I have installed calibre 1.38.0 via the pkg provided on calibres hompage.
From my use of calibre on linux I was accustomed to using calibres command line tools, e.g ebook-convert and calibredb.

These commands haven't been added to my path on my osx system, nor could I find their location in /Applications/calibre.app.

Where else should I look on the fs? Or could it even be possible that the cli tools are not available on macos after all?

I am slowly transitioning from years of linux usage to macos, so some light handholding would be appreciated.

Cheers.
