Diagrams.net, formerly known as Draw.io, is a free, online diagramming software. It is the perfect tool for creating flowcharts, process diagrams, and other visual representations of your ideas.
In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Diagrams.net on Arch Linux.
Open your terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T, or by clicking the terminal icon on your desktop.
Before installing any new software, it's always a good idea to update your system.
sudo pacman -Syu
Diagrams.net requires Java to run. To install Java on Arch Linux, run the following command in your terminal.
sudo pacman -S jre-openjdk
Now, let's download and extract Diagrams.net. Open your browser and go to the Diagrams.net website: https://app.diagrams.net/
Click on the "Download" button and select the "Linux" option.
In your terminal, navigate to your downloads folder and extract the downloaded file.
cd ~/Downloads
tar xzf diagrams-x.x.x.tar.gz
(replace x.x.x with the version number of the file you downloaded)
To run Diagrams.net, navigate to the extracted folder and run the "diagrams" script.
cd diagrams-x.x.x
./diagrams
(replace x.x.x with the version number of the extracted folder)
If you see a warning message about a missing library, you can install it with the following command:
sudo pacman -S libgnome-keyring
Once the library is installed, try running Diagrams.net again.
That's it! You have successfully installed Diagrams.net on Arch Linux. Open the application and start creating your diagrams!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
