Worked for me on CentOS 6. I just run the install script.

CODE

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

Make sure you have xdg-utils installed.

Thanks for the help with the command :] I had to tweak it a bit however. I am sitting in the office and we access the internet through proxy so this:

CODE

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

I had to change to this:

CODE

sudo python -c "import urllib2; proxy=urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': 'http://proxy_username:proxy_password@proxy_url:proxy_port'}); auth=urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(); opener=urllib2.build_opener(proxy,auth,urllib2.HTTPHandler); urllib2.install_opener(opener); exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

Worked nicely for me :]
