get-calibre-tools will search for calibre on your computer.

• In the mac, will find the /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/ directory.
• In the linux, will find the /usr/bin/ directory
• In the windows, will find the C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\ directory. If not, it will also look up the registry field: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\

If not, you will get an error and prompt you to set the path manually using the setPath method.

Use

Under normal circumstances

const getCalibreTools = require('get-calibre-tools');

getCalibreTools('ebook-meta')

  .then(path => {
    console.log(path) // => file path
  })

File not found

const getCalibreTools = require('get-calibre-tools');

getCalibreTools('ebook-meta')

    console.log(e); // => [get-calibre-tools]: Did not find ebook-meta(.exe) file. Please use the setPath method to manually specify the path.
