- Python 3 (3.5 or later)
- PlantUML (1.2017.15 or later)
- Python modules specified in `` docs/requirements.txt ``
Optionally, the `Dia`_ application can be installed if you need to edit
existing `` .dia `` diagram files, or create new ones.
You can install these with `` pip3 `` (the Python Package Installer) by
passing it the requirements file above (with `` -r `` ). An optional `` --user ``
argument will install them locally, but you have to add their location to
$PATH (pip will emit a warning). Alternatively, they can be installed
globally (but will probably require root privileges).
You must also install the Python modules that are specified in the
`` requirements.txt `` file in the root of the `` docs `` directory. These modules
can be installed using `` pip3 `` (the Python Package Installer). Passing this
requirements file as an argument to `` pip3 `` automatically installs the specific
module versions required by |TF-A|.
