Use system wide plantuml installation #6

Closed rkrug closed 4 years ago

rkrug commented 5 years ago

Check if it is possible to use a systemwide plantuml installation.

Considerations:

plantuml command versus `plantuml.jar - being able to use both
to variables in internal environment

possible steps

check what x <- system2(command = "plantuml", args = "-version", stdout = TRUE) returns
if it returns plantuml info, use the installed plantuml, if not, download the new one when calling plantuml_run()

Could be done when starting the package, and the path to the plantuml command could be set in an environment variable.

This will be included in v0.4 and is already in the dev branch, by specifying the location and name of the plantuml.jar file using setPlantumlOptions()
