Question

I succeed in installing graphviz and cgraph with

$ sudo pip install graphviz
....
Successfully installed graphviz-0.5.1

$ sudo pip ins         


        

Answer 1

For fedora users:

1. yum list available graphviz*
2. select the appropriate package for your Fedora distribution
3. sudo yum install 'graphviz-devel.x86_64'
4. pip install pygraphviz

Answer 2

For MacOS, I needed to do:

$ brew install graphviz
$ sudo pip install pygraphviz 

Answer 3

For CentOS. As graphviz-devel is required to fix this issue, you will need to install it with yum. To do this you are required to add repo's where package is available. In my case Atomic repos worked fine.

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh

This will add atomic repos, then

sudo yum install graphviz-devel

And you should be able to perform

pip install pygraphviz

Answer 4

On macOS, I made it with,

$ brew install graphviz
$ sudo pip install pygraphviz

Answer 5

I ran into this problem when creating a Dockerfile for Django with a python-alpine image.

I was able to solve it thanks to this post adding the package "graphviz-dev" along with the rest of my app's dependencies.

Example:

#Install dependencies
RUN apk add --update --no-cache --virtual .build-deps \
    build-base \
    alpine-sdk \
    postgresql-dev \
    libffi-dev \
    python3-dev \
    libffi-dev \
    jpeg-dev \
    zlib-dev \
    musl-dev \
    libpq \
    graphviz-dev \  
    && pip install --no-cache-dir -r /code/requirements_dev.txt \
    && find /usr/local \
        \( -type d -a -name test -o -name tests \) \
        -o \( -type f -a -name '*.pyc' -o -name '*.pyo' \) \
        -exec rm -rf '{}' +

Answer 6

sudo apt-get install python-dev graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

or the following might be needed if you're using Python 3:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

then

pip install pygraphviz
