# mermaid.cli
Command-line interface for [mermaid](https://mermaidjs.github.io/).
This CLI tool takes a mermaid definition file as input and generates svg/png/pdf file as output.
## Install locally
Some people are [having issue](https://github.com/mermaidjs/mermaid.cli/issues/15) installing this tool globally. Installing it locally is an alternative solution:
```
yarn add mermaid.cli
./node_modules/.bin/mmdc -h
```Or use NPM:
```
npm install mermaid.cli
./node_modules/.bin/mmdc -h
```## Install globally
❗️ We do **NOT** recommend installing it globally because both YARN and NPM could fail to install a command line tool globally properly due to weird permission issues.
```
yarn global add mermaid.cli
```Or
```
npm install -g mermaid.cli
```## Examples
```
mmdc -i input.mmd -o output.svg
``````
mmdc -i input.mmd -o output.png
``````
mmdc -i input.mmd -o output.pdf
``````
mmdc -i input.mmd -o output.svg -w 1024 -H 768

node:8281) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Failed to launch chrome!

(node:8191) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Failed to launch chrome!
[0416/091938.210735:FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(124)] No usable sandbox! Update your kernel or see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_suid_sandbox_development.md for more information on developing with the SUID sandbox. If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox.
```First and foremost, you should not run as root and you should upgrade your Linux kernel to latest version.
But if you don't want to follow the advice above and just want to disable sandbox, here you go:
Create a `puppeteer-config.json` file:
```json
{
"args": ["--no-sandbox"]
}
```And when you invoke `mmdc`:
```
mmdc -p puppeteer-config.json ...
```## For contributors
