Please verify that the path `/usr/local/bin` is in the global variable `$PATH`.
|
||||
To verify this, issue the following command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "$PATH" | grep "/usr/local/bin"
|
||||
```
|
||||
if there is a line of output, you are all good!
|
||||
If there isn't, then issue the following command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
|
||||
echo "export PATH=\"/usr/local/bin:\$PATH\"" | sudo tee -a /etc/profile

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To use this script, follow this steps
|
||||
1. Open a terminal
|
||||
2. Go the location of the file you want to "convert" with the following command
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd <path>
|
||||
```
|
||||
where `<path>` is the location of the **folder** where lies the file to convert.
|
||||
3. Use the command `scantopdf` and give it, as an argument, the file you want to
|
||||
convert. If the file name contains **spaces**, surround it with **quotes** `"`
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
scantopdf "I Promessi Sposi.pdf"
|
||||
```
|
||||
Optionally you can give it the `-v` flag (before the name of the file), to make
|
||||
the script verbose, so instead of doing its job without saying anything, it will
|
||||
print each step that it's doing.
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
scantopdf -v "La Divina Commedia.pdf"
|
||||
```
