Assuming that you're on Ubuntu please look at following steps

  1. sudo apt-get install graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config
  2. Create and activate virtualenv if needed. The commands looks something like sudo apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv
  3. Run pip install pygraphviz
  4. Run terminal and check by importing and see if it works
