The Readium CLI (Command Line Interface) is a multi-command utility based on the go-toolkit.
It covers an extended set of use cases beyond reading, allowing authors, publishers, distributors, retailers and libraries to easily interact with publication files.
Multiplatform builds are available directly from the releases section of this repository.
As an alternative, to install readium in ~/go/bin, run make install. Use make build to build the binary in the current directory.
