## Windows
- There is a package installer at pandoc's [download page].
This will install pandoc, replacing older versions, and
update your path to include the directory where pandoc's
binaries are installed.
- If you prefer not to use the msi installer, we also provide
a zip file that contains pandoc's binaries and
documentation. Simply unzip this file and move the binaries
to a directory of your choice.
- For PDF output, you'll also need to install LaTeX.
We recommend [MiKTeX](http://miktex.org/).
- If you'd prefer, you can extract the `pandoc` and `pandoc-citeproc`
executables from the MSI and copy them directly to any directory,
without running the installer. Here is an example showing how to
extract the executables from the pandoc-1.19.1 installer and copy
them to `C:\Utils\Console\`:
mkdir "%TEMP%\pandoc\"
start /wait msiexec.exe /a pandoc-1.19.1-windows.msi /qn targetdir="%TEMP%\pandoc\"
copy /y "%TEMP%\pandoc\pandoc.exe" C:\Utils\Console\
copy /y "%TEMP%\pandoc\pandoc-citeproc.exe" C:\Utils\Console\
rmdir /s /q "%TEMP%\pandoc\"
## macOS

by downloading [this script][uninstaller]
and running it with `perl uninstall-pandoc.pl`.
- It is possible to extract the pandoc and pandoc-citeproc
executables from the macOS pkg file, if you'd rather not run
the installer. To do this (for the version 1.19.1 package):
mkdir pandoc-extract
cd pandoc-extract
xar -x -f ../pandoc-2.0-macOS.pkg
cat pandoc.pkg/Payload | gunzip -dc | cpio -i
# executables are now in ./usr/bin/, man pages in ./usr/share/man
- We also provide a zip file containing the binaries and man
pages, for those who prefer not to use the installer. Simply
unzip the file and move the binaries and man pages to
whatever directory you like.
- For PDF output, you'll also need LaTeX. Because a full [MacTeX]
installation takes more than a gigabyte of disk space, we recommend
