Technical requirements

In this chapter, we will learn how to use Mermaid to create entity-relationship diagrams. For most of the examples, you will only need an editor with support for Mermaid. A good editor that is easy to access is Mermaid Live Editor, which can be found online (https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/). You only need a web browser to run it.
