macOS FAQ

If you downloaded the app manually and saved it to a custom directory (like ~/Downloads), to run evernote2md in this directory, you may need to append ./ in front the app name.

Like this:

cd ~/Downloads
./evernote2md my_export.enex notes

To avoid this problem, install evernote2md using homebrew.

On macOS Catalina or higher, you may get a warning when you try to run the program:

"evernote2md" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified

Run the following command to remove all extended attributes macOS created for the downloaded file:

xattr -c evernote2md

You will not get any warnings after this operation. Despite the fact that they actually cannot verify the developer, the code is open-source and malware-free.
