Exception: “dot” not found in path in python on mac

Question

I want to use caffe.draw to draw the caffe net by anaconda python on mac. But I got the error like this:

File \"python/draw_net.py\", line 45, in &l         


        

Answer 1

I have tried the methods in the above posts but unfortunately none worked for me. dot is an executable file but the problem is that it cannot be found by the system. Finally I managed to fix the problem by

1. Find the graphviz library in the system. dot should be inside the bin folder.

2. Either add the graphviz_library/bin into $PATH or create a symbolic link of dot and put it into any folder in $PATH.
