OSX NConvert Installation

Post by jordoco »

I am trying to run NConvert from the OSX Terminal without much luck. Double clicked and expanded the maxosx.tgz file in the Download directory. Double clicking nconvert returns the following without a prompt to exit:

** NCONVERT v5.62 (c) 1991-2010 Pierre-E Gougelet (Apr 23 2010/10:18:25) **
Version for MacOS X (All rights reserved)
** This is a freeware software (for non commercial use)

Usage : nconvert [options ...] file ...
Type nconvert -help, for more information
logout

[Process completed]

--------------------------

Starting NConvert from the terminal in the Downloads directory simply returns:

-bash: nconvert: command not found

Looked around and found about adding nConvert to the .profile but having difficulty with that too. NEWBIE ALERT!

Any help would be greatly appreciated... :D

There is no installation, you must run nconvert from a terminal

Code: Select all

./nconvert
