Create, edit, share and publish scientific documents.



## Overview



`curvenote` is an open source library and command line interface (CLI) to create share and publish technical documents.



- Write papers and reports in Markdown and Jupyter ([docs](https://curvenote.com/docs/cli))

- Create and share interactive websites ([docs](https://curvenote.com/docs/web))

- Export to Word, LaTeX, and PDF with any [template](https://github.com/curvenote/templates) ([docs](https://curvenote.com/docs/export))



In addition to being completely local, `curvenote` can optionally sync content to  to allow you to work with collaborators who enjoy WYSIWYG editing, commenting & real time collaboration for technical documents.



## Get Started



Curvenote is available through Node and NPM. Unless you already have this on your system you will have to [install NodeJS](https://curvenote.com/docs/cli/installing-prerequisites). See [full install instructions](https://curvenote.com/docs/cli/installing) in the docs!



```bash

npm install -g curvenote

curvenote init

curvenote start

curvenote deploy

```

## Built with Curvenote



Curvenote allows you to easily create, edit, and publish content to the web as a fast, optimized site with interactive citations, cross-referencing, math, and dynamic figures from Jupyter Notebooks.



Curvenote can be used to create all sorts of open-access content, click the links below to see some examples!



- [Courses](https://geosci-inversion.curve.space) & [books](https://climasoma.curve.space/)

- [Seminar](https://seminars.simpeg.xyz/) & [conference](https://transform.softwareunderground.org/) websites

- [Blogs](https://curvenote.com/blog) & [technical websites](https://www.stevejpurves.com/blog)

- [Papers](https://www.stevejpurves.com/la-palma-earthquakes) & [reports](https://www.stevejpurves.com/computational-finance)

- [Documentation](http://curvenote.com/docs)

- [Sharing Jupyter Notebooks](https://jarmitage.curve.space/)



### Interactive and Linked



The default website you create can have interactive Jupyter Notebook features, and live-preview of cross-references and citations.

[Interactive Papers](https://www.stevejpurves.com/la-palma-earthquakes/interactive-timelines-altair) with Jupyter Notebooks and interactive visualizations.

These interactive scientific sites can be easily deployed on a hosting service called [curve.space](https://curve.space) or can also be hosted on your own custom domain.



## Work locally with Live Reload



The client library is entirely local, and rebuilds in ~50ms for most projects. Meaning you can preview your content as you are writing!

## Direct export from Curvenote



First login, see [authorization docs](https://curvenote.com/docs/cli/authorization) to get an API token.



```bash

curvenote token set

> YOUR_API_TOKEN

```



Then you can directly export your curvenote documents to:



- Microsoft Word (.docx)

- Markdown (.md) - using MyST

- LaTeX (.tex)

- PDF (.pdf)



```bash

curvenote export docx https://curvenote.com/@curvenote/blog/communicating-science communicating-science.docx

curvenote export md https://curvenote.com/@curvenote/blog/version-control-for-scientists version-control.md

curvenote export tex https://curvenote.com/@curvenote/blog/version-control-for-scientists version-control.tex -template plain_latex

curvenote export pdf https://curvenote.com/@curvenote/blog/version-control-for-scientists version-control.pdf -template arxiv_nips

```



## LaTeX and PDF Dependencies



Exporting to:



- LaTeX (`latex`|`tex`) with a template option specified

- or to PDF



Requires the [jtex](https://pypi.org/project/jtex/) python package to be installed and available on the user's `PATH`.



With python 3.7 or greater installed, install `jtex` via pip:



```bash

python -m pip install jtex

```



# Development



All dependencies for `curvenote` are included in this repository (a monorepo!).



## What's inside?

**Apps:**



- `curvenote`: the Curvenote command line interface (CLI)

- `curvespace`: the web-experience for Curvenote sites, using Remix



**Packages:**



- `ui-providers`: React providers for references and site configuration

- `myst-to-react`: expose MyST content as an article, built with React

- `site`: components and utilities for building React and Remix sites
