Usage
Usage: dictutil install [options] dictzip
Options:
-k, --kobo string KOBOeReader path (default: automatically detected)
-l, --locale string Locale name to use (format: ALPHANUMERIC{2}[-ALPHANUMERIC{2}]) (default: detected from filename if in format dicthtml-**.zip)
-n, --name string Custom additional label for dictionary (ignored when replacing built-in dictionaries) (doesn't have any effect on 4.20.14601+)
-b, --builtin string How to handle built-in locales [replace = replace and prevent from syncing] [ignore = replace and leave syncing as-is] (doesn't have any effect on 4.24.15672+) (default "replace")
-B, --no-custom Whether to force installation to .kobo/dict instead of .kobo/custom-dict (4.24.15672+ only)
--use-extra-locales Whether to use ExtraLocales on 4.24.15672+ if not a built-in dictionary (this is not required anymore since 4.24.15672) (4.24.15672+ only)
-h, --help Show this help text
Note:
If you are not replacing a built-in dictionary and are using a firmware
version before 4.24.15672, the 'Enable searches on extra dictionaries patch'
must be installed or you will not be able to select your custom dictionary.
Examples
Install a dictionary with the locale in the filename (dicthtml-**.zip):
dictutil install dicthtml-aa.zip
Install a dictionary with a different locale:
dictutil install --locale aa mydictionary.zip
Install a dictionary on a specific Kobo:
dictutil install --kobo /path/to/KOBOeReader dicthtml-aa.zip
Install a dictionary with a custom label (4.19.14123 and older):
dictutil install --name "My Dictionary" dicthtml-aa.zip
