• You must have Pandoc installed on your system and accessible in your system PATH. Check by running pandoc --version in a PowerShell or cmd window.
• Python version only: You must have Python 3 installed on your system. This README assumes it is accessible via python, but other aliases, such as python3, are fine.
• Python >= 3.8 seems to have problems with pywin32, it's probably best to stick to Python 3.7

There is a quick YouTube video available.

1. Install the requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Open OneNote (not the "OneNote for Windows 10" app) and ensure the notebook you'd like to convert is open. If you have synchronization with OneDrive enabled, wait for a few moments until all notebooks are synchronized. If you later get an error message, try to run OneNote as administrator.

3. Run the script as administrator in PowerShell.

python convert.py

4. Find your converted notes in ~/Desktop/OneNoteExport. You're free to do what you want with the notes now - commit them to Git, open them in obsidian, or whatever.
