mdBook | Create book from markdown files

There are multiple ways to install mdBook.
Binaries Binaries are available for download here. Make sure to put the path to the binary into your PATH.
From Crates.io This requires at least Rust 1.39 and Cargo to be installed. Once you have installed Rust, type the following in the terminal: cargo install mdbook This will download and compile mdBook for you, the only thing left to do is to add the Cargo bin directory to your PATH. Note for automatic deployment If you are using a script to do automatic deployments using Travis or another CI server, we recommend that you specify a semver version range for mdBook when you install it through your script! This will constrain the server to install the latest non-breaking version of mdBook and will prevent your books from failing to build because we released a new version. You can also disable default features to speed up compile time. Example: cargo install mdbook --no-default-features --features output --vers "^0.1.0"
From Git The version published to crates.io will ever so slightly be behind the version hosted here on GitHub. If you need the latest version you can build the git version of mdBook yourself. Cargo makes this super easy! cargo install --git https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook.git mdbook Again, make sure to add the Cargo bin directory to your PATH.
For Contributions If you want to contribute to mdBook you will have to clone the repository on your local machine: git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook.git cd into mdBook/ and run cargo build The resulting binary can be found in mdBook/target/debug/ under the name mdBook or mdBook.exe.
