Adding the ibapi library to PYTHONPATH module in Spyder (Python 3.6) - python-3.6

I am trying to simply connect to the ibapi (Interactive Brokers API), but I am having some technical troubles with Spyder.
What I did so far:
I installed the latest version for Windows from here
I provided the following path to the PYTHONPATH manager in Spyder: C:\TWS API\source\pythonclient\ibapi afterwards I restarted Spyder
When I simply type import ibapi I get the same error message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibapi'
What I am doing wrong here and how can I fix this simple error?

I don't use python very much but I'm pretty sure you have to install the ibapi. I never used the PYTHONPATH and mine works fine in Spyder and Jupyter. I'm using Anaconda.
I run the Anaconda prompt (just activates the conda environment) and navigate to the dir C:\TWS API\source\pythonclient and run python setup.py install
Then everything works. I think many python packages need to be installed like this.
note: That's not my install dir, I just copied yours. There may be a problem with a space in the path. Try renaming to C:\TWSAPI\... if you still have a problem.

Note: after python setup.py install, you might need to restart spyder. If doesn't help, then copy the newly-created ibapi folder to:
C:\Users\iuzeri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages

copy your ibapi here
C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/Lib/site-packages/ibapi

Cant't launch jupyter notebook due to could not decode path

I use anaconda to install jupyter
Following is my command
$ activate demo ....demo is my environment name
$ conda install jupyter
$ jupyter notebook
and then it will get following error message
[C 10:39:17.591 NotebookApp] Bad config encountered during initialization:
[C 10:39:17.594 NotebookApp] Could not decode 'C:\Users\\xbeG\xa8|\xa5\xe0\.jupyter' for unicode trait 'config_dir' of a NotebookApp instance.
I think my path under C: has chinese, so it can't decode properly.
I also see some similar issue https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/5345
but this solution is no help to me, because I use window, I also tried to use
chcp in CMD to change language. It doesn't work too.( I have tried chcp950 ,chcp65001,chcp436)
Are there anyone have idea about my problem?
I also have another problem is that when I conda install jupyter , it seems
to be installed in C: automatically, I want to know are there any method install it to specific path? If it can achieve, I think there is no decode problem because path under D: didn't have chinese.
Thanks all of your help.
my environment:
Python 3.6.5
conda 4.6.11
Not sure if it'll fix your problem but you can install conda packages to a different directory by creating a different environment.
conda create --prefix D:\my_conda python=3.7
activate D:\my_conda
I think you can create .condarc file inside the root of this new conda environment and it'll override the one in your home directory.

Correct workflow? - Distributable environment including jupyter notebook

I am developing applications that use Jupyter notebook and ipywidgets for a GUI frontend to a backend codebase. I have run into issues distributing/installing packages in the normal way, such as:
unexpected differences between required library versions (e.g. pandas)
requirements.txt forcing an update to more recent version of a library when the user maintains and uses their own codebase on an older version of that library.
I think pipenv might be able to solve this problem, but I want to check I have a correct usage before going too far down this path.
Requirements:
the user needs to be able to restart Jupyter Notebook in the same env multiple times, running the program from scratch, until a new version is available.
Users are all on Mac.
Any installation should not alter site-packages etc, have no effect on the python setup any user currently has.
Workflow concept
Development:
Develop within a pipenv environment (I use Pycharm so this is relatively straightforward).
Include jupyter in Pipfile [requires], even though jupyter is not imported anywhere in my source.
Use pipenv install new_package as and when new packages are required by my codebase, and maintain the Pipfile (respecting --dev for testing packages etc).
User installation
Produce a zip file containing source code, setup.py etc plus Pipfile and Pipfile.lock.
User extracts the zip file to a known location on their machine.
In terminal, navigate to the unzipped folder location, and run pipenv install.
Use:
In terminal, navigate to the folder location, and run pipenv shell
Run pipenv run jupyter notebook to reload the env and notebook.
When finished, close out of notebook and run exit to close the env.
Uninstall env and upgrade to newer version
In terminal, navigate to the folder location, and run pipenv --rm.
Download new source zip and follow steps above.
If I've understood, this should ensure anyone can use the distribution in a tightly controlled environment, without making any alterations to their existing python install? Have I overcomplicated things?

jupyter notebook not running through command line [duplicate]

I have installed Jupyter on Windows 10, Python 3.x via
$ pip install jupyter
The installation works fine, even though I did restart the terminal.
But trying to run
$ jupyter notebook
gives the following error
'jupyter' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
How and where do I find the executable for Jupyter?
If you are absolutely sure that your Python library path is in your system variables (and you can find that path when you pip install Jupyter, you just have to read a bit) and you still experience "command not found or recognized" errors in Windows, you can try:
python -m notebook
For my Windows at least (Windows 10 Pro), having the python -m is the only way I can run my Python packages from command line without running into some sort of error
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using ' "
or
Errno 'THIS_PROGRAM' not found
Please try either of these commands first;
$ py -m notebook
$ python -m notebook
for jupyterlab users
py -m jupyterlab
Otherwise
$ python -m pip install jupyter --user
$ jupyter notebook
If this does not work.
pip does not add jupyter directly to path for local.
The output from
$ which python
/c/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35-32/python
After some digging I found a executable for jupyter in the folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python35\Scripts\jupyter.exe
Difference between local and roaming folder
So if you want to be able to execute a program via command line, you need to add it into the %PATH variable. Here is a powershell script to do it. BE SURE TO ADD THE ";" before adding the new path.
$ [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python35\Scripts", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
Update:
if you are using python3, switch out python with python3
but I encourage you to use pyenv instead :)
I had the exact same problem and it was driving me crazy. Other answers provide a solution, but they don't explain why you and I are having this problem.
I will try to explain why this is happening and then provide some solutions.
You can go to the end to see the TL;DR.
1)What's going on? Why is this error happening?
I'll try to make a step-by-step answer so everything is explained clearly.
If you think it's too basic at the beginning, go to the end of this "article".
I'll first start with common things like running the python shell from the terminal or running pip. You'll see why you can do that from the terminal and we'll end up on why and how you can run the jupyter notebook from the terminal as well.
Ready? Let's start!
Have you ever wondered why you can type python in the terminal (command prompt) and suddenly start the Python interpreter?
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1440]

>>>
You probably already know (but maybe don't) that this is because Python was added to the Windows PATH environment variable. You probably did it at installation time or afterwards.
But, what is this PATH environment variable?
It basically allows you to run any executables, that are located inside
the paths specified in the variable, at the command prompt without
having to give the full path to the executable.
You can check the content of that PATH variable with:
>>> import sys
>>> for path in sys.path:
print(path)
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python39.zip
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\DLLs
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages
... (some other paths were taken out for clarity)
You can see this folder: C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39. This is the place where Python version 3.9 is installed. Let's check its content:
<DIR> DLLs
<DIR> Doc
<DIR> etc
<DIR> include
<DIR> Lib
<DIR> libs
<DIR> Scripts
<DIR> share
<DIR> tcl
<DIR> Tools
LICENSE.txt
NEWS.txt
python.exe
python3.dll
python39.dll
pythonw.exe
vcruntime140.dll
vcruntime140_1.dll
Voilà! We have the python.exe file (an executable). We have a Python executable file in the PATH, that's why you can start the Python interpreter from the terminal with just typing python. If this wasn't the case you would have to type the full path to the executable file in the terminal:
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME> C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python)
Instead of just:
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME> python
And what about when you use pip?
It's the same principle. You can run pip from the terminal because there is a pip executable file in the PATH variable.
If you go to C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\ (which is in the PATH showed above) you'll see many executables files. One of them is pip. Actually I have three versions: pip, pip3.9 and pip3.
The Scripts folder allows exectuable files to be run from the terminal. Like pip or other libraries that you intend to run directly from the terminal. The Scripts folder:
...is not intended for you, it's for scripts that are installed as
components of modules that you install. For example, pip is a module,
but it also has a wrapper script by the same name, pip, which will be
installed in that directory.
If you put something there and it is properly in your PATH, then it
should be executable
That wrapper script would be the pip executable file. When this executable file is run, it locates the pip folder in the Python installation folder and runs pip.
But you could also run pip directly from the installation folder (C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages), without needing the executable pip file.
But, how can you do it?
I'm glad you ask. There is a Python way to run modules as the main module (without the need to import it).
python -m pip
When you run a module directly its name becomes __main__. What -m does is:
Search sys.path for the named module and execute its contents as the __main__ module.
What is __main__?
'__main__' is the name of the scope in which top-level code executes.
A module’s __name__ is set equal to '__main__' when read from standard
input, a script, or from an interactive prompt.
...
I guess that the pip executable does something similar, or at least, has the same effect: to start pip.
2)What does this have to do with the Jupyter Notebook?!
Think of the Jupyter Notebook as the same as pip. If you want to run jupyter in the terminal, you need an executable that it's on the PATH.
We have already seen that the executables of modules like pip or jupyter are located here C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\.
If I check the content of the folder I see this:
easy_install-3.9.exe
easy_install.exe
f2py.exe
jsonschema.exe
jupyter-bundlerextension.exe
jupyter-console.exe
jupyter-nbconvert.exe
jupyter-nbextension.exe
jupyter-notebook.exe
jupyter-qtconsole.exe
jupyter-serverextension.exe
jupyter-trust.exe
pip.exe
pip3.9.exe
pip3.exe
I see the already mentioned pip, pip3.9 and pip3. But I don't see jupyter (the word "jupyter" alone).
If I type jupyter in the terminal I get the error that started all:
'jupyter' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Finally we've reached an answer to your question!!!
'jupyter' is not recognized as a command because there is no executable file in the Scripts folder called jupyter.
So, let's try a different executable. What about jupyter-notebook?
BINGO! The notebook is running!
Serving notebooks from local directory:
C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
Jupyter Notebook 6.3.0 is running at:
http://localhost:8888/?token=... (edited)
or http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=... (edited)
Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).
I don't know why I don't have a jupyter executable called 'jupyter'. The official documentation says to use jupyter notebook on the terminal, but it seems that in some cases it doesn't work. And I think it has to do with what I mentioned above: there is no jupyter exectuable in the Scripts folder.
If you remember, I told you that you can run pip as the main module using python -m pip.
It happens that you can do the same with jupyter.We just need to know how to call it. As in with pip, we have to check the folder where 3rd party libraries are installed: C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages.
You'll see jupyter_console, but this just creates an interactive notebook in the terminal, not exactly what you were looking for. You're also going to find folders ending with .dist.info, like jupyter_console-6.4.0.dist-info. This is just metadata of the Wheel Binary Package builder. You'll also see a folder like jupyterlab_pygments, but that's for JupyterLab. We want to use the classic Jupyter notebook.
What we want is to run notebook. How do we know this?
You'll see in the folder site-packages the folder (package) notebook. Inside there is a file called __main__.py:
#__main__.py
if __name__ == '__main__':
from notebook import notebookapp as app
app.launch_new_instance()
It's calling notebookapp.py which is a "A tornado based Jupyter notebook server." Yes, this is what we need.
We can see that launch_new_instance in the notebookapp calls launch_instance(), which "launches an instance of a Jupyter Application".
Perfect! We are in the correct folder. To run the jupyter notebook from the Python interactive shell we have to run the notebook package with:
python -m notebook
3)*** SUMMARY: SOLUTION ***
tl;dr:
I have explained and showed why this error is happening.
Now let's summarize the solutions:
To know the name of the jupyter executable (in the Scripts folder), so you can run directly from the terminal (Command Prompt) as:
jupyter notebook
or as:
jupyter-notebook
Or whatever name you have.
Run the notebook as the main module from Python:
python -m notebook
I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. I'm open to your comments and suggestions.
I had the same problem, but
py -m notebook
worked for me.
I got Jupyter notebook running in Windows 10. I found the easiest way to accomplish this task without relying upon a distro like Anaconda was to use Cygwin.
In Cygwin install python2, python2-devel, python2-numpy, python2-pip, tcl, tcl-devel, (I have included a image below of all packages I installed) and any other python packages you want that are available. This is by far the easiest option.
Then run this command to just install jupyter notebook:
python -m pip install jupyter
Below is the actual commands I ran to add more libraries just in case others need this list too:
python -m pip install scipy
python -m pip install scikit-learn
python -m pip install sklearn
python -m pip install pandas
python -m pip install matplotlib
python -m pip install jupyter
If any of the above commands fail do not worry the solution is pretty simple most of the time. What you do is look at the build failure for whatever missing package / library.
Say it is showing a missing pyzmq then close Cygwin, re-open the installer, get to the package list screen, show "full" for all, then search for the name like zmq and install those libraries and re-try the above commands.
Using this approach it was fairly simple to eventually work through all the missing dependencies successfully.
Cygwin package list
Once everything is installed then run in Cygwin goto the folder you want to be the "root" for the notebook ui tree and type:
jupyter notebook
This will start up the notebook and show some output like below:
$ jupyter notebook
[I 19:05:30.459 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory:
[I 19:05:30.459 NotebookApp] 0 active kernels
[I 19:05:30.459 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at:
[I 19:05:30.459 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).

In Python 3.7.6 for Windows 10. After installation, I use these commands.
1. pip install notebook
2. python -m notebook
OR
C:\Users\Hamza\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python37\Scripts
.
For my pc python-scripts are located in the above path. You can add this path in environment variables. Then run command.
1. jupyter notebook
You can add the following to your path
C:\[Python Installation path]\Scripts
e.g. C:\Python27\Scripts
It will start working for jupyter and every other pip install you will do here on.
Check whether you have given python PATH in environmental variables properly.
If not, then set python path. Then use:
$ python -m notebook
If you are using the Anaconda distribution, make sure when installing it that you check the "Change PATH" option.
first you should make sure that you are put your python path in your system variables ..
Then try run this
python -m pip install jupyter --user
and then
run this
py -m notebook or jupyter notebook
In Windows 10 you can use ipython notebook. It works for me.
I added
c:\users\[user]\appdata\roaming\python\python37\site-packages
to the path and it worked.
## windows CMD
for default install (just check "add path" and "next" when installing)
python -m notebook
for custom install in C:\
jupyter notebook
Problem for me was that I was running the jupyter command from the wrong directory.
Once I navigated to the path containing the script, everything worked.
Path-
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\Scripts
I have two python version installed:
1. Python 3.8.2: This was installed independently
2. Python 3.7.6: This was installed along with Anaconda 3
Multiple versions caused conflict even after setting the path variables correctly.
I have uninstalled the Python 3.8.2 and after restart, the command
jupyter notebook
Worked perfectly :)
you can create a batch file and search for Jupiter in your windows search and ooen its properties and you will get this string.
D:\anaconda3\python.exe D:\anaconda3\cwp.py D:\anaconda3 D:\anaconda3\python.exe D:\anaconda3\Scripts\jupyter-notebook-script.py "%USERPROFILE%/"
after getting this you can create a jupitor.bat file with this content it that
and you can save that file in a script folder in d or any drive and add the path of your script file in your environmental path
and then you can easly call this by typing jupitor in cmd.
To install I used
"pip install notebook" in windows command line
To run python -m notebook did not work for me, but python3 -m notebook worked
First run this command
pip install jupyter
then add system variable path , this path is where jupyter and other scripts are located
PATH = C:\Users<userName>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts
e.g PATH=C:\Users\HP\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts
After that we can run jupyter from any folder/directory
jupyter notebook
I just found that error when I first intalled and run the jupyter notebook. Then I found the executable (.exe) file from
C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts.
The actual file name was "jupyter-notebook".
The installation guide says it as "jupyter notebook" to run the server. You have to run the command "jupyter-notebook" in the command line and it will be run. Thanks!
My problem was my user's folder had a space in folder name.
After creating a new user and switching to that windows user, windows shortcuts and links from within' Anaconda worked fine.
Windows 8.1 64 Bit. Latest Anaconda.
Note: I ended up uninstalling an reinstalling Anaconda but my sense is the problem was really just the space in the windows user username/user folder.
Using python 3.6.3. Here after installing Jupyter through command 'python -m pip install jupyter', 'jupyter notebook' command didn't work for me using windows command prompt.
But, finally 'python -m notebook' did work and made jupyter notebook to run on local.
http://localhost:8888/tree
Here is how I resolved stated issue, hope it helps:
install python 3.7 using official website for python, while installing include installing PATH by checking it's box
after that open cmd (be sure to open it after step 1) and write: pip install jupyter ENTER
now you should be able to open jupyter notebook by using command: jupyter notebook
Seems simple, but it may as well help.
In windows 10:
If you used anaconda3 for Jupyter notebook installation and forgot to check the box to add the environment variables to the system during installation, you need to add the following environment variables to the "Path" variable manually:
(search windows settings for Edit environment variables")
Environment variables for Anaconda3
If you have installed jupyter with
"python -m pip install jupyter" command
instead of
"$ pip install jupyter" command
then follow these steps:
Create a notepad
Change its extension from ".txt" to ".ipynb"
Right click it and click "open with"
In the pop up, go to - C:\Users\<"windows_user_name">\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts
Click on "jupyter-lab.exe"
100% working solution:
Follow these steps:
Open the folder where you downloaded "python-3.8.2-amd64.exe" setup or any other version of python package
Double click on "python-3.8.2-amd64.exe'
Click "Modify"
You will see "Optional features"
Click "next"
Select "Add python to environment variables"
Click "install"
Then u can run jupyter in any desired folder u desire
E.g open "cmd" command prompt
Type :
E:
E:\>jupyter notebook
It will get started without showing
'Jupyter' is not recognized
Thanks
I was facing the same issue in windows7, as i just recoverd my computer with the help of recovery point and after that notebook just stopped working. I tried to change the path setting but nothing was working so I just simply uninstalled the python with the application from which it was installed and after that I installed it again. After that I installed jupyter notebook again and then it worked fine.
Thanks
I just installed JupyterLab on top of my Python 3.8/pip enabled Win10 machine, so I ran into these startup problem with windows.
If everything is ok (check that you have PATH for Python, eg. C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts) you simply run:
jupyter-lab.exe
and that's it.
Cheers
Add system variable path, this path is where jupyter and other scripts are located
PATH -->
`C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\Scripts`
Like in my laptop PATH is:
"C:\Users\developer\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\Scripts"
After that, You will be able to run jupyter from any folder & any directory by running the below command
jupyter notebook
Had the same issue. Finally searched where jupyter.exe directory was located on my computer. For some reason it was under
C:\VTRoot\HarddiskVolume4\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python
Whereas the Python is
C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python
So I copied full Python39 folder from VTRoot to main Python39 python folder in AppData. And the issue is solved.
First check where your python is installed by heading over to
C:\Users\**username**\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
this is the path usually you will find python installed. After this type in
cd.. to get one step out of the Scripts folder
After this install jupyter in here using:
$ pip install jupyter
The installation was fine and when I tried to open the jupyter notebook, it gave me the following error.
'jupiter is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I checked a lot of resources but still, I faced the same problem. After doing a lot of stuff from the internet, I myself figured out that maybe due to some updates(for some users) it won't open by typing the command
jupyter notebook
Instead, you have to type
jupyter-notebook
The only thing I was missing was this Hyphen-minus. Hope this works for you too.

Installing Python modules

I am trying to install the pyperclip module for Python 3.6 on Windows (32 bit). I have looked at various documentations (Python documentation, pypi.python.org and online courses) and they all said the same thing.
1) Install and update pip
I downloaded get-pip.py from python.org and it ran immediately, so pip should be updated.
2) Use the command python -m pip install SomePackage
Okay here is where I'm having issues. Everywhere says to run this in the command line, or doesn't specify a place to run it.
I ran this in the command prompt: python -m pip install pyperclip. But I got the error message "'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
If I run it in Python 3.6, it says pip is an invalid syntax. Running it in IDLE gives me the same message.
I have no idea where else to run it. I have the pyperclip module in my python folder. It looks like a really simple problem, but I have been stuck on this for ages!
You need to add the location of the python.exe to your $PATH variable. This depends on your installation location. In my case it is C:\Anaconda3. The default is C:\Python as far as I know.
To edit your path variable you can do the following thing. Go to your Control Panel then search for system. You should see something like: "Edit the system environment variables". Click on this and then click on environment variables in the panel that opened. There you have a list of system variables. You should now look for the Path variable. Now click edit and add the Python path at the end. Make sure that you added a semicolon before adding the path to not mess with your previous configuration.

phpDocumentor - Unable to find the dot command of the GraphViz package

I would like ask some help about my next problem:
I am working on a Symfony2 project. We installed Symfony2 via composer.
Now I would like to generate phpDocument used by phpDocumentor.
A did the following steps:
update composer: sudo php composer.phar self-update
add the following property to Symfony2/compose.json file:
"require-dev": {
"phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor": "2.*#dev"
},
Run composer command
sudo php composer.phar update
Result was success! The installed GraphViz version is: 1.0.2
When I try to generate phpDoc from source code finally I got a message:
Unable to find the dot command of the GraphViz package. Is GraphViz correctly installed and present in your path?
(Document generated as right...)
I tried to found a soulution about this problem but I couldn't.
Is anybody can help me to resolve this problem?
Environment is: Ubuntu release 12.04
Graphviz is a nice software that creates graphs, but PHP software can only provide wrappers that create Graphviz source files that then get parsed and morphed into pictures.
Phpdocumentor comes with it's own wrapper, but you still have to install the Graphviz software package.
On Ubuntu just run
sudo apt-get install graphviz
rerun phpdoc, at the end you will see the line
Execute transformation using writer "Graph"
that's all!
The error says that : GraphViz tool (needed for making charts and graphs in the documentation) is not installed, in that scenario you will have to download the suitable version and configure it ! And if you are sure that it is installed on your system, then you should check whether the command dot is available or not. On windows path environment variable needs to be set which makes the dot command execution to be available from any path. Fixing this may get your things working !
For Windows
Follow the steps below to resolve this error are:
download Windows Packages from https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html
Just install it
add c:\Program Files\Graphviz*\dot.exe or c:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz*\dot.exe to your environment variable PATH
run phpdoc
Re-start your machine & run phpdoc (if still shows the same error message)
For windows 7/10 just install https://graphviz.gitlab.io/download/ select the Stable install packages. Then add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin
to your system environment variables. Make sure to change the version to the one you downloaded.
To check if it works open a new instance of cmd or git bash and run dot. If it says dot is not a valid command then make sure the path to Graphviz bin folder is correct.
