Mermaid is a JavaScript library for generating diagrams and flowcharts using a simple markup syntax. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install Mermaid on your Fedora Server.
To install Node.js and npm on your Fedora Server, run the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs npm
This command will install the latest version of Node.js and npm package manager.
Mermaid can be installed via npm. Run the below command in a terminal window to install Mermaid:
sudo npm install -g mermaid
This will install the Mermaid package globally, making it available to all users on the system.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify by running the following command:
mermaid --version
This will output the version of Mermaid installed on your system.
Now, you can create Mermaid diagrams using the simple syntax and generate diagrams in PNG, SVG, PDF, or HTML format from the command line.
For example, the following command creates a diagram using the Mermaid syntax and generates a SVG image file:
echo "graph LR; A-->B; A-->C; B-->D; C-->D;" | mermaid -p > diagram.svg
This command will generate a SVG image file named "diagram.svg" in the current directory.
In this tutorial, we have covered how to install Mermaid on your Fedora Server and verify its installation. Now you should be able to create diagrams using Mermaid syntax and generate image files in various formats. Enjoy!
