Using python 3 and pip:

> pip install scruffy    
Collecting scruffy
  Using cached scruffy-0.3.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    You need dot [graphviz] binary for this software to work
    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-884juv_k\scruffy

Graphviz install from https://chocolatey.org/packages/Graphviz

Unfortunately you cannot. If you find a way to make this work pull requests are welcome but I don't use Windows for development myself so I can't help with this.

This tool is really great, but has many dependencies which are very tricky to install. I suggest to provide at least a wiki page with detailed installation instructions. Are the 3 of them indispensable?

I created a Visual Studio Code plugin (https://github.com/jaime-olivares/vscode-yuml), tested in OSX and Windows, and would love to make it work offline (without invoking yuml.me), but I think it won't have real use if there is not a way to install the dependencies in an automated way.
