❤️ Support this open-source software
To help us develop this Academic CLI tool and the associated Wowchemy software sustainably under the MIT license, we ask all individuals and businesses that use it to help support its ongoing maintenance and development via sponsorship and contributing.
Support development of the Academic CLI:
- Create a Hugo website such as by using the Hugo Academic Starter template for the Wowchemy website builder
- Download your site from GitHub, installing Hugo and its dependencies
- Install Python 3.6+ if it’s not already installed
- Version control your website
- Ideally, version control your site with Git so that you can review the proposed changes and accept or reject them without risking breaking your site
- Otherwise, if not using Git, backup your site folder prior to running this tool
Open your Terminal or Command Prompt app and install the Academic CLI tool:
pip3 install -U academic
Alternatively, install Academic CLI v0.5.1 if you do not wish to install Hugo on your computer:
pip3 install academic==0.5.1
Or, help test the lastest development version:
pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/wowchemy/hugo-academic-cli.git
Use the cd
command to navigate to your website folder in the terminal:
cd <MY_WEBSITE_FOLDER>

Import publications:
Say we downloaded our publications from our reference manager, such as Zotero, to a file named my_publications.bib
within the website folder. We can import them into the default content/publication/
folder with:
academic import --bibtex my_publications.bib
Import publications to a specific folder (e.g. content/zh/publication
):
Say our site has multiple languages, we may want to output the publications to a specific folder with:
academic import --bibtex my_publications.bib --publication-dir content/zh/publication/
Optional arguments:
--publication-dir PUBLICATION_DIR
Folder to import publications to (defaults tocontent/publication
)--overwrite
Overwrite any existing publications in the output folder--normalize
Normalize tags by converting them to lowercase and capitalizing the first letter (e.g. "sciEnCE" -> "Science")--featured
Flag these publications as featured (to appear in Featured Publications widget)--verbose
or-v
Show verbose messages--help
Help
After importing publications, a full text PDF and image can be associated with each item and further details added via extra parameters.
Run a Hugo command (pass-through):
academic server
