  • Graphviz. A recent version is required.
  • preview. A LaTeX package for extracting parts of a document.

From source

Dot2tex is just a single Python script. Put the dot2tex.py script somewhere on your PATH. Alternatively you can use the distutils setup script:

$ python setup.py install

This will install the script to the SCRIPTS directory in your Python distribution.

Using easy_install

The easiest way to install dot2tex is to use easy_install:

$ easy_install dot2tex

The command will locate dot2tex and download it automatically. Note that documentation and examples are not installed by default. Easy_install will also create a wrapper script or EXE file for you and install dependencies if necessary.
