Running

If you do not intend to run locally, please have a look at the alternatives found in this overview.

Prerequisites

To run locally, the PlantUML jar (from PlantUML's download site) is needed. As described on the Getting started site, you will also need both Java and Graphviz installed on your machine.

Creating the diagrams

The easiest way is to just run the included python script (run.py). It checks for changes in the diagram files and only generates the new/changed ones. The PlantUML jar should be in the same directory.

python run.py

The generated diagrams are stored in the output folder.

To run PlantUML directly from the command line for one specific diagram, you can execute:

java -jar plantuml.jar diagram.txt
