### Using MathJax Components in node applications

To use MathJax components in a node application, install the `mathjax` package:

npm install mathjax@3
``` bash
npm install mathjax@3
```

(we are still making updates to version 2, so you should include `@3` since the latest chronological version may not be version 3).
(we are still making updates to version 2, so you should include `@3`
since the latest chronological version may not be version 3).

Then require `mathjax` within your application:

```js
``` javascript
require('mathjax').init({ ... }).then((MathJax) => { ... });
```

where the first `{ ... }` is a MathJax configuration, and the second
`{ ... }` is the code to run after MathJax has been loaded. E.g.

```js
``` javascript
require('mathjax').init({
loader: {
require: require,
paths: {mathjax: 'mathjax/es5'},
load: ['input/tex', 'output/svg']
}
loader: {load: ['input/tex', 'output/svg']}
}).then((MathJax) => {
const svg = MathJax.tex2svg('\\frac{1}{x^2-1}', {display: true});
console.log(MathJax.startup.adaptor.outerHTML(svg));
}).catch((err) => console.log(err.message));
```

**Note:** this technique is for node-based application only, not for
browser applications. This method sets up an alternative DOM
implementation, which you don't need in the browser, and tells MathJax
to use node's `require()` command to load external modules. This
setup will not work properly in the browser, even if you webpack it or
bundle it in other ways.

See the
[documentation](https//docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/index.html#server-nodejs)
and the [MathJax Node
Repository](https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-demos-node) for more details.
