IPython 离线安装 MathJax

MathJax

The IPython notebook uses the MathJax Javascript library for rendering LaTeX in web browsers. Because MathJax is large, we don’t include it with IPython. Normally IPython will load MathJax from a CDN, but if you have a slow network connection, or want to use LaTeX without an internet connection at all, you can install MathJax locally.

Install online

A quick and easy method is to install it from a python session:

from IPython.external.mathjax import install_mathjax
install_mathjax()

Install offline

If you need tighter configuration control, you can download your own copy of MathJax from http://www.mathjax.org/download/ - use the MathJax-2.0 link. When you have the file stored locally, install it with:

python -m IPython.external.mathjax /path/to/source/mathjax-MathJax-v2.0-20-g07669ac.zip

Configure path

For unusual needs, IPython can tell you what directory it wants to find MathJax in:

python -m IPython.external.mathjax -d /some/other/mathjax

By default Mathjax will be installed in your ipython profile directory, but you can make system wide install, please refer to the documentation and helper function of IPython.external.mathjax
