Purpose: Install the MyST command-line tools for building and converting documents.
Note: If you ran bash scripts/setup_env.sh in the ballpark repo, the MyST CLI (mystmd) was installed automatically via npm, and myst-parser and jupytext were installed in the Python venv. Use this workflow only if you need to install manually or troubleshoot.
myst --version
jupytext --version
If both commands print version numbers, you’re done.
Requires node/npm:
npm install -g mystmd
pip install myst-parser
pip install jupytext
npm: command not found: Install node first (brew install node on macOS, sudo apt install nodejs npm on Linux/WSL)myst installed but not found: Add npm’s global bin to PATH: export PATH="$(npm prefix -g)/bin:$PATH"
