Heroku Buildpack: Graphviz

Install Graphviz on Heroku.

Description

This buildpack installs the Graphviz binaries to /app/graphviz/bin. The used Graphviz version is:

• Graphviz 2.36.0 for stack Cedar-14
• Graphviz 2.20.2 for stack Cedar (deprecated stack)

The /app/graphviz/bin directory is added to the PATH. The variable GRAPHVIZ_DOT is set to /app/graphviz/bin (required by some tools, e.g. PlantUML).

The binaries are taken from the official Ubuntu packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/graphviz for Cedar-14 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), and http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/graphviz for Cedar (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS).

Usage

Simply do

heroku buildpack:set https://github.com/weibeld/heroku-buildpack-graphviz.git

On the next git push heroku master, the Graphviz buildpack will be used.

For more information on how to use custom buildpacks, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/third-party-buildpacks#using-a-custom-buildpack.

Usage together with other buildpacks

To use multiple buildpacks, you can use heroku-buildpack-multi:

# Create file .buildpacks in app root, listing the buildpacks you want to use
cat <<EOF >.buildpacks
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git
https://github.com/weibeld/heroku-buildpack-graphviz.git
EOF

heroku buildpack:set https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

On the next git push heroku master, all the buildpacks listed in .buildpacks will be used.

Verification

You can verify the installation of Graphviz with

heroku run dot -V
