To use some sinad commands and options will requiere some other tools to installed system-wide.
The command line argument --ttp (used to convert texts inside svgs documents to paths) will require Inkscape.
The command line argument --pdf will requiere two tool, one for converting a single slide to pdf, and another for concatenating all individual slides into a single pdf-file. For the first task, sinad can use the chromium web browser, or the wkhtmltopdf tool. For the second task, sinad can use qpdf or pdftk. You can setup the usage of one or another with a config file.
Each time sinad run will try to parse two config files. First one user-wide config file located in your home directory: ~/.config/sinad.conf, and then will try to read the second one, a sinad.conf in your current working directory. If both are present, the settings in the second (current work dir) one will prevale over the ones in the first one (user-wide one).
You can ask sinad to generate a sample config file with the command line argument --generate-conf. The generated config file will contain some comments (lines starting with #) with help.
