In this case, you will need to run\nit in `sudo` mode.\n\nIf conversion is successful, you'll see a message like this:\n\n`Conversion finished: 12 succeeded, 0 skipped, 0 failed. Total notes: 12`\n\n...and your exported notes will be in the `markdown-exports/` directory:\n\n\u003cimg src=\"img/2-after.png\" width=\"600\" /\u003e\n\n\n## Bugs\n\nI used this script to convert several dozen Evernote notebooks totalling\nover 3,000 notes.  All notes and attachments were exported successfully.\n\nThe only issue I had is that some of the paths to the attachments from the notes\nweren't quite right, and required me to edit the markdown to correct them.\nI personally considered it to be a minor inconvenience given how easy it was to\nget so many notes safely out of Evernote.\n\n\n## Further Reading\n\nYou can read about how I used this script to migrate 3,000 Evernotes from Evernote to Obsidian\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.dmuth.org/migrating-from-evernote-to-obisidian/\"\u003eover on my blog\u003c/a\u003e\nor \u003ca href=\"https://dmuth.medium.com/migrating-your-notes-from-evernote-to-obsidian-dcdbf9ffb4f0\"\u003eon Medium\u003c/a\u003e.\n\n\n## Who built this? / Contact\n\nMy name is Douglas Muth, and I am a software engineer in Philadelphia, PA.\n\nThere are several ways to get in touch with me:\n- Email to doug.muth AT gmail DOT com or dmuth AT dmuth DOT org\n- [Facebook](https://facebook.com/dmuth) and [Twitter](http://twitter.com/dmuth)\n- [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/dmuth)\n\nFeel free to reach out to me if you have any comments, suggestions, or bug reports.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdmuth%2Fevernote-to-obsidian","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdmuth%2Fevernote-to-obsidian","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdmuth%2Fevernote-to-obsidian/lists"}
