Installing Jupyter

Nbconvert is part of the Jupyter ecosystem.

Supported Python versions


Currently Python 3.7-3.9 is supported and tested by nbconvert.

Installing nbconvert
Nbconvert is packaged for both pip and conda, so you can install it with:

pip install nbconvert

# OR

conda install nbconvert

The Miniconda and Miniforge distributions both provide a minimal conda installation.

 Important
To unlock its full capabilities, nbconvert requires Pandoc, TeX
(specifically, XeLaTeX) and
Pyppeteer. These must be installed separately.

Installing Pandoc
For converting markdown to formats other than HTML, nbconvert uses
Pandoc (1.12.1 or later).

To install pandoc on Linux, you can generally use your package manager:

sudo apt-get install pandoc

On other platforms, you can get pandoc from


their website.

Installing TeX
For converting notebooks to PDF (with --to pdf ), nbconvert makes use of LaTeX
and the XeTeX as
the rendering engine.

New in version 5.0: We use XeTeX as the rendering engine rather than pdfTeX (as
in earlier versions).
XeTeX can access fonts through native
operating system libraries, it has better support for
OpenType
formatted fonts and Unicode characters.

To install a complete TeX environment (including XeLaTeX and


the necessary supporting packages)
by hand can be tricky.
Fortunately, there are packages that make this much easier. These
packages
are specific to different operating systems:

Linux: TeX Live

E.g. on Debian or Ubuntu:


sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-latex-recommended

macOS (OS X): MacTeX.


Windows: MikTex

Because nbconvert depends on packages and fonts included in standard


TeX distributions, if you do
not have a complete installation, you
may not be able to use nbconvert’s standard tooling to
convert
notebooks to PDF.

Installing Chromium
For converting notebooks to PDF with --to webpdf , nbconvert requires the
Pyppeteer Chromium
automation library.

Pyppeteer makes use of a specific version of Chromium. If it does not find a suitable
installation of
the web browser, it can automatically download it if the --allow-chromium-download
flag is passed
to the command line.

To install a suitable version of pyppeteer, you can pip install nbconvert[webpdf] .

PDF conversion on a limited TeX environment

If you are only able to install a limited TeX environment, there are two main routes you could take
to convert to PDF:

1. Using TeX by hand

a. You could convert to .tex directly; this requires Pandoc.


b. edit the file to accord with your local environment
c. run xelatex directly.

2. Custom exporter
a. You could write a custom exporter
that takes your system’s limitations into account.
