How to?

[deteeegit]

For anyone starting from absolute zero like I was, the following might help.

On Windows:

1. Download the binary. Note the directory/location of the download.

2. Unzip it into the same directory. Don't run it, just unzip it.

3. Open Powershelll with Admin rights.

4. In Powershell, change the working directory to the location of the downloaded and unzipped binary using the cd command, .
   e.g. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd /downloads

5. In Powershell, start the DATABASE with this command:
   .\evernote-backup init-db
   --let it finish

6. In Powershell, start the SYNC with this command:
   .\evernote-backup sync
   --let it finish

7. In Powershell, start the OUTPUT with this command:
   .\evernote-backup export output_dir/
   --let it finish. Your exported notebook .ENEXs will be in a folder callled output_dir located in the same the place where you unzipped the binary.

Thanks again to the nice person who built this awesome tool!

Hello @deteeegit , i'm stuck at step 5, any idea why ?

I have this issue when I use portable Windows,
and also in WSL2 with the Linux version..

My login + password is correct, but the same error happens when they are wrong too.

PS C:\Users\xxx\Documents\bin_evernote_backup_1.9.3_win_x64> .\evernote-backup.exe init-db
Logging in to Evernote...

I also tried reauth instead but got this message:
.\evernote-backup reauth
Reading database en_backup.db...
Database file en_backup.db does not exist. Initialize database first!

Thank you for your help

Same issue here today. Worked just fine in June but as my EN sub is coming to an end, I wanted to export everything one last time. Output when logging in is:
