Bug Description

Hello everyone,

this is something I've been dreaming about ever since I started using Calibre years ago.

I would love to be able to install Calibre's CLI tools with my package manager and have them working *without* also installing the huge GUI, that I pretty much never use. Would that be possible, and would it be much work to implement?

Thanks a lot,

M.

There is nothing huge about the GUI. You would save literally miniscule
amounts of disk space by not installing the GUI, since the largest GUI
dependency, Qt is also needed by various commandline tools.
