Context

  • I'm using the Docker installation method and running the notebook inside the container.
  • MacOS Catalina 10.15.1

I am on the 01_dash.delayed notebook and running into the following error when running the z.visualize() command.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'graphviz'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

RuntimeError: Drawing dask graphs requires the `graphviz` python library and the `graphviz` system library to be installed.

It seems as though this error is caused by graphviz not being installed correctly.

The solution that worked for me was to run inside the container the following commands...

conda install -c conda-forge graphviz
conda install -c conda-forge python-graphviz
