I was recently evaluating Mermaid for one of my projects but I could not get mermaid-cli to work (one of 3rdparty npm libraries was broken) and I needed a way of automating graph creation.

Does anyone know if there is a decent tool similar to mermaid-cli allowing for command-line based generating PNG or SVG mermaid diagrams, but without having to install bazillion of NPM packages first?



PlantUML or perhaps a pre-packaged draw.io. (yes, it works offline)
