Before you read

What you need to know

• Basic Hexo commands
• Working with the shell
• Using LaTeX

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Linux shell / macOS shell

Modifying the Hexo project

Installing dependencies

First go to the root directory of your Hexo project and run

shell
  npm install hexo-math hexo-renderer-pandoc #when you use npm
  # or
  yarn add hexo-math hexo-renderer-pandoc #when you use yarn

Editing the configuration file

yml
  #plugins
  markdown:
    plugins:
      ....
      - hexo-math #add this
  .....
  # add this MathJax configuration
  math:
    engine: 'mathjax'
    mathjax:
      src: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.4/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML

Installing the system command

You need to install the pandoc command to support LaTeX parsing

shell
  brew install pandoc #when you use macOS
  # or
  sudo apt-get install pandoc #when you use ubuntu

Trying the build

If you have already built the project, first go to the project root directory and clear the cache

shell
  hexo clean

Then run the normal Hexo generate and test

shell
  hexo g & hexo s

Test LaTeX, and you should get Figure 1.1
