You probably have to add /usr/local/bin to your path. If it didn't already exist it probably isn't in your path.

Add it like this...

cd /etc
sudo pico paths

This will put you into a little editor. Go to the bottom of the file and add and new line with

/usr/local/bin

Then use control-X to exit. It will ask you if you want to save, press Y.

Now you will need to close terminal Cmd-Q... then reopen it and try to type kindlepid at the command line... see if you get the logo response. If so, try your command. If you get an error post it here.
