Create an account with ADE then activate using
adept_activate -u "your.adobe.id@email.com" --output-dir ~/.adept
IIUC this eats up an activation (I think they allow at most five) so back up the contents of that directory. You should be able to bring it with you to other computers.
libgourou has no need for anything that has to do with Kobo. It's really only three cli commands: activate (once), download acsm, de-drm. It produces an unencrypted .epub that you can open as is or copy to your Kobo device with any ordinary file operation.
