This Repo provides .deb Releases, and I successfully installed it on my ubuntu device. But I cant launch IT.

The Readme did not tell me how to start it

I just tried it myself. The command dpkg -L calibre-web outputs the location to /opt/calibre-web. In this folder there is a command called calibreweb. This can be started. Calibre-web get's installed as root, but it's not recommended to run it as root, so I recommed to change the ownership of the whole folder and all it's subfolders and content to a normal user and run it this way. (I'll check if it's easy to change and I will document how to start the program)
