Made by the cooperation of physicists and programmers. Driven by solving real-life cases in science ⚗️, math 🧮 and teaching 📚
written with love using freeware Wolfram Engine, JavaScript and WLX
WLJS Notebook Demonstration Project 🎉 A collection of various notebooks showcasing examples of how to use the Wolfram Language and the dynamic features of our frontend
Wolfram Language Introduction 🐺
Freeware implementation of Wolfram Language
Recommended Wolfram Engine: 13.3 or higher
All algorithms, functions, and other components of the Wolfram Language provided by the Wolfram Engine are the intellectual property of Wolfram Research, Inc.
Special thanks to our co-developer @KirillBelovTest (Wolfram Language Web Stack developer)

It supports dynamics, GUI building blocks, and powerful Mathematica syntax out of the box.
No more static graphics! Each primitive of Graphics/Graphics3D was recreated from scratch using d3.js and THREE.js libraries. Most native plotting functions of Mathematica are supported.
Write beautiful equations between lines of normal Wolfram Language expressions.
There is no need to lift your fingers from the keyboard 🎹
Alt+2,Cmd+2hide/show input cellCtrl+/make fraction on selectedCtrl+6make superscript on selectedCtrl+2make square root on selectedCtrl+-make subscript on selected
Or use toolboxes for complex structures such as integrals, sum, Greek letters
An entire notebook can be exported to a standalone .html file keeping all data inside. No internet dependency, no additional software is required for viewing a notebook
Even if you embed it to your blog page
still experimental feature
See some interactive examples from our blog page
Later, once opened using WLJS Notebook application, it is unpacked back to a normal editable format.
We deeply integrated ChatGPT, so that AI can have a read/write acccess to your notebook
Make a presentation right from the notebook.
Follows the mouse pointer and performs complex calculations
You do not need to target 60FPS, Javascript will interpolate the transitions smoothly
A toy-like fluid simulation is also possible
- Autocomplete (no LSP support for now)
- JavaScript cells deeply integrated with Wolfram Language
- HTML cells
- Markdown, KaTeX, Excalidraw
- Command palette with built-in widgets for assisting you in typing equations, capturing images and others
- Mermaid diagrams
WLJS Notebook runs locally and belongs to you (no cloud-based stuff involved). No internet connection is needed.

The freeware Wolfram Engine is required (Version 13.3 is preferable). Activation can be done later using WLJS Notebook App.
On macOS, if you have Homebrew installed, you can install it through Homebrew Cask:
brew install --cask wolfram-enginea side note for OSX/Linux users
If you face any issues, try to install avahi daemon and libuv.
Download from the releases section.
You can start it from the terminal like VSCode by typing
wljs .Works good
Works good. You might need to install libuv dependency
There will be a problem with starting related to a new AppArmor issue om Ubuntu 24.04. A temporal fix will be to lift the restrictions globally
sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0You can always bypass this complexity by using [console application instead](#Standalone Server) (see Standalone Server or Docker).
Works good.

Desktop application is just a wrapper with a built-in Chromium browser, context menu bindings and file associations. WLJS Notebook itself is a web-based application and can run using just wolframscript with no external services or any other programs.
Clone this repository and run:
wolframscript -f Scripts/start.wlsor on a specific hostname
wolframscript -f Scripts/start.wls host 0.0.0.0 http 8080 ws 8081 ws2 8082 docs 8085that will open an HTTP server on 8080 port with 8081, 8082 used for realtime communication and docs pages at 8085
- set the home folder (overrides settings)
wolframscript -f Scripts/start.wls folder "Demos"
- disable autolaunch of the evaluation kernel
wolframscript -f Scripts/start.wls noautolaunch True
- disable autotest
wolframscript -f Scripts/start.wls bypasstest True
You might need to install the following (for Image and some other graphics to work properly) libraries.

WLJS Notebook fully supports the native Wolfram Language paclets/packages system and cna be installed from the command palette (paste there a Github url to a package). It means most packages will work like in Mathematica with some limitations on dynamics (DynamicModule, Opener and etc).
