To install Local Notion simply download a suitable platform distribution and unzip it to a temporary folder. Please read the README.txt which provides platform specific instructions or follow the guides below.

ℹ️ We recommend you run the installer script found in your distributable to simplify this process. Alternatively you can simply just copy the localnotion executable binary to a folder on your local machine and ensure your PATH environment variables maps to it. Consult the README.txt for specific instructions there.

Easy Method

  1. Unzip all the files download into a temporary folder.
  2. Open explorer and run the "install.bat" file.

Manual Method

  4. Make localnotion app an executable with the following command
    
    sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/localnotion
    
    
    															
ℹ️ You have installed Local Notion. To test, open a new Command Prompt window and type localnotion. If the installation was successful you should see the CLI help screen. If you see "command not found" type of error, ensure that your PATH environment variable points to the installation folder. then something has gone wrong.
ℹ️ After installation, we recommend you review the 🆕 Getting Started guide to help you configure Notion.

4. Generating your Notion Integration token

Generating a Notion Integration token is a relatively simple procedure which you only need to do once. Follow these steps:

4.1 Open Notion Settings & Members

4.2 Select Connections and then Develop or manage integrations

4.3 Add a New Integration

4.4 Choose a name for your integration such as Local Notion

4.5 Scroll down and save your changes

4.6 Copy your Internal Integration token

ℹ️ Ensure that you keep note of your Notion Integration token (step 7) in secure manner. You will need this token to create your Local Notion repository.

5. Granting access to your content

In order for Local Notion to see your content you must grant your Integration permissions to it. To do this,

  1. Select the top-level Page or Database in your Workspace you want to grant permissions to.
  2. Select the “…” on top-right.
  3. Select Add Connections.
  4. Select the integration you created in Section 4 .
  5. Repeat 1 - 4 to all the top-level content you would like Local Notion to see.

Granting access to your content

ℹ️ When you grant this connection to a page, all child pages and databases will inherit this connection.
ℹ️ We recommended that you apply the above to all your top-level documents and databases.

6. Command-Line Interface

6.1 Usage

To use Local Notion, open Command Prompt (for Windows) or Terminal (for macOS/Linux) and navigate to a folder you would like to act as your Local Notion repository.

ℹ️ In the same way that Git command line assumes the current working directory to be the source repository, Local Notion assumes the current working directory to be the Local Notion repository.

In order to use Local Notion you must specify the command and the command arguments for whatever you want to do.

ℹ️ Ensure Local Notion is installed before attempting to use. See Install section for guidance.

ℹ️ When using Local Notion CLI keep the following points in mind:
  • Local Notion assumes the current working directory to be the Local Notion repository (similar to how Git works).
  • To get a list of all the commands run localnotion
  • To get help on a specific command run localnotion help <command-name>
  • Objects in Notion are always referenced by their GUID.
  • To get an object GUID, run a localnotion list command to enumerate all your Notion content.
  • If no contents are visible, ensure that you have added your Integration to the top-level pages and databases in your workspace.

6.2.6 sync

The sync command synchronizes your Local Notion repository with Notion. Synchronization works by continuously pulling content from Notion in a loop until the process is terminated (or aborted via CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK). This command is intended to be used by a background services/daemon.

ℹ️ For auto-backup scenarios, you would typically run a localnotion sync as a background service.
  • In Windows you could use a utility like nssm to setup a Windows Service.
  • In Linux you can setup a systemd service.
  • In macOS you can setup a launchd service.

Arguments:


  -f, --poll-frequency    (Default: 30) How often to poll Notion for changes

  -o, --objects           (Group: target) List of Notion objects to pull (i.e. pages, databases)

  -a, --all               (Group: target) Pull all objects from Notion workspace into repository

  -k, --key               Notion API key to use (overrides repository key if any)

  -p, --path              Path to Local Notion repository (default is current working dir)

  --render                (Default: true) Renders objects after pull

  --render-type           (Default: html) Type of rendering to use (HTML, PDF)

  --render-mode           (Default: readonly) Rendering mode for objects (ReadOnly, Editable)

  --fault-tolerant        (Default: true) Continues processing on failures

  --force                 Forces downloading of objects even if unchanged

  -v, --verbose           Display debug information in console output

  --help                  Display this help screen.

  --version               Display version information.
