Get PyGraphviz from the Python Package Index at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pygraphviz
or install it with:
easy_install pygraphviz
and an attempt will be made to find and install an appropriate version that matches your operating system and Python version.
More download options are at http://networkx.lanl.gov/download.html
You can install from source by downloading a source archive file (tar.gz or zip) or by checking out the source files from the Subversion repository.
- Download the source (tar.gz or zip file).
- Unpack and change directory to pygraphviz-“version”
- Run “python setup.py install” to build and install
- (optional) Run “python setup_egg.py nosetests” to execute the tests
Check out the PyGraphviz trunk:
svn co https://networkx.lanl.gov/svn/pygraphviz/trunk pygraphvizChange directory to “pygraphviz”
Run “python setup.py install” to build and install
(optional) Run “python setup_egg.py nosetests” to execute the tests
If you don’t have permission to install software on your system, you can install into another directory using the –prefix or –home flags to setup.py.
For example
python setup.py install --prefix=/home/username/python
or
python setup.py install --home=~
If you didn’t install in the standard Python site-packages directory you will need to set your PYTHONPATH variable to the alternate location. See http://docs.python.org/inst/search-path.html for further details.
