ditaa and plantuml in PATH

ditaa and plantuml in PATH

[Alexey Shmalko]

Hi!

I use NixOS and ditaa is globally installed. That means I have ditaa
executable in PATH but no easy way to find a ditaa.jar file. There is
no way to instruct org-ditaa to use the specified executable (it
requires java and path to the ditaa jar file). Note also that I don't
have java in PATH.

I would like org-ditaa to use ditaa executable from the PATH. Same
goes for org-plantuml.

Regards,
Alexey Shmalko

Does setting org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd to "ditaa" help? Maybe in
combination with setting org-ditaa-jar-path to nil or ""?

I remember looking into NixOS years ago and it was very interesting--also
looked into "GNU Stow" and it may help you
with PATH problems: https://www.gnu.org/software/stow

GNU Stow comes with NixOS:
