Was anyone able to resolve this issue? A quick fix or hack or something? I'm getting this error and I need to use something to typeset math formula in Gitbook, and so far this plugin fails to install.

I'm having the same issue. Cannot install MathJax on MAC OSX.

[benanders]

I found if you use the beta version then it works fine on OSX. You use the term mathjax-beta instead of mathjax in your book.json. Not sure why the beta version works and the main release doesn't.

@GravityScore your way works only in gitbook install stage, when I run gitbook build it will still throw out an error:

Error: Error loading plugins: gitbook-plugin-mathjax-beta.
