This repository contains a Laravel-based website that runs Markitdown to convert PDF files to Markdown format.
- Markitdown
- PHP8.2+ (if you're not using Laravel Herd, you're missing out!)
- Composer
First, follow the installation process of Markitdown. This repository works both with the binary format and with Docker. Your choice!
Install the project dependencies:
composer install
npm install
npm run build
Copy the contents of .env.example into .env:
cp .env.example .env
And generate an app key:
php artisan key:generate
Finally, run the migrations:
php artisan migrate
Now, you should be able to see the app in your browser. Run php artisan serve and check it out at http://localhost:8000
To connect Markitdown, you should set one of the following variables in your .env file:
MARKITDOWN_BINARY_PATH=
MARKITDOWN_DOCKER_BINARY_PATH=
The MARKITDOWN_BINARY_PATH should be set to the output you receive from which markitdown.
On the other hand, if you are using Docker, you should set MARKITDOWN_DOCKER_BINARY_PATH to the output you receive from which docker.
If MARKITDOWN_DOCKER_BINARY_PATH is set, it will use Docker. If not, it will try to use the binary.
