The package repository for Typst, where package authors submit their packages. The packages submitted here are available on Typst Universe.

A package is a collection of Typst files and assets that can be imported as a unit. A typst.toml manifest with metadata is required at the root of a package. Read more about the manifest format.

This repository contains a collection of published packages. Due to its early and experimental nature, all packages in this repository are scoped in a preview namespace. A package that is stored in packages/preview/{name}/{version} in this repository will become available in Typst as #import "@preview/{name}:{version}". You must always specify the full package version.

You can use template packages to create new Typst projects with the CLI with the typst init command or the web application by clicking the Start from template button.

If you want to submit your own package, you can follow our documentation on publishing packages that will guide you through the process and give you some tips.

The Typst compiler downloads packages from the preview namespace on-demand. Once used, they are cached in {cache-dir}/typst/packages/preview where {cache-dir} is

• $XDG_CACHE_HOME or ~/.cache on Linux
• ~/Library/Caches on macOS
• %LOCALAPPDATA% on Windows

Importing a cached package does not result in network access.

Want to install a package locally on your system without publishing it or experiment with it before publishing? You can store packages in {data-dir}/typst/packages/{namespace}/{name}/{version} to make them available locally on your system. Here, {data-dir} is

• $XDG_DATA_HOME or ~/.local/share on Linux
• ~/Library/Application Support on macOS
• %APPDATA% on Windows

You can create an arbitrary {namespace}. A good namespace for system-local packages is local. Using this namespace:

• Store a package in {data-dir}/typst/packages/local/mypkg/1.0.0
• Import from it with #import "@local/mypkg:1.0.0": *.

Packages in the data directory have precedence over ones in the cache directory.

Note that future iterations of Typst's package management may change/break this local setup.
