I'm really confused about how to use plugins. #12

The help doc didn't help very much here.

I added this into my book.json:

{
   plugins: ["katex"]
}

but the build failed, so I changed into this:

{
    "plugins": ["katex"]
}

again it did not work, telling me that

info: load plugin katex ....ERROR
Error: Error loading plugins: katex. Run 'gitbook install' to install plugins from NPM.

So what exactly should I be doing to enable MathJax for my doc?

Thanks again for this great system.

This plugin is mathjax, not katex.

You did the right thing, but like the message is telling you, you need to run gitbook install to download plugins.
