Choosing a Build
In order to install rakuyomi, you'll first need to choose the correct build for your e-reader device. Read the section according to your device, and then download the appropriate build of the latest release. With the correct build in hand, proceed to install it to your device.
If your device is unsupported or does not work with the given builds, feel free to open an issue on the issue tracker!
Kindle
For Kindle devices, check the table below for determining the correct build:
| Model | Firmware Version | Build to Use |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd generation or older (devices with physical keyboards) |
any | unsupported |
| Kindle 4 or newer (devices without a physical keyboard) |
≥ 5.16.3 | Kindle (hard floats) |
| < 5.16.3 | Kindle | |
| Kindle CPU Cortex A9 (Kindle Paperwhite 3rd gen or older, Kindle Voyage 6th gen or older, Kindle 7th gen or older, Kindle Oasis 1st gen) | any | Kindle (Cortex-A9 optimized) |
reMarkable
Users of the reMarkable Paper Pro should use the AArch64 build. Other reMarkable devices should work with the Kindle build.
Kobo, PocketBook and other ARM e-readers
Use the Kindle build.
Desktop Linux
Use the desktop build.
Desktop macOS
Use the macOS build. It targets Apple Silicon (aarch64-apple-darwin); Intel Macs are not built.
BOOX and other Android-based e-readers
Not supported. Android e-readers need the Rakuyomi Bridge companion app to run the rakuyomi server, it is no longer published, and CI does not build the Android target, so no rakuyomi-android.zip is released.
