In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Mermaid by following a few simple steps. Mermaid is a JavaScript library for generating diagrams and flowcharts using Markdown.
First, you need to install Node.js and NPM on your POP! OS system. You can install both of these packages by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
Now, we can install Mermaid. You can install it globally on your system using NPM with the following command:
sudo npm install -g mermaid
To check if Mermaid has been successfully installed, run the following command in the terminal:
mermaid --version
This will show you the installed version of Mermaid.
You can now use Mermaid to generate diagrams and flowcharts in your Markdown documents.
To generate a simple diagram, create a new Markdown file and add the following code:
```mermaid
graph LR
A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge)
B --> C{Decision}
C -->|One| D[Result one]
C -->|Two| E[Result two]
Save the file and open it in a Markdown viewer that supports Mermaid.
Congratulations! You have installed Mermaid on your POP! OS system and are now able to generate diagrams and flowcharts using Markdown.
