WINEPREFIX='$HOME/.wine32' wine msiexec /i ~/Downloads/python-2.7.18.msi

Download and install Python 2.7 (32-bit) and P圜rypto using Wine, e.g.:.After you install ADE, open it and activate your computer.I followed instructions I found in a Reddit thread (sorry, I can’t post the link) called installing_adobe_digital_editions_wine These instructions are for Arch Linux, so for Ubuntu the exact commands will be different, but the key is you need wine, winetricks, samba, and lib32-gnutils. I came across this thread and wanted to add the steps that I had to follow to get DeDRM working on Linux using Wine.
