For alternative ways to install pandoc, see below under the heading for your operating system.
Here are the steps to install TeX Live first and then SW without the TeX Live install: It may be necessary to disable any antivirus software. If you are behind a firewall, this may cause problems and prevent using the over the network TeX Live installation (see the note below).
Free Benito van der Zander Mac Version 2.12.16 Full Specs. OS X Yosemite OS X Mavericks OS X Mountain Lion. TeX previewer with supplemental TeXLive/teTeX distribution. TeX Live 2020 Release (For Intel, High Sierra through Catalina) TeX Users Group (TUG) and MacTeX TeXnical working group. TeXShop is distributed under the GPL public license, GPLv2, and thus free. TeXShop (v 4.44) requires Mac OS X 10.10 or later TeXShop (v 2.47) requires Mac OS.
Windows
There is a package installer at pandoc's download page. This will install pandoc, replacing older versions, and update your path to include the directory where pandoc's binaries are installed.
If you prefer not to use the msi installer, we also provide a zip file that contains pandoc's binaries and documentation. Simply unzip this file and move the binaries to a directory of your choice.
Alternatively, you can install pandoc using Chocolatey:
Chocolatey can also install other software that integrates with Pandoc. For example, to install rsvg-convert
(from librsvg, covering formats without SVG support), Python (to use Pandoc filters), and MiKTeX (to typeset PDFs with LaTeX):
By default, Pandoc creates PDFs using LaTeX. We recommend installing it via MiKTeX.
macOS
There is a package installer at pandoc's download page. If you later want to uninstall the package, you can do so by downloading this script and running it with perl uninstall-pandoc.pl
.
Alternatively, you can install pandoc using Homebrew:
To include pandoc's citation parser:
![For For](https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-common/tlcockpit-packages.png)
Homebrew can also install other software that integrates with Pandoc. For example, to install librsvg (its rsvg-convert
covers formats without SVG support), Python (to use Pandoc filters), and BasicTeX (to typeset PDFs with LaTeX):
Note: On unsupported versions of macOS (more than three releases old), Homebrew installs from source, which takes additional time and disk space for the ghc
compiler and dependent Haskell libraries.
We also provide a zip file containing the binaries and man pages, for those who prefer not to use the installer. Simply unzip the file and move the binaries and man pages to whatever directory you like.
By default, Pandoc creates PDFs using LaTeX. Because a full MacTeX installation uses four gigabytes of disk space, we recommend BasicTeX or TinyTeX and using the tlmgr
tool to install additional packages as needed. If you receive errors warning of fonts not found:
Linux
Check whether the pandoc version in your package manager is not outdated. Pandoc is in the Debian, Ubuntu, Slackware, Arch, Fedora, NiXOS, openSUSE, gentoo and Void repositories.
To get the latest release, we provide a binary package for amd64 architecture on the download page.
This provides both pandoc
and pandoc-citeproc
. The executables are statically linked and have no dynamic dependencies or dependencies on external data files. Note: because of the static linking, the pandoc binary from this package cannot use lua filters that require external lua modules written in C.
Both a tarball and a deb installer are provided. To install the deb:
where $DEB
is the path to the downloaded deb. This will install the pandoc
and pandoc-citeproc
executables and man pages.
If you use an RPM-based distro, you may be able to install the deb from our download page using alien
.
On any distro, you may install from the tarball into $DEST
(say, /usr/local/
or $HOME/.local
) by doing
where $TGZ
is the path to the downloaded zipped tarball. For Pandoc versions before 2.0, which don't provide a tarball, try instead
You can also install from source, using the instructions below under Compiling from source. Note that most distros have the Haskell platform in their package repositories. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu, you can install it with apt-get install haskell-platform
.
![For For](https://mac-cdn.softpedia.com/screenshots/MacTeX_1.png)
For PDF output, you'll need LaTeX. We recommend installing TeX Live via your package manager. (On Debian/Ubuntu, apt-get install texlive
.)
Mactex Mac Os Catalina
Chrome OS
On Chrome OS, pandoc can be installed using the chromebrew package manager with the command:
This will automatically build and configure pandoc for the specific device you are using.
BSD
Pandoc is in the NetBSD and FreeBSD ports repositories.
Docker
The official Docker images for pandoc can be found at https://github.com/pandoc/dockerfiles and at dockerhub.
The pandoc/core image contains pandoc
and pandoc-citeproc
.
The pandoc/latex image also contains the minimal LaTeX installation needed to produce PDFs using pandoc.
To run pandoc using Docker, converting README.md
to README.pdf
:
GitHub Actions
Pandoc can be run through GitHub Actions. For some examples, see https://github.com/pandoc/pandoc-action-example.
Compiling from source
If for some reason a binary package is not available for your platform, or if you want to hack on pandoc or use a non-released version, you can install from source.
Getting the pandoc source code
Source tarballs can be found at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc. For example, to fetch the source for version 1.17.0.3:
Or you can fetch the development code by cloning the repository:
Note: there may be times when the development code is broken or depends on other libraries which must be installed separately. Unless you really know what you're doing, install the last released version.
Quick stack method
The easiest way to build pandoc from source is to use stack:
Install stack. Note that Pandoc requires stack >= 1.7.0.
Change to the pandoc source directory and issue the following commands:
stack setup
will automatically download the ghc compiler if you don't have it.stack install
will install thepandoc
executable into~/.local/bin
, which you should add to yourPATH
. This process will take a while, and will consume a considerable amount of disk space.
Quick cabal method
Install the Haskell platform. This will give you GHC and the cabal-install build tool. Note that pandoc requires GHC >= 7.10 and cabal >= 2.0.
Update your package database:
Check your cabal version with
If you have a version less than 2.0, install the latest with:
Adobe air app for mac. Use
cabal
to install pandoc and its dependencies:This procedure will install the released version of pandoc, which will be downloaded automatically from HackageDB.
If you want to install a modified or development version of pandoc instead, switch to the source directory and do as above, but without the ‘pandoc':
Make sure the
$CABALDIR/bin
directory is in your path. You should now be able to runpandoc
:If you want to process citations with pandoc, you will also need to install a separate package,
pandoc-citeproc
. This can be installed using cabal:By default
pandoc-citeproc
uses the 'i;unicode-casemap' method to sort bibliography entries (RFC 5051). If you would like to use the locale-sensitive unicode collation algorithm instead, specify theunicode_collation
flag:Note that this requires the
text-icu
library, which in turn depends on the C libraryicu4c
. Installation directions vary by platform. Here is how it might work on macOS with Homebrew:The
pandoc.1
man page will be installed automatically. cabal shows you where it is installed: you may need to set yourMANPATH
accordingly. IfMANUAL.txt
has been modified, the man page can be rebuilt:make man/pandoc.1
.The
pandoc-citeproc.1
man page will also be installed automatically.
Custom cabal method
This is a step-by-step procedure that offers maximal control over the build and installation. Most users should use the quick install, but this information may be of use to packagers. For more details, see the Cabal User's Guide. These instructions assume that the pandoc source directory is your working directory. You will need cabal version 2.0 or higher.

Install dependencies: in addition to the Haskell platform, you will need a number of additional libraries. You can install them all with
Configure:
All of the options have sensible defaults that can be overridden as needed.
FLAGSPEC
is a list of Cabal configuration flags, optionally preceded by a-
(to force the flag tofalse
), and separated by spaces. Pandoc's flags include:embed_data_files
: embed all data files into the binary (default no). This is helpful if you want to create a relocatable binary.https
: enable support for downloading resources over https (using thehttp-client
andhttp-client-tls
libraries).

.Register pandoc as a GHC package:
Package managers may want to use the
--gen-script
option to generate a script that can be run to register the package at install time.
Creating a relocatable binary
It is possible to compile pandoc such that the data files pandoc uses are embedded in the binary. The resulting binary can be run from any directory and is completely self-contained. With cabal, add -fembed_data_files
to the cabal configure
or cabal install
commands.

To run particular tests (pattern-matching on their names), use the -p
option:
Or with stack:
It is often helpful to add -j4
(run tests in parallel) and --hide-successes
(don't clutter output with successes) to the test arguments as well.
If you add a new feature to pandoc, please add tests as well, following the pattern of the existing tests. The test suite code is in test/test-pandoc.hs
. If you are adding a new reader or writer, it is probably easiest to add some data files to the test
directory, and modify test/Tests/Old.hs
. Otherwise, it is better to modify the module under the test/Tests
hierarchy corresponding to the pandoc module you are changing.

TeX Live
TeX Live is intended to be a straightforward way to get up andrunning with the TeX document production system. Itprovides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors ofUnix, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and alsoWindows. It includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages,and fonts that are free software, including support for many languagesaround the world. Many operating systems provideit via their own distributions.
- How to acquire TeX Live:download, on DVD, other methods.
- Quick install for Unix; installation and release notes for Windows; for MacOSX, see the MacTeX distribution.
- Documentation.
- Contact and mailing lists.
- Known issues and highlights of changes in the current release (details for LuaTeX, pdfTeX, XeTeX).
- Portable (USB and DVD) usage of TeX Live.
- Installing/updating packages after installation and full upgrade from previous years.
- TeX Live licensing, and integration with operating system distributions.
- Development source repository, and building the sources.
- How you can help.
- Current release: TeX Live 2020 is available over the Internet and (after production) on DVD. It was released on 10 April 2020, and ongoing updates are available.
- The GPG public key we use to sign our releases. (You can view the contents with gpg --show-keyring texlive.asc, or --list-options show-keyring depending on your gpg version.)
Some starting points for actually using TeX are in this introduction to the TeX world.
By the way, if you don't care for TeX Live's setup for whateverreason, the major (free software) alternative is MiKTeX, which also runs on GNU/Linux,macOS, and Windows.
