graph-vl is a binary visualization library for graph data structures, written in C++. It is used in many applications for graph visualization and analysis, and is freely available on GitHub. This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to installing graph-vl on Arch Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Arch Linux system:
First, clone the graph-vl repository from GitHub to your local machine by executing the following commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/verifid/graph-vl.git
$ cd graph-vl
Next, build and install graph-vl on your Arch Linux system. Run the following commands in the terminal:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
The make command may take a few minutes to complete, as it compiles several C++ source files. Once the installation is complete, you can use graph-vl in your applications by including the appropriate header files and linking against the graphvl library.
To verify that the installation was successful, you can compile and run the example program included in the examples directory of the graph-vl repository. Execute the following commands:
$ cd ../examples
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ ./example
If everything works correctly, you should see a window displaying a directed graph with several nodes and edges.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install graph-vl on your Arch Linux system. With graph-vl installed, you can create applications for graph visualization and analysis, and take advantage of the many features provided by this powerful library.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
