I’ll introduce how to install PlantUML in Visual Studio Code (VSCode). (macOS Edition)

VSCode | Visual Studio Code

Background: Want to Use PlantUML in Local Environment

I wanted to use PlantUML, an open-source tool that lets you write UML with simple text files in my local environment, so I installed the VSCode extension.

Prerequisites: Install openjdk, graphviz

brew install openjdk
brew install graphviz

Install PlantUML Extension in VSCode

ext install plantuml

That’s all from the Gemba, for those who want to use PlantUML in VSCode.
