pip install pygraphviz: No package 'libcgraph' found

Question

I succeed in installing graphviz and cgraph with

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

$ sudo pip install cgraph
...
Successfully installed cgraph-0.1

I encounter the issue No package 'libcgraph' found while running sudo pip install pygraphviz. Below is the full stacktrace.

$ sudo pip install pygraphviz

I tried the solutions provided by Python does not see pygraphviz, but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

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

then

sudo pip install pygraphviz

Answer 2

For MacOS, I needed to do:

$ brew install graphviz
$ sudo pip install pygraphviz 

Answer 3

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 4

On macOS, I made it with,

$ brew install graphviz
$ sudo pip install pygraphviz

Answer 5

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
