In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps required to install Draw.io on Manjaro using the official package available on the Draw.io website.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
Once the package has finished downloading, open the terminal on your Manjaro system.
Navigate to the directory where the package was downloaded, for example:
cd Downloads/
Extract the package using the following command:
tar -xvf drawio-x.x.x.x.tar.gz
Replace "x.x.x.x" with the version number of the package you downloaded.
Navigate to the extracted package directory:
cd drawio-x.x.x.x/
Replace "x.x.x.x" with the version number of the package you downloaded.
Run the following command to start Draw.io:
./drawio
Draw.io should open in a new window.
Right-click on the desktop and select "Create New -> Launcher Here".
In the dialog box, provide a name for the launcher, for example, "Draw.io".
In the "Command" field, enter the following:
/path/to/drawio-x.x.x.x/drawio
Replace "/path/to/" with the actual path to the directory where Draw.io was extracted, and "x.x.x.x" with the version number of the package you downloaded.
Click "OK" to save the launcher.
You have successfully installed Draw.io on Manjaro and created a desktop shortcut for easy access to the application. Happy diagramming!
