Mindmap not working

[huckleberrytwin]

I completed the setup sequence and at the end there was not a file named 'dot' rather it shows /usr/local/opt/graphviz

Here is the code on Anki with the error

Error An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.

Looks like it's an issue with the file permissions. It should work if you open a terminal and run this command: chmod +x /usr/local/opt/graphviz

If this gives you an error you cant try this instead: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/opt/graphviz

I put both codes in the second one prompted me to put in my password and then nothing happened.

I tried mindmap again on Anki and still didn't work It came with this error

Is /usr/local/opt/graphviz a file or a directory? If it's a file you could try this: sudo chmod +w /usr/local/opt/graphviz

If it is a directory the command above won't fix it but then the dot file could be inside and have a path like this: /usr/local/opt/graphviz/2.40.1/bin/dot If you find this file, put it's path into the add-ons config as shown in the video: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/31575114/117533363-aa587a80-afec-11eb-9b24-2ee58c837cde.mp4

@RisingOrange

I encountered a similar problem. I just installed graphviz, added to path for all users, and tried to create a mind map, but I got the error message below.

It seems that I don't have a 'dot' file? Or my python crash somehow? Are there any ways for me to fix this? Thank you so much.
