After downloading the plugin, follow these instructions to install it on your device.

The settings.json file contains basic settings that rakuyomi needs to work, including:

• Source lists: URLs containing information about available sources
• Languages: Your preferred reading languages

A recommended starter configuration is created automatically on the first plugin start, so writing this file by hand is optional. The defaults are equivalent to the snippet below — use it as a reference if you want to customise the file before that first run.

Any source that can run on Aidoku can also run on rakuyomi (except WebView)

{
  "$schema": "https://github.com/tachibana-shin/rakuyomi/releases/latest/download/settings.schema.json",
  "source_lists": [
    "https://tachibana-shin.github.io/aidoku-sources-next/index.min.json",
    "https://aidoku-community.github.io/sources/index.min.json"
  ],
  "languages": ["en"]
}

1. Extract the .zip file containing the plugin. You should find a rakuyomi.koplugin folder inside.

2. Connect your e-reader to your computer.

3. Navigate to your KOReader installation folder. Common locations include:

   • Cervantes: /mnt/private/koreader
   • Kindle: koreader/
   • Kobo: .adds/koreader/
   • PocketBook: applications/koreader/

4. Locate the plugins folder:

5. Copy the entire rakuyomi.koplugin folder into the plugins folder:

6. Return to the KOReader folder and create a new rakuyomi folder:

7. Copy your settings.json file into the new rakuyomi folder:
