PlantUML Installation Script

This project provides a Bash script to install PlantUML on Debian or Ubuntu systems. The script checks for necessary dependencies, installs them if needed, and ensures that the latest version of PlantUML is installed.

Prerequisites

Usage

1. Clone the repository or download the install-plantuml.sh script.
2. Make the script executable:

   ./install-plantuml.sh

What the Script Does

1. Checks the Linux distribution: Ensures the script is running on Debian or Ubuntu.
2. Checks if PlantUML is installed: If installed, prompts the user to uninstall it.
3. Checks if JRE is installed: If not, prompts the user to install it.
4. Checks if Graphviz is installed: If not, prompts the user to install it.
5. Checks the current version of PlantUML: If installed, retrieves the version number.
6. Fetches the latest version of PlantUML: From the GitHub API.
7. Compares versions: Downloads and installs the latest version if it is newer.
8. Creates a script to run PlantUML: Places it in /usr/bin/plantuml.

Notes

• The script requires sudo privileges to install packages and place files in system directories.
