How to run neato from pygraphviz on Windows

Question

I am trying to use pygraphviz and networkx in python (v 2.7) to create a network map. I found a script that looks very useful on stackoverflow:

import netwo         


        

Answer 1

Your problem is that neato is missing.
neato is part of the graphviz suite which you can install on your PC e.g. from here. (I used the .msi)

Now neato is "installed", but your system does not know where. So add the directory where neato.exe is contained in to your PATH environment variable. On Win10, this can be done with Start -> Edit environment variables for your account -> select path in the upper window -> edit -> New -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\ or whatever your install directory is.
