title: Getting started with Insiders
---
# Getting started with Insiders
Material for MkDocs Insiders is a compatible drop-in replacement for Material
for MkDocs, and can be installed similarly using [`pip`][pip],
[`docker`][docker] or [`git`][git].
[pip]: #with-pip
[docker]: #with-docker
[git]: #with-git
## Requirements
After you've been added to the list of collaborators and accepted the
repository invitation, the next step is to create a [personal access token] for
your GitHub account in order to access the Insiders repository programmatically
(from the command line or GitHub Actions workflows):
1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Click on [Generate a new token]
3. Enter a name and select the [`repo`][scopes] scope
4. Generate the token and store it in a safe place
[personal access token]: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token
[Generate a new token]: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
[scopes]: https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/scopes-for-oauth-apps#available-scopes
Some of the instructions below require that the `GH_TOKEN` environment
variable is set to the value of the personal access token you
generated in the previous step. Note that the personal access token
must be kept secret at all times, as it allows the owner to access
your private repositories.
## Installation
### with pip
Material for MkDocs Insiders can be installed with `pip`. You will
normally want to install the latest release but can also install a
specific older release or even the latest development version.
Make sure you have the `GH_TOKEN` variable set as instructed above.
=== "Specific release"
Pick the corresponding tag from the [list of tags] for the Insiders
repository. In the `pip` command below, replace the tag at the
end of the URL with the one you want.
``` sh
pip install git+https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git@9.4.2-insiders-4.42.0
```
=== "Latest"
``` sh
pip install git+https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git
```
[list of tags]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders/tags
### with docker
In case you want to use Material for MkDocs Insiders from within Docker, some
additional steps are necessary. While we cannot provide a hosted Docker image
for Insiders[^2], [GitHub Container Registry] allows for simple and
comfortable self-hosting:
1. [Fork the Insiders repository]
2. Enable [GitHub Actions] on your fork[^3]
3. Create a new personal access token[^4]
1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Click on [Generate a new token]
3. Enter a name and select the [`write:packages`][scopes] scope
4. Generate the token and store it in a safe place
4. Add a [GitHub Actions secret] on your fork
1. Set the name to `GHCR_TOKEN`
2. Set the value to the personal access token created in the previous step
5. [Create a new release] to build and publish the Docker image
6. Install [Pull App] on your fork to stay in-sync with upstream
The [`build`][build] workflow is automatically run when a new tag
(release) is created. When a new Insiders version is released on the upstream
repository, the [Pull App] will create a pull request with the changes and
pull in the new tag, which is picked up by the [`build`][build] workflow
that builds and publishes the Docker image automatically to your private
registry.
Now, you should be able to pull the Docker image from your private registry:
```
docker login -u ${GH_USERNAME} -p ${GHCR_TOKEN} ghcr.io
docker pull ghcr.io/${GH_USERNAME}/mkdocs-material-insiders
```
Should you wish to add additional plugins to the insiders container image, follow the steps
outlined in the [Getting Started guide](../getting-started.md#with-docker).
[^2]:
Earlier, Insiders provided a dedicated Docker image which was available to
all sponsors. On March 21, 2021, the image was deprecated for the reasons
outlined and discussed in #2442. It was removed on June 1, 2021.
[^3]:
When forking a repository, GitHub will disable all workflows. While this
is a reasonable default setting, you need to enable GitHub Actions to be
able to automatically build and publish a Docker image on
[GitHub Container Registry].
[^4]:
While you could just add the `write:packages` scope to the personal access
token created to access the Insiders repository, it's safer to create a
dedicated token which you'll only use for publishing the Docker image.
### with git
Of course, you can use Material for MkDocs Insiders directly from `git`:
```
git clone git@github.com:squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git mkdocs-material
```
The theme will reside in the folder `mkdocs-material/material`. When cloning
from `git`, the theme must be installed, so MkDocs can find the built-in
plugins:
```
pip install -e mkdocs-material
```
[GitHub Container Registry]: https://docs.github.com/en/packages/guides/about-github-container-registry
[Fork the Insiders repository]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders/fork
[GitHub Actions]: https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/disabling-or-limiting-github-actions-for-a-repository
[packages scope]: https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/scopes-for-oauth-apps#available-scopes
[GitHub Actions secret]: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-a-repository
[Create a new release]: https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/managing-releases-in-a-repository#creating-a-release
[Pull App]: https://github.com/apps/pull
[build]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml
## Built-in plugins
When you're using built-in plugins that are solely available via Insiders,
outside contributors won't be able to build your documentation project on their
local machine. This is the reason why we developed the [built-in group plugin]
that allows to conditionally load plugins:
``` yaml
plugins:
- search
- social
# CI=true mkdocs build
- group:
enabled: !ENV CI
plugins:
- git-revision-date-localized
- git-committers
# INSIDERS=true mkdocs build
- group:
enabled: !ENV INSIDERS
plugins:
- optimize
- privacy
```
Of course, you can also enable both groups with:
``` shell
CI=true INSIDERS=true mkdocs build
```
[built-in group plugin]: ../plugins/group.md
[configuration inheritance]: https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#configuration-inheritance

# How to upgrade
When upgrading Insiders, you should always check the version of Material for
MkDocs which makes up the first part of the version qualifier, e.g., Insiders
`4.x.x` is currently based on `9.x.x`:
```
9.x.x-insiders-4.x.x
```
If the major version increased, it's a good idea to consult the [upgrade
guide] and go through the steps to ensure your configuration is up to date and
all necessary changes have been made.
[upgrade guide]: ../upgrade.md
[list of tags]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders/tags
Depending on how you installed and what you want to upgrade to you
need to run different commands:
=== "pip upgrade to release"
If you installed Insiders via `pip` and you want to upgrade to a
specific release, pick the tag from the [list of tags] and replace
the tag at the end of the URL of the command given below:
```
pip install --upgrade git+https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git@9.4.2-insiders-4.42.0
```
=== "pip upgrade to latest development"
If you installed Insiders via `pip` and want to upgrade to the
latest development version, run:
```
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall git+https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git
```
The `--force-reinstall` option serves to make sure `pip` does, in fact,
install the latest development version, instead of deciding that nothing
is to be done based on the version numbers.
```
=== "git upgrade"
If you installed Insiders via `git`, you will first need to check
out the version you want to install into your workspace. After
this is done, you can run `pip` to install that version.
First, make sure that your local clone is up-to-date with the
upstream repository by running `git pull`.
You can look up the tags using `git tag --sort -refname` or you
can consult the [list of tags]. Then, checkout the tag you want to
use by replacing the one given in the command below (twice)and running
it from your workspace[^detached]:
[^detached]:
The `--detach` argument serves to tell `git` that you are ok to
have your workspace in the [detached head] state, which is
perfectly fine to have here.
[detached head]: https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/faq/detached-head-when-checkout-commit/
```
cd mkdocs-material
git checkout --detach tags/9.4.2-insiders-4.42.0
```
Now, change back to the parent directory in which your Git
repository lives and run `pip`:
```
cd ..
pip install -e mkdocs-material
```
