calibredb export [options] ids

Being a novice, I thought I would try:

calibredb list -h

But all I get is calibredb: command not found.

Do I need to use Terminal to navigate to a particular folder to run this command? If so, which folder?

Assuming that I get this going, can someone PLEASE tell me what to type so that the CSV file is written to a folder on my desktop, say, Test?

Or take stop wasting everyone's time, can someone point me to any article that explains how to do this? I searched in this forum but nothing came up.

Thanks in advance.
I am puzzled by the 'Command Not found'? (I am not a MAC person)
There is a Catalog specific calibredb command

> calibredb catalog --help
Usage:
calibredb.exe catalog /path/to/destination.(CSV|EPUB|MOBI|XML ...) [options]

Export a catalog in format specified by path/to/destination extension.
Options control how entries are displayed in the generated catalog ouput.

You must specify a catalog output file of the form 'path/to/destination.extension'
[/CODE]
Anyway, I am glad you got a working solution..
