Accessing Calibre CLI commands from Mac
Hello
I seem unable to use Calibre's CLI commands from my Mac (MacOS = Catalina). I am able to find those commands by 'showing package contents' of the calibre icon inside of the Applications folder:
...I only get this read-only command help documentation I'm not able to type anything:
However, when I open into Mac Terminal...
...however if I start, instead, by first opening up Terminal, and then plugging in the path to it by typing: cd /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS, listing it using ls, I can see calibredb. However if I type:
calibredb list_categories --help
I get:
zsh: command not found: calibredb
...even though I am in the directory and can see the calibredb file using ls.
Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong?
For context, what I'm trying to do is to list out all of my tags so that I can use another program to help me better visualize and rearrange / reorganize my tags... to plan it out outside of calibre so that my head is clearer once I'm in calibre to implement the new reorganization.
Thank you
Bill
