Does it work when executed from Emacs shell or eshell buffers?

Could you, please, provide complete sequence of commands to generate a 
graphics file from a ditaa source for a shell running in Emacs?

Flatpack is a means to prevent accessing system files by applications 
that may have less degree of trust. I expect that a package should be 
carefully prepared to allow `man' and `info' access docs installed 
system-wide, files from /usr/share/doc should be available for doc-view, 
compiler toolchains should be available if Emacs is used for 
development. It sounds like rather broad permissions for isolated 
applications.

Menu: Org → Documentation → Show version, Help → About Emacs
or M-x org-version, M-x emacs-version.
