Vercel - Error: Could not load script: "file:///var/task/node_modules/mathjax/unpacked/jax/element/mml/jax.js?V=2.7.9" about mathjax-node

Bystander here. You're likely better off following one of the examples for MathJax v3 https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-demos-node/.

As Peter mentions, you probably want to switch to MathJax v3 for this. MathJax-node was a hack to get MathJax v2 to work in node applications, and is pretty clumsy in many respects. Version 3 was redesigned in order to allow it to work in node applications more naturally, and to give more control within the browser as well.

I am not familiar with vercel, but it appears that this is for creating web pages; mathJax-node should not be used in a browser, so unless this is running on the server to generate the pages, this is the wrong application of mathjax-node. With MathJax v3, you should be able to work in the browser or on the server with essentially the same code.

@dpvc I took a different approach and use Mathjax now in the front.

FYI - vercel is a serverless function hosting. It is often used for serving frontends, but it also runs node for backend functions.

Thank you for your help

@pkra I had a look at the repo. What is in the way that this is published to NPM? I maybe would give it another try to incorporate it into my project.

The demos repository is not in an npm module, but you could use a GitHub reference to load it directly from the repository.
