Graphviz dot command not found


EDIT: we now have a docker-based Doxygen tutorial so you don’t have to install anything on your machine check it out below.




Recently I was trying to run doxygen on a new machine and got this error :

sh: dot: command not found

After some googling I realized I was missing graphviz dot, so a simple yum install graphviz fixed it right up.

Refhat, centos, rhel

yum install graphviz

Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc

apt-get install graphviz

This will install graphviz dot and get rid of your dot command not found error. If you have any further issues post in the comments and hopefully we can resolve it.
