Graphviz — Graph Visualization Software

Source Code

Source code packages for the latest stable and development versions of Graphviz are available, along with instructions for anonymous access to the sources using Git.

Executable Packages

Packages marked with an asterisk(*) are provided by outside parties. We list them for convenience, but disclaim responsibility for the contents of these packages.

Linux

We do not provide precompiled packages any more. You may find it useful to try one of the following third-party sites.

Windows

• Stable Windows install packages:
  • 2.47.1 EXE installer for Windows 10 (64-bit): stable_windows_10_cmake_Release_x64_graphviz-install-2.47.1-win64.exe (not all tools and libraries are included)
  • 2.47.1 EXE installer for Windows 10 (32-bit): stable_windows_10_cmake_Release_Win32_graphviz-install-2.47.1-win32.exe (not all tools and libraries are included)
  • 2.47.1 ZIP archive for Windows 10 (32-bit): stable_windows_10_msbuild_Release_Win32_graphviz-2.47.1-win32.zip
  • checksums: stable_windows_10_cmake_Release_x64_graphviz-install-2.47.1-win64.exe.sha256 | stable_windows_10_cmake_Release_Win32_graphviz-install-2.47.1-win32.exe.sha256 | stable_windows_10_msbuild_Release_Win32_graphviz-2.47.1-win32.zip.sha256
  • Further 2.47.1 variants available on Gitlab
  • Prior to 2.46 series
• Development Windows install packages
  • 2.46.0 as newer
  • Prior to 2.46.0
• Cygwin Ports* provides a port of Graphviz to Cygwin.
• WinGraphviz* Win32/COM object (dot/neato library for Visual Basic and ASP).

• Mostly correct notes for building Graphviz on Windows can be found here.

  MacPorts* provides both stable and development versions of Graphviz and the Mac GUI Graphviz.app. These can be obtained via the ports graphviz, graphviz-devel, graphviz-gui and graphviz-gui-devel.

  We need help with OSX, if you would like to volunteer.

  We would appreciate if someone donates a script to run pkgbuild or productbuild to automatically generate OSX installers. Packaging for Apple Administrators could be a good reference. Note graphviz needs postinstall actions, at least dot -c ; also fc-cache if Graphviz has freetype/cairopango drivers.

  Solaris

  For Solaris, please use the graphviz stable releases here. These are maintained by Laurent Blume / John Ellson. Currently available packages are:

  graphviz	Graph Visualization Tools
  graphviz_dev	Graphviz headers etc. for development
  graphvizdoc	Graphviz documentation
  graphvizgd	Graphviz renderers using gd
  graphvizgraphs	Graphviz example graphs
  graphvizguile	Graphviz language binding for guile
  graphvizperl	Graphviz language binding for perl
  graphvizpython	Graphviz language binding for python
  graphvizruby	Graphviz language binding for ruby
  graphvizsharp	Graphviz language binding for C#
  graphviztcl	Graphviz language binding for tcl

  Minimally, graphviz and graphvizgd should be installed.

  Graphviz — Graph Visualization Software

  For building on Windows:

  (Graphviz versions ≥ 2.41)

  First, in the root of the repository, perform git submodule update —init . This will download all submodules, which are mostly the dependencies for the Windows build. Next, add the windows\dependencies\graphviz-build-utilities directory to your PATH (and restart Visual Studio or the prompt with which you execute msbuild after that). This folder contains the tools Bison, Flex and SED (and future additions) with versions that are tested. If all went right, the dependencies are now set up and you can build Graphviz.

  (Graphviz versions ≥ 2.30)

  The current build process for Windows using Visual Studio is fairly simple assuming all of the necessary files are available and have been put in the correct place. The build assumes you have installed binary versions of GTK 2.0 or later, Qt, and ltdl, and source versions of GTS and ann. Further instructions can be found in the Graphviz gitlab repository.

  This whole process could and should be simplified. In particular, the 3rd-party software should not be stored in two places, and the Graphviz files that are made part of the release should come from the source package, and not be stored separately. In addition, the GTS and ANN build should be separate from the Graphviz build. As 3rd-party libraries, these should only be built when the source is updated.

  (Graphviz versions ≥ 2.22)

  We now build both Visual Studio and MinGW versions of Graphviz. In addition, the source package comes with project files for Visual Studio, so building from source should be fairly simple in either case.

  • The first step is to add the third-party libraries. These are listed here. This is most easily done by installing a Windows binary version of GTK 2.0 or later.
  • Next, download and unwrap the Graphviz source package, and copy over either the stable release or the development source package.

  Let $ROOT be the root directory (folder) in which you stored the Graphviz source.

  Building with Visual Studio

  1. Copy the file $ROOT/windows/config.h into $ROOT.
  2. Copy the folder $ROOT/windows/FEATURE into $ROOT.
  3. Start Visual Studio and read in $ROOT/graphviz.sln. There are project files for all of the parts of Graphviz.
  4. Modify the various settings for include file and library directories to find the third-party software.
  5. Modify the settings as to where you want the software installed.
  6. Build Graphviz.

  Building with MinGW

  Install MinGW and Msys. This gives a mini GNU-like compile environment

  Set environment variables based on your machine, giving values to the first six below:

  Change directory to $ROOT and run configure:

  When configure finishes, it lists all of the Graphviz features that have been enabled. If there are problems, you can check for errors in config.log . You may have to add or modify other flags and environment variables for configure to give you the settings you want. Run configure —help to see the allowed options and environment variables.

  These builds create a feature-full version of Graphviz. You can tailor them to your wants. This is fairly simple for MinGW: just remove or reset the flag of the option you don’t want. For Visual Studio, you will probably need to reset some of the values in config.h and some of the compile-time options.

  (2.21 >= Graphviz versions > 2.14)

  To simplify our build process, especially as most Windows users only want a binary version of the software, the Graphviz build for Windows now uses uwin, an open-source Unix layer on top of Windows. In this environment, we can use essentially the same tools and process used on Unix. In particular, we do not have to maintain multiple build files.

  To build Graphviz:

  • Install the third-party libraries. This is most easily done by installing a Windows binary verion of GTK 2.0 or later.
  • Download the Graphviz source package, and copy over either the stable release graphviz- VERSION .tar.gz or the development source package graphviz-working.tar.gz .

  Unwrap the package:

  You can use, for example,

  Let $ROOT be the directory in which you stored the Graphviz source.

  Configure the package for your system:

  You will probably want to provide additional arguments to configure to indicate where you have installed GTK, where you want the results installed ( —prefix ) and which additional optional packages you want built. Run configure —help to see the available set of arguments.

  Presumably, a similar approach would work with Cygwin or MinGW. The following are some notes by Steve Roush describing how he made a static build of the libraries on MinGW.

  • Install MinGW and Msys. This gives a mini GNU-like compile environment that produces Windows-compatible results.
  • You may need to configure and build in Windows “Safe mode”. Try ./configure in normal mode; if it dies with “fork” problems, use Safe mode.

  Edit the “configure” file. after this line:

  Install¶

  Python (version 3.7, 3.8, or 3.9)

  Graphviz (version 2.42 or later)

  These instructions assume you have Python and a C/C++ Compiler on your computer.

  We recommend avoiding Anaconda and conda-forge to install Graphviz and PyGraphviz.

  Recommended¶

  We recommend installing Python packages using pip and virtual environments.

  Linux¶

  We recommend installing Graphviz using your Linux system’s package manager. Below are examples for some popular distributions.

  Ubuntu and Debian¶

  Fedora and Red Hat¶

  You may need to replace dnf with yum in the example below.

  macOS¶

  We recommend installing Graphviz using the Homebrew package manager for macOS.

  Homebrew¶

  Advanced¶

  installing Graphviz and

  informing pip where Graphviz is installed.

  Providing path to Graphviz¶

  If you’ve installed Graphviz and pip is unable to find Graphviz, then you need to provide pip with the path(s) where it can find Graphviz. To do this, you first need to figure out where the binary files, includes files, and library files for Graphviz are located on your file system.

  Once you know where you’ve installed Graphviz, you will need to do something like the following. There is an additional example using Chocolatey on Windows further down the page.

  MacPorts¶

  port install graphviz-devel installs an old developer release of Graphviz.

  Hopefully, the MacPorts packagers will update Graphviz to a recent release. Once that happens, you may want to use port install graphviz instead of port install graphviz-devel below. There is an open ticket to upgrade MacPorts to version 2.46.0 here: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62165

  Windows¶

  Historically, installing Graphviz and PyGraphviz on Windows has been challenging. Fortunately, the Graphviz developers are working to fix this and their recent releases have much improved the situation.

  For this reason, PyGraphviz 1.7 only supports Graphviz 2.46.0 or higher on Windows. We recommend either manually installing the official binary release of Graphviz or using Chocolatey, which has been updated to Graphviz 2.46.0.

  Assuming you have Python and Visual C/C++ installed, we believe the following should work on Windows 10 (64 bit) using PowerShell.

  Manual download¶

  Install PyGraphviz via

  Chocolatey¶

  I followed the installation instructions but when I do:

  I get an error like:

  ImportError: libagraph.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  What is wrong?

  Some Unix systems don’t include the Graphviz library in the default search path for the run-time linker. The path is often something like /usr/lib/graphviz or /sw/lib/graphviz etc. and it needs to be added to your search path. On *nix systems, the preferred way to do this is by setting the appropriate flags when building/installing pygraphviz . For example, if the Graphviz libraries are installed in /opt/lib/mygviz/ on your system:

  In this example, the -L and -R flags tell the linker where to look for the required Graphviz libraries at build time and run time, respectively.

  How do I compile pygraphviz under Windows?

  See Windows for the latest on how to install Graphviz and pygraphviz on Windows.

  Why don’t you distribute a pygraphviz Windows installer?

  We would very much like to make binary wheels available for pygraphviz , but there are several complications. pygraphviz is a wrapper around Graphviz, which means that Graphviz must be installed, and Graphviz header files, libraries and command line executables must all be accessible for the wrapper. The recommended use of the Graphviz CLI poses challenges for wheel packaging.

  Installing pygraphviz on windows

  After installing the latest graphviz (2.26.3) on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, I receive the following error:

  C:>easy_install pygraphviz Searching for pygraphviz Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pygraphviz/ Reading http://networkx.lanl.gov/pygraphviz Reading http://networkx.lanl.gov/wiki/download Reading http://networkx.lanl.gov/download/pygraphviz Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=122233&package_id=161979 Reading http://networkx.lanl.gov/download Best match: pygraphviz 1.1.dev1947 Downloading http://networkx.lanl.gov/download/pygraphviz/pygraphviz-1.1.dev1947.tar.gz Processing pygraphviz-1.1.dev1947.tar.gz Running pygraphviz-1.1.dev1947\setup.py -q bdist_egg —dist-dir c:\users\jonathan\appdata\local\temp\easy_install-apywwk\pygraphviz-1.1.dev1947\egg-dist-tmp-nvd0pa Trying pkg-config Failed to find pkg-config Trying dotneato-config Failed to find dotneato-config

  Your graphviz installation could not be found.

  Either the graphviz package is missing on incomplete (binary packages graphviz-dev or graphviz-devel missing?).

  If you think your installation is correct you will need to manually change the include_path and library_path variables in setup.py to point to the correct locations of your graphviz installation.

  The current setting of library_path and include_path is: library_path=None include_path=None

  Any thoughts how to fix this?
  This seems to be a different problem than the one described here.
  Has anyone had success in installing pygraphviz on Windows? How?

  howto install pygraphviz on windows 10 64bit

  Has anyone succeeded in installing pygraphviz on windows 10 64bit? I tried anaconda with python 3.5 64bit & 32bit with no success.

  Here is the error I am getting with python 3.5 32bit on win10 64bit

  I assume it has something to do with the fact graphviz is linked in 32bit?

  Note — I tried all binary for pygraphviz i could found on internet(anaconda,internet), and none work on win10 64bit. if you have any working (i mean you realy tested it ) i would be also happy .

  At the bottom of that page there is a link to a x64 zip file in Github (like this) Unpack that. Create a coresponding Program Files folder for your x64 file and put them there

  Then install using this

  I’ve created a build of PyGraphviz 1.5 on my Anaconda channel for Windows 64 bit running Python 3.6 through 3.9. If you’re running Anaconda, you can install with:

  This will also install Graphviz 2.41 as a dependency (don’t install it separately, it might conflict and not all versions are 64-bit compatible).

  I don’t currently have a version for Python 3.5 or 32-bit versions of Windows, but I hope the above helps.

  The accepted answer didn’t work for me running Python 2.7 (Anaconda) on Windows 10. The file path that @MiniMe suggested for —global-option didn’t even exist in the git repo that he or she pointed to.

  What did work for me was following instructions provided by the (currently) bottom answer to: Installing pygraphviz on windows

  Steps:
  1. Download graphviz-2.38.msi from https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html and install
  2. Download the 2.7 o̶r̶ ̶3̶.̶4̶ wheel file you need from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/

  gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygraphviz
  3. Navigate to the directory that you downloaded the wheel file to
  4. Run pip install pygraphviz-1.3.1-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
  5. Rejoice

  N̶o̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶m̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶r̶u̶n̶ ̶ ̶p̶i̶p̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶p̶y̶g̶r̶a̶p̶h̶v̶i̶z̶-̶1̶.̶3̶.̶1̶-̶c̶p̶3̶4̶-̶n̶o̶n̶e̶-̶w̶i̶n̶_̶a̶m̶d̶6̶4̶.̶w̶h̶l̶ ̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶’̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶r̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶P̶y̶t̶h̶o̶n̶ ̶3̶.̶4̶.̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶t̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶.̶ Also, the SO answer I referenced also mentioned needing to add graphviz to your PATH but I didn’t need to. Good luck!

  Update: The python3 wheel vanished. If you’re running python3, this answer worked for me. Follow step 1 above and then in WSL bash run:
  1. sudo apt-get install python-dev graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config
  2. pip install pygraphviz

  That answers says to use sudo pip install pygraphviz , but that gave me a dreaded pip import error for some reason. Dropping the sudo made it work in my case.
