pip install pydot
pip install graphviz

there is a similar problemm: Keras: "RuntimeError: Failed to import pydot." after installing graphviz and pydot

pip installs pydot, but not GraphViz. The GraphViz binary files (dot, neato, etc.) need to be downloaded and installed separately from pydot. In addition, the location of these executables should be added to the $PATH environment variable (or equivalent in your operating system). Otherwise pydot won't find dot when looking in directories included in the current path.
