Tutorial "DIA", Application to create a Flowchart in Linux

The Flowchart is a general overview of the process of work or activity which is denoted with the symbol of a specific symbol. as an example; someone made a post in utopian.io then she must fill in the fields on Github, give the article title, then fill out the article in accordance with the regulations, and also inserting tags that match the topics in the article, then click on the submit button to publish. If all the rules are already running without a hitch, then the job is considered finished, but when there are stages that is passed, then the edit should be back on the stage is not over yet.
for the more easier it is to pay attention to the following flowchart

well, here I share how application installation "DIA" are useful for creating a flowchart. for the record, I use Kali Linux, that is distro of Debian Linux.
Linux applications stored in its respective repository, so we had to adjust his repository so that the application can be installed properly.
the steps are as follows:
Open a Terminal and type:
#nano/etc/apt/source.list

then add the following repository:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main

After using the new repository, do not forget in the update first, so that packages the application identified during installation to run
#apt-get update

now it's time for installation
#apt-get install dia

If the message appears, to continue the installation of y/n. then choose y

application size 30.6 Mb, including the small size of the application, and the installation process is not too long. especially if supported by high-speed internet.
dia finished installation

Now we can open the application by typing the word her in desktop applications

DIA is a dedicated word processor application diagram used by Linux users. This application is very useful to create a diagram with good and true. The Wrong function is to create a flowchart. In addition to the flowchart can also to make UML, Cisco Networking, and other diagrams.
The application is free and opensource, we can use it for free.
To install it. Here's how easy enough, typing the following command in terminal Linux like command above
so just that tutorial how to install dia from my version, dia may be useful

For ease in making a flowchart, then I explained a little about the symbol and its functions.
TERMINAL POINT SYMBOL

SYMBOL OF ONE CONNECTOR

SYMBOL OFF PAGE CONNECTOR
serves to redirect the process on a different page.
