APPENDIX A: INSTALLING JUTOH
The first time you run Jutoh, you may need to control-click and select Open, to stop Mac OS X trying
to protect you from an unknown program. For details, please see www.jutoh.com/macinstall.htm.
Kindlegen
You will need to download and install Amazon’s Kindlegen if you wish to create Mobipocket (Kindle)
files.
In the Jutoh Preferences dialog under Helpers, or in the Setup Wizard, click on Help Me Install
Kindlegen. Then, as per the instructions for Windows above, click on Download and Install to get
Jutoh to perform the whole process automatically.
To install Kindlegen manually, download it from www.amazon.com/kindlepublishing; at the time of
writing it is bundled as a zip file, which you can unarchive to any suitable folder such as
/Applications/Kindlegen. Then set the path of the kindlegen program in Jutoh’s Preferences
dialog, under Helpers. For example, the path might be /Applications/Kindlegen/kindlegen.
If Kindlegen isn’t working within Jutoh, first check that the path in the Helpers dialog refers to a file
that exists. If that’s not the problem, perhaps Java isn’t installed. You can check this by opening a
terminal window and typing java. If there’s an error message that indicates that the command is not
found, go to www.java.com and download and install Java.
Installing on Linux
Jutoh
Download a suitable file from from www.jutoh.com/download.htm. There are versions for several
methods of installation (tarball, Debian package and RPM), and also 32-bit and 64-bit variants.
If you are using a Debian or Ubuntu-derived version of Linux, you can use the .deb archive. If you are
using Fedora, Mandriva, SuSE Linux, PCLinuxOS, you can use the .rpm archive.
To install the generic tarball version, unarchive Jutoh-x.y-i386.tar.gz to a temporary location, such
as /tmp. Then run the script installjutoh and follow the instructions. This will copy the application
files and launch script jutoh2 to locations of your choice. If you want to install it system-wide, log in
as root first or use sudo. So you would type something like:
cd /tmp
tar xvfz ~/Downloads/Jutoh-2.10-i386.tar.gz
sudo ./installjutoh
To install the .deb version, use a command like this:
sudo dpkg -i jutoh_2.10-i386.deb
To install the .rpm version, use a command like this:
sudo rpm -i jutoh-2.10_i386.rpm
Now you should be able to run Jutoh with an icon installed in the desktop environment’s menu, or by
running jutoh2 from a terminal.
