If you want to build an EPUB file that meets the minimum requirements of EPUB 3.0 specification, you need to prepare the following:

1. A text file called "mimetype" with one line listed below. It specifies the mimetype of an EPUB 3.0 book file.

application/epub+zip

2. An XML file called "container.xml" in a sub folder named as "META-INF". The "container" file uses the XML format to specify a package file of any name, for example: package.opf.

3. A package file named like package.opf, in XML format to define required meta data and specify 2 required XHTML files: one provides navigation information of the book, and the other provides the content of the book.

4. A navigation file named like navigation.xhtml that uses the XHTML language. It provides navigation information like a table of contents of the book.

5. A content file named like content.xhtml that uses the XHTML language. It provides the content of the book.

6. Package all above 5 files into a ZIP file named like Hello-3.0.epub.

The resulting ZIP file, Hello-3.0.epub, is an EPUB 3.0 file that meets the minimum requirements of EPUB 3.0 specifications.
