I have installed calibre, but now I can only execute it with

sudo calibre

What should I do to be able to execute it without root privileges, that is, without sudo?

Another problem associated with that is that all files and directories generated by calibre are owned by root.

I finally found the solution myself. I simply had to change permissions of the directories /opt and /opt/calibre so that any user can access to them. Now I can execute calibre without root privileges by simply writing

calibre

and all files and directories generated by calibre are owned by my user.
