Dask not installing graphviz dependency

Question

I'm getting an error when I try to import dask.dot that it can't find the graphviz install. However, both graphviz and pygraphviz are installed.

How do I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

The github issue referenced in MRocklin's answer got updated. I fixed the problem with the following lines:

conda install -c conda-forge graphviz

conda install -c conda-forge python-graphviz
