Convert to PDF - Need to install ebook-convert from Calibre

[quanghoc]

I had this on SO

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24339276/gitbook-error-on-need-to-install-ebook-convert-from-calibre

The CLI is available

$ ebook-convert

Usage: ebook-convert input_file output_file [options]

Convert an ebook from one format to another.

But I still got error below when converting to PDF

Need to install ebook-convert from Calibre

The error may be something else but I can't find the log or figure out why.

Mac 10.9.3
I have both Xcode 5 and 6-Beta. Maybe that's why?

Never mind. I just had to go Calibre > Misc > Install Command Line Tool

@quanghoc Excuse me, I could not find any menu option like "Install Command Line Tool" from Calibre app on Mac OS X.

Which version of Calibre should I install ?

[kaelzhang]

ln -s /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert /usr/local/bin

And it works.

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS

I'm running on Ubuntu and I get this error. I did install ebook-convert from npm.
