Automation of mindMaps: Installation Guide

To guarantee a smooth implementation process, I am providing you with a comprehensive guide detailing the necessary dependencies and essential setup steps. Please refer to the following instructions to ensure the successful execution of the code.

Prerequisites:

1. Install the "graphviz" Package:

• To initiate the installation, execute the command: pip install graphviz
• This package is pivotal for rendering the MindMaps effectively.

2. Installing the Graphviz Module:

• It is crucial to note that the "graphviz" package is not inherently part of basic Python files. Thus, it must be installed as an additional module. Follow these steps:

• Download the Graphviz Installer: Visit the official Graphviz website at https://graphviz.org/download/ and choose the appropriate installer based on your operating system.

• Follow Installation Instructions: Execute the installer and adhere to the platform-specific installation instructions. This will ensure the proper integration of Graphviz with your system.

3. Adding Graphviz to PATH (For Windows Users):

• For Windows users, the inclusion of the Graphviz bin directory in the system's PATH is crucial for seamless operation. Here's how to do it:

• Accessing Environment Variables:

• Utilize the Windows search bar to find "Environment Variables."

• Click on "Edit the system environment variables."

• Modifying System Variables:

• In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.

• Under "System Variables," locate and select the "Path" variable, then click "Edit."

• Integrate the Graphviz Bin Directory:

• Press "New" and input the path to the Graphviz bin directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Graphviz\bin).

• Click "OK" to close the windows. Kindly note that a system restart may be necessary to implement the changes effectively.

With these preliminary steps completed, the automation code is poised to operate seamlessly, enabling you to generate intricate MindMaps effortlessly.
