Mermaid is a tool that allows you to create diagrams and flowcharts using a simple syntax. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Mermaid on Manjaro.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update the system packages. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update all the system packages to their latest versions.
Mermaid is built with Node.js, so we need to install it first. Run the following command to install Node.js:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
The installation process may take a few minutes, depending on your internet speed.
Now that we have Node.js installed, we can install Mermaid. Run the following command to install Mermaid:
sudo npm install -g mermaid
This command will install Mermaid globally, so you can use it from any directory in your system.
To verify that Mermaid is installed correctly, run the following command:
mermaid --version
This command will print the version of Mermaid installed on your system.
Now that Mermaid is installed, you can start creating diagrams and flowcharts. The easiest way to do this is to use the Mermaid Live Editor, which is a web-based tool that allows you to create diagrams and flowcharts using a simple syntax.
You can access the Mermaid Live Editor at https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mermaid on Manjaro. Now you can start using Mermaid to create diagrams and flowcharts.
