I am trying to generate the diagram for ui-router.js file in windows machine

I have setup the node.js
i have setup the Grunt
installed the dependent package
npm install grunt-angular-architecture-graph --save-dev
npm install grunt-graphviz --save-dev

package.json file

{ "name": "helloworld", "version": "0.1.0", "devDependencies": { "grunt": "^0.4.5", "grunt-angular-architecture-graph": "^0.2.6", "grunt-contrib-clean": "^1.0.0", "grunt-graphviz": "^0.1.1" } }

Gruntfile.js

'use strict';
module.exports = function(grunt){
grunt.initConfig({
    pkg:grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),    
     angular_architecture_graph: {
            diagram: {
                files: {
                    // "PATH/TO/OUTPUT/FILES": ["PATH/TO/YOUR/FILES/*.js"]
                    "c:/GruntTest/architecture": [
                        "c:/GruntTest/ui-router.js"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
}); 
    grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-angular-architecture-graph");
    grunt.registerTask("default",['angular_architecture_graph']);


};

Could you help on this?

I am guessing you dont have Graphviz in your PATH. You can follow this on Windows:

1. Unpack (or install) Graphviz. Latest at the time of this post can be downloaded here.
2. Lets say you unpacked or installed in the directory D:\graphviz\, then add ;D:\graphviz\bin to your PATH environment variable

It may probably work now. Hope this helps.
