build task fails with dependency requirement of 'dot'

[sbose78]

On executing bundle exec jekyll build

The following output is seen:

As a workaround:
Did the following and it worked:
yum install 'graphviz*'

and then executed the build command to get the following clean output:

[shoubhik@dhcp35-156 almighty-devdoc]$ bundle exec jekyll build

Hi @sbose78 I'm not sure that this is an issue. The real issue is that there's no documentation on how to build this project.

On our CI system we use dependencies as defined in this Dockerfile. But this is not really a documentation :(

[sbose78]

Yes @kwk this definitely isn't an issue :)

I added this GH issue for tracking purposes so that we update/create the documentation to build this project.
