Install PlantUML without GUI












2















I want to install PlantUML in a Docker container. I tried this:



apt install plantuml


This depends on a full X11 and GTK installation, but I only want to use the command line tool, so I don't want to install unnecessary packages, as it considerably increases image size. Is there any way to install PlantUML without GUI?

  • plantuml is a jar file so download that and put it somewhere on your system: for instance from sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download

    Actually it doesn't depend on a full X11 and GTK install. plantuml depends on default-jre !

By default, you must have X11 libraries installed. See: Installation notes. Otherwise check how to use Headless Mode in the Java SE Platform.



I think the best is to install X virtual framebuffer, which can performs all graphical operations in virtual memory without showing any screen output.



You can install it by:



sudo apt-get install Xvfb


Then run by:



Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x16 &


Then to specify which display to use, you need to export DISPLAY, e.g.



export DISPLAY=:0.0 # Select screen 0.


Then you can run plantuml to use that display.
