# Set up prerequisites
## Obsidian
- Download Obsidian [here](https://obsidian.md/download).
- Besides the core Obsidian, well also need to add the [Juggl](https://juggl.io/) plugin to support labeled edges:
- Go to `Settings->Community plugins` and click `Turn on community plugins`
- Click `Browse`.
- Type `Juggl` and click `Install`.
- Make sure Juggl is active by toggling it in `Settings->Community plugins->Installed plugins`
## Version Control (Git)
Well use Git for version control. If you already know how to use git, you can skip this section and directly clone the [repository](https://gitea.dgov.io/DGF/obsidian-dgraph). If not, the easiest way to go is to use the Github Desktop GUI client.
1. Download Github Desktop [here](https://desktop.github.com/) and install it.
2. In Github Desktop, go to `File->Clone repository` , click the URL tab and input the repo URL
```
https://gitea.dgov.io/DGF/obsidian-dgraph.git
```
# Usage
- In Obsidian, click `Open another vault` and select the `dgraph` folder in the directory where you cloned the repository. On the left Files pane in Obsidian, you should now see the markdown pages comprising the knowledge graph.
- To view the graph view in Juggl, right click a page and select `Open Juggl`
- To add nodes to the graph, simply click the `New note` button above the list of pages on the left.
- To add an unlabeled edge to the graph, add to the source node a link to the target node using:
```
[[target-page-name]]
```
(see example [here](https://gitea.dgov.io/DGF/obsidian-dgraph/raw/branch/main/dgraph/Example%20Graph/%7BSRC%7D%20Example%20Source%201.md))
- To add a labeled edge, use the syntax:
```
- edge_label [[target-page-name]]
```
Where `edge_label` must be one word.
(see example [here](https://gitea.dgov.io/DGF/obsidian-dgraph/raw/branch/main/dgraph/Example%20Graph/%7BEVD%7D%20Example%20Evidence%202.md))
- Nodes and edges should follow the [current graph grammar.](https://gitea.dgov.io/DGF/obsidian-dgraph/src/branch/main/dgraph/%7BP%7D%20Discourse%20Graph%20Grammar.md)
