anaconda - graphviz - can't import after installation

The graphviz conda package is no Python package. It simply puts the graphviz files into your virtual env's Library/ directory. Look e.g. for dot.exe in the Library/bin/ directory.

To install the graphviz Python package, you can use pip: conda install pip and pip install graphviz.

Always prefer conda packages if they are available over pip packages. Search for the package you need (conda search pkgxy) and then install it (conda install pkgxy). If it is not available, you can always build your own conda packages or you can try anaconda.org for user-built packages.

Update Nov 25, 2018: There exists now a python-graphviz package at Anaconda.org which contains the Python interface for the graphviz tool. Simply install it with conda install python-graphviz.
(Thanks to wedran and g-kaklam for posting this solution and to endolith for notifying me).

Update May 26, 2022: According to the pygraphviz website, the conda-forge channel should be used: conda install -c conda-forge pygraphviz (thanks to ian-thompson)

On conda:

First install

conda install graphviz

Then the python-library for graphviz python-graphviz

gv_python is a dynamically loaded extension for python that provides access to the graph facilities of graphviz.

conda install python-graphviz

There is also pydot package, which can parse and dump into DOT language, used by GraphViz

conda install pydot

for me the problem was solved by installing another supportive package.

so I installed graphviz package through anaconda then I failed to import it

after that I installed a second package named python-graphviz also through anaconda

then I succeeded in importing graphviz module into my code

I hope this will help someone :)

You can actually install both packages at the same time. For me:

conda install -c anaconda graphviz python-graphviz

did the trick.

---

To install graphviz,

conda install -c anaconda graphviz
pip install graphviz

If conda command not found. Follow these:

export PATH=~/anaconda/bin:$PATH
conda --version # to check your conda version

Difference between conda and pip installation,
refer this stackoverflow answer

I have followed the following steps and it worked fine for me.

1 . Download and install graphviz-2.38.msi from https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html

2 . Set the path variable

(a) Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced System Settings >  Environment Variables > Path > Edit

(b) add 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin'

Graphviz is evidently included in Anaconda so as to be used with pydot or pydot-ng (both of which are included in Anaconda). You may want to consider using one of those instead of the 'graphviz' Python module.

---

For ubuntu users I recommend this way:

sudo apt-get install -y graphviz libgraphviz-dev

---

Remeber！ If you are using jupyter notebook, please restart it after the installing. That's work for me.

Because the condition before is a static variate as below:

Check if tensorflow is activated in your terminal

first deactivate it using

conda deactivate

then use the command

conda install python-graphviz

and then install

conda install graphviz

this is solution for UBUNTU USERS :) CHEERS :)

---

This command works officially for python:

conda install -c conda-forge python-graphviz

---

run this: conda install python-graphviz

---

I am using anaconda for the same.

I installed graphviz using conda install graphviz in anaconda prompt. and then installed pip install graphviz in the same command prompt. It worked for me.

---

I tried this way and worked for me.

conda install -c anaconda graphviz
pip install graphviz
