Finding a CherryTree to Markdown converter

Acry, 10 February 2023

To export my data from CherryTree to markdown I needed a converter. I found the CherryTree to Markdown converter; problem: it is written in PHP and I don’t had PHP installed on my machine. Currently I am on Manjaro.


Here is what I did to get it running:

  • sudo pacman -S php
  • in /etc/php/php.ini remove the semicolon to enable extension=exif

The converter uses composer for PHP dependency management:

  • sudo pacman -S composer
  • php composer.phar update
  • php composer.phar install

Then run the shell script in the examples folder. Hope that helps.


Happy Hacking,
