Get started¶

This section covers how to get started with the MyST-NB Sphinx extension. The Sphinx extension allows you to read markdown (.md) and Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) files into your Sphinx site. It also enables you to write MyST Markdown in your pages.

Install and activate¶

To install myst-nb, do the following:

Install myst-nb with the following command:
```
pip install myst-nb
```
Activate the myst_nb extension in your Sphinx site by adding it to your list of Sphinx extensions in conf.py:
```
extensions = [
    ...,
    "myst_nb"
]
```

Once you do this, MyST-NB will now parse both markdown (.md) and Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) into your Sphinx site.
