summary: how to use LibreOffice with Terminal (on MacOS)

Using papers, we can store our memories.

However, they can be easily lost due to mistakes.

Then what about digital notes as Notion?

It has only a few features that cannot fulfill our expextations.

I recommend LibreOffice.

It creates documents with the .odt filename extension

which can be converted into word (.docx), pdf files.

We can convert files with Terminal or GUI in the program.

I'll Introduce only the Terminal way.

First, install the commands. (Using Homebrew)

brew install --cask libreoffice

Next, move (change the directory) position where you want to store those files.

cd directory_name

Then, we will convert the files.

Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to docx yourfile.odt
