Do not require `dot` to work/ be available #161

Closed bast closed 2 years ago

Feedback from exercise lead while preparing:

-bash: dot: command not found Building DAG of jobs... Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'> BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

This was done with the coderefinery environment on a Mac Catalina.

I tried on the Binder, but it did not work there, either.

We should make it clearer that this does not have to work for everybody and does not have to be installed. I don't think this is an essential component of the lesson.
