README excerpt
# Livebook Livebook is a web application for writing interactive and collaborative code notebooks. It features: * Code notebooks with Markdown support and Code cells where Elixir code is evaluated on demand. * Rich code editor through CodeMirror: with support for autocompletion, inline documentation, code formatting, etc. * Interactive results via Kino: display Vega-Lite charts, tables, maps, and more. * Automation: use Smart cells to perform high-level tasks and write notebooks faster than ever. Query databases, plot charts, build maps, and more directly from Livebook's UI. * Reproducible: Livebook ensures your code runs in a predictable order, all the way down to package management. It also tracks your notebook state, annotating which parts are stale. * Collaboration: multiple users can work on the same notebook at once, no additional setup required. * Decentralized: Livebook is open-source and you can run it anywhere. The "Run in Livebook" badge makes it easy to import any Livebook into your own Livebook. * Versionable: notebooks are stored in the `.livemd` format, which is a subset of Markdown with support for diagrams via Mermaid and for mathematical formulas via KaTex. `.livemd` files can be shared and play well with version control. * Custom runtimes: when executing Elixir code, you can either start a fresh Elixir instance, connect to an existing node, or run it inside an existing Elixir project, with access to all of its modules and dependencies. This means Livebook can be a great tool to introspect and document existing projects too. ## Getting started Head out to the Install section of Livebook's website to get started. Once Livebook is up and running on your machine, **visit the "Learn" section** with introductory guides and documentation on several Livebook features. Here is a sneak peak of the "Welcome to Livebook" guide: There are more resources for those who are ready to dig deeper: * Our official documentation with in-depth guides * Our Integrations page covering the languages, data sources, and libraries that Livebook works with out-of-the-box * Our blog with news, posts, and screencasts ## Installation We provide several methods for running Livebook, pick the one that best fits your use case. ### Desktop app * Download the installer for Mac and Windows from our homepage * Latest stable builds: macOS (arm64), macOS (x64), Windows, Linux (arm64), Linux (x64) * Nightly builds: macOS (arm64), macOS (x64), Windows, Linux (arm64), Linux (x64) * Builds for particular Livebook version are available on our GitHub releases. ### Docker Running Livebook using Docker is another great option to run Livebook in case you don't have Elixir installed. [code] To deploy Livebook on your cloud platform, see our Docker Deployment guide. For CUDA support, see images with the "cuda" tag. To try out features from the main branch you can alternatively use the `ghcr.io/livebook-dev/livebook:nightly` image. See Livebook images.
