anaconda - graphviz - can't import after installation

Just installed a package through anaconda (conda install graphviz), but ipython wouldn't find it.

I can see a graphviz folder in C:\Users\username\Anaconda\pkgs

But there's nothing in: C:\Users\username\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages

Thank you to everyone - this really helped me.

The following combination seemed to be enough (Macbook Pro M1; Monterey; Anaconda):

conda install -c anaconda graphviz \
conda install -c anaconda pydot \
conda install -c anaconda python-graphviz

The graphviz conda package is no Python package. It simply puts the graphviz files into your virtual env's Library/ directory. Look e.g. for dot.exe in the Library/bin/ directory.

~~To install the graphviz Python package, you can use pip: conda install pip and pip install graphviz.~~

Always prefer conda packages if they are available over pip packages. Search for the package you need (conda search pkgxy) and then install it (conda install pkgxy). If it is not available, you can always build your own conda packages or you can try anaconda.org for user-built packages.

Update Nov 25, 2018: There exists now a python-graphviz package at Anaconda.org which contains the Python interface for the graphviz tool. Simply install it with conda install python-graphviz.
(Thanks to wedran and g-kaklam for posting this solution and to endolith for notifying me).

Update May 26, 2022: According to the pygraphviz website, the conda-forge channel should be used: conda install -c conda-forge pygraphviz (thanks to ian-thompson)

On conda:

First install

conda install graphviz

Then the python-library for graphviz python-graphviz

gv_python is a dynamically loaded extension for python that provides access to the graph facilities of graphviz.

conda install python-graphviz

There is also pydot package, which can parse and dump into DOT language, used by GraphViz

conda install pydot

You can actually install both packages at the same time. For me:

conda install -c anaconda graphviz python-graphviz

did the trick.

I have followed the following steps and it worked fine for me.

1 . Download and install graphviz-2.38.msi from https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html

2 . Set the path variable

(a) Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced System Settings >  Environment Variables > Path > Edit

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

for me the problem was solved by installing another supportive package.

so I installed graphviz package through anaconda then I failed to import it

after that I installed a second package named python-graphviz also through anaconda

then I succeeded in importing graphviz module into my code

I hope this will help someone :)

Graphviz is evidently included in Anaconda so as to be used with pydot or pydot-ng (both of which are included in Anaconda). You may want to consider using one of those instead of the 'graphviz' Python module.
