Could not open input file: cli.php
I have enabled (uncommented) php on my Mac os X 10.6. As the Plex Export readme file says, I entered "cli.php" in the terminal command line. I get the following error: "Could not open input file: cli.php." Any ideas? Also, is there a preferred location for the Plex Export folder?  
  
Thank you!

try this after cd-ing to the directory where cli.php is located:  
  

```auto

<br />
$ php cli.php<br />

```

  
  
I guess you just missed the initial php command.
