Unsure if this is the correct place to put this. I really enjoy your package. I use VS Code and it was a bit of a search to figure out that, if you're using this cool package in VSCode, you have to install a Golang extension to get it to generate the graph correctly in the web browser. So I wanted to see if we could add this tip in a conspicuous place.

@grace-harper-ibm Thank you for the kind words and the PR! @NHDaly we should make graphviz a dependency of the PProf_jll.

Thank you! I went back and realized that after I installed the VSCode extension, I was working from a VSCode zsh terminal in which I was running Julia instead of the integrated Julia REPL. The integrated VSCode Julia REPL still fails. The VSCode zsh terminal in which I was running Julia succeeds.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the two that causes this issue but I really appreciate you catching my error.
