I succeed in installing graphviz and cgraph with

$ sudo pip install graphviz
....
Successfully installed graphviz-0.5.1

$ sudo pip install cgraph
...
Successfully installed cgraph-0.1

I encounter the issue No package 'libcgraph' found while running sudo pip install pygraphviz. Below is the full stacktrace.

$ sudo pip install pygraphviz

sudo apt-get install python-dev graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

or the following might be needed if you're using Python 3:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev graphviz libgraphviz-dev pkg-config

then

pip install pygraphviz
