## org.crosswire.jsword.book.install
Interface Installer

All Superinterfaces:
  BookList

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AbstractSwordInstaller, HttpSwordInstaller

    public interface Installer

extends BookList

An interface that allows us to download from a specific source of Bible data. It is important that implementor of this interface define equals() and hashcode() properly.

To start with I only envisage that we use Sword sourced Bible data however the rest of the system is designed to be able to use data from e-Sword, OLB, etc.

    the remote uri for the BookMetaData

### getBooks

    List getBooks()

  Get a list of BookMetaData objects that represent downloadable books. If no list has been retrieved from the remote source using reloadIndex() then we should just return an empty list and not attempt to contact the remote source. See notes on reload for more information.

  See Also:
    `reloadBookList()`

  Download and install a book locally. The name should be one from an index list retrieved from getIndex() or reloadIndex()
