"failed to execute ['dot', '-Tsvg'], make sure the Graphviz executables are on your systems' PATH" error on platform

[InstantWindy]

Hi！When I run “make_dot ()”,it appears“failed to execute ['dot', '-Tsvg'], make sure the Graphviz executables are on your systems' PATH ” error. I install graphviz offline by the command of pip insatll graphviz-0.10.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl. Thanks!

Hi, see https://graphviz.readthedocs.io/en/stable/manual.html#installation (you will also need to install Graphviz).

Add graphviz to the System Path:

Windows - Edit the System Environment Variables. Choose Environment Variables. Select Path - New Add the Path of graphviz Ex: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Library\bin\graphviz

[Shahrullo]

you installed it by pip install graphviz. In that case, the graphviz executable sit on a different path from your directory. Do conda install python-graphviz.

[marcosmcz]

conda install python-graphviz

This is useful if you are working in jupyter and not on your actual machine.

In Ubuntu, try: "sudo apt install graphviz" and solved this problem.

An easier Solution:

Use pip install graphviz

Then just make sure Anaconda is added to the system Path and everything will work fine. Adding Anaconda to the system path will ensure graphviz will be found

To find Anaconda Path:

In Anaconda prompt type where conda and copy the path as shown up till Scripts

Then in CMD type conda --version. If everything is good it will show the version

you installed it by pip install graphviz. In that case, the graphviz executable sit on a different path from your directory. Do conda install python-graphviz.

When I run this line in the terminal (MacOS Big Sur version 11.5.2, conda version 4.10.3) I get the following:

I was also getting the same error and tried several other way like "pip install graphviz" or "python3 -m pip install graphviz" but worked only conda install. Here what it looks like -

@shashii82: for installing this package from PyPI, see https://graphviz.readthedocs.io/en/stable/manual.html#installation (you also need to install https://www.graphviz.org/download/ and make sure its dot binary is on your system PATH so you can render the DOT source produced by this Python libary).

For Anaconda users, there is a separate conda-forge distribution of this package (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/python-graphviz), which should install and set-up the conda-forge distribution of Graphviz (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/graphviz) into your Anaconda enviroment automatically if it is not installed (note that the the conda-forge distribution is a separate project, maintained at https://github.com/conda-forge/python-graphviz-feedstock).

Locking this issue as it seems to get confusing.
