More Options?

You can run with the following 2 options:

--generate-metadata

To generate the meta.txt file which contains the list of bookmarks to be inserted. This is required if you make changes to the file lists. This also requires qpdf to be installed.

--download-cover-image

Download the cover image. The repo already has a cover.pdf file which is used by default. Do this if the cover URL changes. Requires wget to be installed.
