Its focus is novels and fiction, and the default settings should (hopefully) generate readable books with correct typography without requiring you to worry about it. Example To see a full example of what Crowbook's output looks like, you can read the Crowbook guide rendered in HTML, PDF or EPUB. Installing There are two ways to install Crowbook: either using precompiled binaries, or compiling it using cargo . Binaries See the releases page to download a precompiled binary for your architecture. Just extract the archive and run crowbook (or crowbook.exe on Windows). You might also want to copy the binary somewhere in your PATH for later usage. Using Cargo Cargo is the package manager for Rust. You can install it here. Once that is done: will automatically download the latest crowbook release on crates.io, compile it, and install it on your system. Some dependencies also require building C libraries; you might thus also need to install a C compiler and make / cmake build tools. Dependencies While there should be, strictly speaking, no real dependencies to be able to run Crowbook (it is published as a statically compiled binary), PDF rendering requires a working installation of LaTeX (preferably xelatex ). Quick tour The simplest command is: where BOOK is a configuration file.
