[Question] Proper way to install on Mac?

[IgorKrupenja]

What is a proper way to install mermaid on a Mac?

I have node installed from brew.
If I try to npm install -g mermaid, installation seems to complete successfully:

+ mermaid@8.0.0-rc.8
added 44 packages from 17 contributors in 3.35s

However, when I try to run mermaid I get bash: mermaid: command not found. Same story with zsh shell. No problems with other npm packages. Any ideas?

macOS is 10.13.5, node is v10.5.0, npm is 6.1.0.

Ok, figured out that I also need to install mermaid.cli and actually run mmdc. Closing

I know this issue is closed. For anyone coming here from a Google search, beware that the approach noted above (npm install -g mermaid.cli) is no longer current. As of 2022-2023, use the following to install mermaid-cli:

npm install @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli
