I’m checking the repo’s current CLI/package usage so I can give you a uvx command that matches how Marker is actually meant to be run today.

Use:

uvx --from marker-pdf marker_single /path/to/file.pdf --output_format markdown --output_dir ./marker_out

That matches the repo’s current package name (marker-pdf) and single-file CLI (marker_single), and markdown is one of the supported output formats. GitHub+1

A slightly more practical version is:

Bashuvx --from marker-pdf marker_single /path/to/file.pdf --output_format markdown --output_dir ./marker_out

Useful variants:

Bash# force OCR
uvx --from marker-pdf marker_single input.pdf --output_format markdown --force_ocr

# only selected pages
uvx --from marker-pdf marker_single input.pdf --output_format markdown --page_range "0,5-10"

# better accuracy with LLM mode
uvx --from marker-pdf marker_single input.pdf --output_format markdown --use_llm

Marker’s README also notes Python 3.10+ and PyTorch are needed. GitHub

For non-PDF formats, use the full extra:

Bashuvx --from 'marker-pdf[full]' marker_single /path/to/file.docx --output_format markdown

The repo says the [full] extra is needed for documents other than PDFs. GitHub

If you want, I can also give you a tiny shell function like pdf2md input.pdf using uvx.
