Admit that your username is "alfredmouelle", you're using a MAC and the project name is "pdf-to-json", the line will looks like export PATH="/Users/alfredmouelle/pdf-to-json:$PATH"
  • Reload you shell configurations with source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bash_profile

That's all just use it

Example : pdftojson /path_to_you_pdf_file

The output file will be stored to you "Downloads" folder inside the "pdf-to-json" folder
