# Local Development
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are interested in just generating the books, follow the guide on the README instead.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Requirements
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Ruby
|
||
|
- Nokogiri gem installed (`gem install nokogiri`)
|
||
|
- `pandoc` installed and available (for all 3 formats)
|
||
|
- Paru gem installed (`gem install paru`)
|
||
|
- (mobi only): `ebook-convert` (from calibre) available to generate the mobi file
|
||
|
- (pdf) `wkhtmltopdf` for converting html to pdf
|
||
|
- (pdf) `pdftk` to stitch the final PDF file
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The final 2 tools can be skipped if you don't care about the PDF generation.
|
||
|
- You can also skip calibre if you only want the EPUB file.
|
||
|
- Edit the last line in `*.rb` to `:epub` / `:mobi`, `:pdf` to only trigger the specific builds
|
||
|
- Windows users need wget. Download the latest wget.exe from https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ and add it's directory to the PATH environment variable or put it directly in C:\Windows.

|
## Generation
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Oathbringer
|
||
|
|
||
|
After downloading the repo and installing the requirements, just run
|
||
|
|
||
|
ruby oathbringer.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the generated files will be saved with the filename `Oathbringer.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}`
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Way of Kings Reread
|
||
|
|
||
|
To generate the book:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ruby wok-reread.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the generated files will be saved with the filename `wok-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}`
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Words of Radiance Reread
|
||
|
|
||
|
To generate the book:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ruby wor-reread.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the generated files will be saved with the filename `books/wok-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}`. This generation might take a while because it contains a lot of images. It doesn't have the best possible index either, but is still pretty readable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Edgedancer Reread
|
||
|
|
||
|
To generate the book:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ruby edgedancer-reread.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the generated files will be saved with the filename `books/edgedancer-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}`. This generation might take a while because it contains a lot of images. It doesn't have the best possible index either, but is still pretty readable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Way of Kings Prime
|
||
|
|
||
|
ruby wok-prime.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the generated files will be saved with the filename `books/wok-prime.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}`. This generation might take a while the script attempts to strip out unnecessary HTML.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Oathbringer Reread
|
||
|
|
||
|
ruby oathbringer-reread.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the generated files will be saved with the filename `books/oathbringer-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}`. This generation might take a while the script attempts to strip out unnecessary HTML.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Skyward
|
||
|
|
||
|
ruby skyward.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
All the generated files will be saved with the filename `books/skyward.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}`. This generation might take a while the script attempts to strip out unnecessary HTML.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Defending Elysium
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is just lazily using Pandoc, since there is just a single page.
|
||
|
|
||
|
pandoc -t epub https://brandonsanderson.com/defending-elysium/ -o defending-elysium.epub --epub-cover-image=covers/defending-elysium.jpg --epub-metadata=metadata/defending-elysium.xml
