java command not found in terminal

Question

I am trying to use deck2pdf which is a java program to make pdf out of javascript slides presentation.

I followed the installation process from github:

cloned the repo
made ./gradlew distZip which generated a .zip file in build/distributions/
unizpped this file deck2pdf-0.2-SNAPSHOT.zip in my JS project folder

this folder has the following content:

- deck2pdf-0.2-SNAPSHOT
    - bin
        - deck2pdf
        - deck2pdf.bat
    - lib
        - deck2pdf-0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
        - groovy-2.3.2.jar
        - itextpdf-5.5.1.jar
        - jfxrt.jar

then, I call deck2pdf in the terminal from my project folder, but it says : command not found

what am I doing wrong?

Do you have Java installed? Try to type java -h into your terminal. What is the result? If Java cannot be found, you might have to modify your System's Path variable and add Java. — Claas Wilke

@ClaasWilke java -h displays the manual. when I do java -version i have java version "1.8.0_11". In the path i added this: export JAVA_HOME="/usr/libexec/java_home". should i do something else? — François Romain

Instead of:

deck2pdf

You need to run

./deck2pdf

this says: -bash: ./deck2pdf: is a directory, and nothing happens

finally… it's working… almost. the generated pdf is just blank pages, but at least there is something happening. thank you.
