Hi,  
Kindly let me know is there a way to export all rules into readable CSV or excel or PDF format?  
Or is there a way to convert .ndjson export format to CSV or excel?  
Thanks in advance.

Hi @sunith! Thanks for your question.

I'm not aware of a way to export rules to CSV or PDF, but there are several tools that can convert .ndjson files to CSV. Here is one that I found: [ndjson-to-csv - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ndjson-to-csv)

Let me know if this meets your needs!  
Madi

Hi Madi,

Thanks for sharing. I have a query it looks like there are few commands I need to run could you confirm where should I run this command to install ndjson-to-csv package is it on Linux? or python?
