Asciidoctor Chart
Prerequisites
All that’s needed is Ruby 2.5 or better (or JRuby 9.2 or better) and a few Ruby gems (including at least Asciidoctor 2.0.0), which we explain how to install in the next section.
To check if you have Ruby available, use the ruby command to query the version installed:
$ ruby -e 'puts RUBY_VERSION'
Make sure this command reports a Ruby version that’s at least 2.5. If so, you may proceed.
Getting Started
You can get Asciidoctor Chart by installing the published gem. You can also run the code from source if you want to use a development version or participate in development.

To install Asciidoctor Chart, first make sure you have satisfied the prerequisites. Then, install the gem from RubyGems.org using the following command:
