Installing the development version of pandoc

John MacFarlane edited this page Nov 25, 2015 · 22 revisions

If you want to live dangerously, you can install the still-in-progress pandoc (and pandoc-citeproc) from github. You'll need git and stack. Grab the stack binary that is appropriate for your platform and put it somewhere in your path.

Then:

git clone https://github.com/jgm/pandoc
cd pandoc
git submodule update --init
git clone https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-citeproc
stack install --test --install-ghc --stack-yaml stack.full.yaml

The stack install command will let you know where it put the binaries (pandoc and pandoc-citeproc). You may have to add this location (~/.local/bin, on linux and OSX systems) to your path.
