getting an error from running the simple code below in Replit.
is graphviz not supported?

from graphviz import Digraph

dot = Digraph(‘AI_Development_Scenarios’)
dot.attr(rankdir=‘LR’)

dot.node(‘A’, ‘AI Development’)
dot.node(‘B’, ‘Normal Tech’)
dot.node(‘C’, ‘Slow Takeoff’)
dot.node(‘D’, ‘Fast Takeoff’)
dot.node(‘E’, ‘Aligned’)
dot.node(‘F’, ‘Misaligned’)
dot.node(‘G’, ‘Aligned’)
dot.node(‘H’, ‘Misaligned’)

dot.edges([‘AB’, ‘AC’, ‘AD’, ‘CE’, ‘CF’, ‘DG’, ‘DH’])
dot.view()

I’ve used the CLI in the past in a repl, so you could probably make it work correctly. Could you give an example repl?

Sure! As far as I know, there isn’t a better way to share a repl. Just make sure you don’t share an invite URL.

I can only find the Invite URL, searching how to share a simple link that is not an invite.

from graphviz import Digraph

dot = Digraph('AI_Development_Scenarios')
dot.attr(rankdir='LR')

dot.node('A', 'AI Development')
dot.node('B', 'Normal Tech')
dot.node('C', 'Slow Takeoff')
dot.node('D', 'Fast Takeoff')
dot.node('E', 'Aligned')
dot.node('F', 'Misaligned')
dot.node('G', 'Aligned')
dot.node('H', 'Misaligned')

dot.edges(['AB', 'AC', 'AD', 'CE', 'CF', 'DG', 'DH'])
dot.view()

also trying to format my code, it’s really short

Link to your repl will look like this: https://replit.com/@yourusername/yourreplname
Also, wrap your code in triple backticks (```) for it to be formatted.
EX:
```
print(“Hello world!”)
```
Is

print("Hello world!")

(trying to figure out how to format code so it looks like code)

```;
from graphviz import Digraph

dot = Digraph('AI_Development_Scenarios')
dot.attr(rankdir='LR')

dot.node('A', 'AI Development')
dot.node('B', 'Normal Tech')
dot.node('C', 'Slow Takeoff')
dot.node('D', 'Fast Takeoff')
dot.node('E', 'Aligned')
dot.node('F', 'Misaligned')
dot.node('G', 'Aligned')
dot.node('H', 'Misaligned')

dot.edges(['AB', 'AC', 'AD', 'CE', 'CF', 'DG', 'DH'])
dot.view()
```;

Try removing the semicolons after the 3 backticks.

thanks for your patience and help ^^

Why is your code wrapped in a <pre> element? Try not wrapping it in one.

indeed, I don’t have the right to edit yet… gotta be earned ^^

Try adding pkgs.graphviz to your replit.nix file.

14

Can you provide the error you received when running the repl?

15

ok so graphviz is not supported since it’s meant to be run as an administrator on a jupytor notebook or anaconda on your local device and thus it needs admin exec rights (for rendering) otherwise it’ll work if you don’t render

16

It should work if it’s installed using nix (I’ve used it in the past)

oh ok but idk it works other than rendering

18

because I was following ChatGPT4’s instruction on how to format text on replit… not that reliable yet, hey

I would not ask Chat-GPT, it is know for having human-like conversation, but also known for spitting misinformation left and right
