Upgrading to Moodle 3.1

I am trying to install Unoconv in a Windows 7 Professional. The Page with the steps says:


Installing unoconv on Windows

Download and install LibreOffice for windows.

Download the latest version of the unoconv script from https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv/releases.

Rename the downloaded script to C:\unoconv\unoconv.py

Create a batch file C:\unoconv\unoconv.bat with these contents:

@cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program"
@"python-core-3.3.0\bin\python.exe" unoconv.py %* 

When you go to this url: https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv/releases

You have a zip or a tar.gz files. When you download the zip file (latest version) and extract the files, you get a bunch of files. Do I need to create the folder unoconv under C:? The instructions are confusing.

When you download the zip file - you will see it contains a folder (unoconv-0.7) with some files in it. One of those files is named unoconv (with no extension). This file is the unoconv script and all the other files are just documentation etc. This is the file you should rename to "C:\unoconv\unoconv.py".

One more thing that I noticed. When I created the bash script:

@cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program"

@"python-core-3.3.0\bin\python.exe" C:\unoconv\unoconv.py %* 


I had to put the path to the unoconv.py file.
