Convert plist from different format: xml, json, binary, openStep

plistconvert

Install

Just download from release if any, or build it (and move it to PATH)

On linux

Some dependencies lib must be installed if not the static library

so if you have not already added the swiftlang repo:

curl -s https://archive.swiftlang.xyz/install.sh | sudo bash

then you can install just the minimum package slim

sudo apt install swiftlang-slim
