“RuntimeError: Make sure the Graphviz executables are on your system's path” after installing Graphviz 2.38

Question

I downloaded Graphviz 2.38 MSI version and installed under folder C:\\Python34, then I run pip install Graphviz, everything went well.

Answer 1

I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.3, and I had a similar error: ExecutableNotFound: failed to execute ['dot', '-Tsvg'], make sure the Graphviz executables are on your systems' PATH

Fixed it with:

pip3 install graphviz AND brew install graphviz

Note the pip3 install will only return the success message Successfully installed graphviz-0.13.2 so we still need to run brew install to get graphviz 2.42.3 (as of 10 Mar 2020, 6PM).

Answer 3

import os
os.environ["PATH"] += os.pathsep + "/Macintosh HD⁩/anaconda3⁩/lib⁩/⁨python3.7⁩/site-packages⁩/sphinx⁩/templates⁩/graphviz"

This solved the PATH issue on MAC for me!

Answer 4

For Windows:

1. Install windows package from: https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html
2. Install python graphviz package
3. Add C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin to User path
4. Add C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot.exe to System Path

This worked for me!

Answer 5

Just add below to your Environmental Variable(system) PATH on Windows

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

there, you can find .exe files

If not work

Find Graphviz2.38/bin folder in your Program Files not in python lib

Then, add to your PATH

It's important to find a folder where .exe files exist
