I have read over the manual and all it said to do is to go to Preferences > Miscellaneous > Install Command Line tools

I have no idea if I've installed the program correctly or not but all I have in the miscellaneous section are 4 options:

1) Debug device detection
2) Get information to set up the user defined device
3) Create a calibre icon theme
4) Open calibre configuration directory

All the screen shots that I've seen replaces the option of "Create a calibre icon theme" with the "Install command line tools".

My device is a MacBook Pro 13" Retina display. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
@SilverWinter - Welcome to Mobileread and to calibre, your post is fine. As a general rule we would prefer users start a new thread rather than jumping onto the back of an existing thread.

In your travels though the manual perhaps you did not notice this

Quote:
Note : On OS X, the command line tools are inside the calibre bundle, for example, if you installed calibre in /Applications the command line tools are in /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/.
Its at the top of the Command Line Interface section

Hope that helps

BR
