Usage Go to the Card Browser->Mindmap->Create mindmap This dialog will show up:

Installation of graphviz on Mac Os First you need to install homebrew (https://brew.sh/) if you don't have it yet. To do this, open the terminal, paste the line below and press enter: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Then tell homebrew to install graphviz by pasting this into the terminal: brew install graphviz

This might be enough to make it work, but if it isn't run this in the terminal: brew --prefix graphviz

This will give you the path to a file named "dot", for example "opt/homebrew/bin/dot" Copy this path by selecting the text using your mouse and pressing command+c. Then go to Anki and tell it about the location of the file named "dot" by following the steps shown in the video. Note that the path to the file might be different in your case.
