mpx cli npm package github license

Document conversion for scientific documents.

Install

npm install -g @mathpix/mpx-cli

Usage

Sign up at https://accounts.mathpix.com and then run mpx login which will ask for your Mathpix email and password then save an authorization token to be used for any commands that require connecting to our servers such as digitizing PDF files or converting Markdown to docx or pdf files.

mpx login

Alternatively you can use a Mathpix API account by creating an API key from https://accounts.mathpix.com/ocr-api and then set the API key as an environment variable MATHPIX_OCR_API_KEY:

export MATHPIX_OCR_API_KEY=...

Or save it permanently in the mpx config file:

mpx set-api-key ...
# This will save the key in a file at
# ~/.mpx/config on Linux, macOS, or Unix
# C:\Users\USERNAME\.mpx\config on Windows

To digitize PDF's to editable Mathpix Markdown, docx, html or tex.zip:

mpx convert input-file.pdf output-file.mmd
mpx convert input-file.pdf output-file.docx
mpx convert input-file.pdf output-file.tex
mpx convert input-file.pdf output-file.html

To digitize images to editable Mathpix Markdown, docx, html or tex.zip:

mpx convert input-file.png output-file.mmd
mpx convert input-file.png output-file.docx
mpx convert input-file.jpeg output-file.tex
mpx convert input-file.jpeg output-file.html

You can also compile Markdown files without using Mathpix OCR:

mpx convert input-file.mmd output-file.docx
mpx convert input-file.mmd output-file.tex
mpx convert input-file.mmd output-file.html
mpx convert input-file.mmd output-file.pdf
mpx convert input-file.mmd output-file.pdf --pdf-method html

To view mmd files rendered into html on a local server:

mpx serve ./input-dir
mpx serve ./input-dir/example.mmd

To build a directory of mmd files into a static html site:

mpx build ./input-dir ./output-dir

The cli has built in --help that will show all commands and flags:

$ mpx --help
