Editing

Recommend enable Windows feature Windows Subsystem for Linux and then the Ubuntu image from Microsoft Store.

In VS Code, you can install the plugins:

Remote - WSL Markdown Preview Enhanced Markdown Preview Mermaid

To see what you are doing as you work.

Quick start

git clone

install yarn, node and npm

run yarn inside the git repository to download all Node dependencies.

Installing the remark-mermaid plugin

You don't need to re-do this. But here are my configuration notes:

to create mermaid graphs, use remark-mermaid plugin. This should install when you run yarn

To build on your environment, you need to install dependencies for chrome-headless

sudo apt-get install gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget

How I enabled the mermaid plugin (don't need to re-do this step)

edit docusaurus.config.js At top of file, add const mermaid = require('remark-mermaid')

In the "docs" block, add remarkPlugins: [mermaid], See https://mdxjs.com/advanced/plugins which explains how remark plugins work. Not explained in Docusaurus documentation.
