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.
IIRC there are specific instructions on the MAC version download page for CLI tools
MAC's = more work

Linux and Win= 1click installs
