How to use through Docker

To download the tool

Then to use it, simply pass a folder with your sql files, and be careful to write all your outputs in the shared folder to ensure the files are available on your host machine once the image is destroyed.

bash docker run --rm -v ${PATH_TO_YOUR_SQL_FOLDER}:/usr/src/doteur/shared -it nag763/doteur:latest bash

How to install it natively

1. Optional but highly recommended

First install graphviz.

On Linux, use your default package manager.

Example on ubuntu :

usr@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install graphviz

On Windows, use winget or the default graphviz installer.

You can still refer to the graphviz download page.

The tool uses graphviz libraries to render in other formats than .dot, if graphviz is not installed or you do not want to install it, you can still use this tool and pass it your output file.

1. Download the tool

• Via the release page.

• Via github

bash git clone https://github.com/nag763/doteur cd doteur cargo install --path .

1. Use the tool

bash doteur --help

1. Add it to your path

If you need to use it regularly, it is recommended to add the bin folder to your path. For this, look on how to do it on your distro.

On linux :

bash ln -s path/to/doteur /usr/sbin
