Graphviz throws errors calling view() function

I tried to rebuild the code of fsm.py to display a process sequence for a production line. I did this in an jupyter notebook and also run the command

conda install -c anaconda graphviz

This install was successfully completed without errors.

The given code from the source is:

from graphviz import Digraph

f = Digraph('finite_state_machine', filename='fsm.gv')
f.attr(rankdir='LR', size='8,5')

f.attr('node', shape='doublecircle')
f.node('LR_0')
f.node('LR_3')
f.node('LR_4')
f.node('LR_8')

f.attr('node', shape='circle')
f.edge('LR_0', 'LR_2', label='SS(B)')
f.edge('LR_0', 'LR_1', label='SS(S)')
f.edge('LR_1', 'LR_3', label='S($end)')
f.edge('LR_2', 'LR_6', label='SS(b)')
f.edge('LR_2', 'LR_5', label='SS(a)')
f.edge('LR_2', 'LR_4', label='S(A)')
f.edge('LR_5', 'LR_7', label='S(b)')
f.edge('LR_5', 'LR_5', label='S(a)')
f.edge('LR_6', 'LR_6', label='S(b)')
f.edge('LR_6', 'LR_5', label='S(a)')
f.edge('LR_7', 'LR_8', label='S(b)')
f.edge('LR_7', 'LR_5', label='S(a)')
f.edge('LR_8', 'LR_6', label='S(b)')
f.edge('LR_8', 'LR_5', label='S(a)')

f.view()

From the source it is supposed to give this output:

Code Output

But, when I run the code I get this pile of errors:

ExecutableNotFound: failed to execute ['dot', '-Tpng', '-O', 'Graph.gv'], make sure the Graphviz executables are on your systems' PATH

Didn't I installed graphviz correctly? That is what I understand from the errors. If so, what could be the right way to install it?

Is there even a potential way to create such a graph with networkx? I also tried it, but failed to create such a sequenced presentation of the nodes.

Thank you really much for your help, I'm sitting on this since ours.

Solution

From this thread I found the information to change the install promt for conda to:

conda install python-graphviz

This cleared all my problems!Thank you @Blckknght for the important information to install it on the local machine as well and not only within conda. I hope other users with the same struggle will find help in our elaboration.
