Installer is apt-based/compatibility with Fedora

[ilippert]

The installer requires apt. Did not work for rpm based Linuxes.
A warning would be helpful.

except for the ebooks lib, all dependencies are available for fedora.
copying the debian ebooks lib into my fedora system /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages allowed QualCoder to work.

Thanks for the information. I am not familiar with the Fedora rpm package OS. I will add a warning to the install.sh script. (After I did this, then I saw the pull request - that caused a conflict, but is now resolved).
I have recently found the ebook lib did not work for obtaining a text that previously worked. So ebook importation may be a problem for now. Please let me know, and then I might have to source another ebook library.

Thanks a lot for the immediate change. I looked into the production of rpm packages. If I find time, I might make a proposal for a rpm package.

Hi, I am currently trying to reinstall the package on another Fedora system. The ebook package still provides headache. If you have a chance to source an ebook package that is easily available also as a fedora package, that would be amazing ;)

My current workaround is this

python3 -m pip install Ebooklib

and then move the files from root/.local to /usr

sudo mv ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/Ebook* /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ & sudo mv ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ebook* /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/

In the qualcoder readme for Fedora this line is not clear to me:
Except for install the debian-based installation of dependencies, the install.sh should run as expected.

Can you also put the actions in the ReadMe for fedora? (e.g. the Eblloklib install and the sudo mv commands)

@ilippert I have added a install_fedora.sh script. For python 3.8 only.
Are you able to test this for me on Fedora?

[ccbogel]

I will close this issue soon, as I have not received a response.

[ilippert]

Thank you for your patience, sorry for not responding. Let's close it at this point. I will get back here if I encounter an issue in the next reinstall :)

[ilippert]

ok, tested now and offered suggestions at #408 and #407
