Actually this would be EXACTLY the result of the successful compilation.
There also should be a link to it: /usr/local/bin/

If this link exists, use it at command line:
% rtf2latex2e

Otherwise,
%cd /usr/local/bin
% sudo ln -s rtf2latex2e  /usr/local/rtf2latex2e/rtf2latex2e.bin
and enter admin password

Use it when open new terminal window

but read README in /usr/local/rtf2latex2e/

The "pref" folder has to be in the same folder as the rtf2latex2e application.
which could be a problem since if different users want to use
different preferences they
should have their own copies of the executable
