Installation

Pre-requisites

Note: these packages are usually already installed on Windows 7 and above. Manual one-off installation may be needed when using the ZIP distribution or the MSI installer, especially on Windows Vista and XP.

System Requirements

  • Windows XP SP3 is the minimum requirement. Windows 10 or Windows 7 is recommended for best performance. Tobi natively supports 32 and 64 bits runtimes.
  • Minimal hardware specification: 1.8GHz single core / 1.5 GHz dual core processor, 2 GB RAM, 1024×768 display, dedicated graphics card.

Optional Extras

  • Java runtime, v7, is needed for EPUBCheck and ZedVal validators (v8 is not compatible with ZedVal), v7 for the DAISY Pipeline v1.7, v8 for the latest DAISY Pipeline version).
    Note: Java must be configured in Windows’ PATH environment variable, which is automatically set when installing the Oracle JDK (conversely, the JRE requires manually setting the PATH, and a reboot). Open the Windows command prompt and type java -version and click return/enter to see if Java is configured correctly on your machine.

  • DAISY Pipeline:
    Tobi uses Pipeline to convert DAISY content (DTBOOK, DAISY 3, DAISY 2.02) to EPUB 3. Please download and execute the Pipeline installer, and Tobi should subsequently be able to discover the path leading to the Pipeline runtime (command line executable):
