Build the Guide

To build:

$ make {html|epub|latexpdf}

Note: Diagrams are currently not built from source. Instead, pre-built image files are used directly, because there are issues with mermaid in CLI systems.

If you want to build the diagrams from source, you need mermaid-cli to be installed on your system.

$ npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

You can then use mmdc to build/update single diagram files like this:

mmdc --theme default --width 1600 --backgroundColor transparent -i ecosystem_dia.md -o ecosystem_dia.svg
