If I try to run:

pydeps dusk_pizding/ --max-bacon=4

I got:

'dot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Also, dot executable is not found in CMD:

dot -v

'dot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

In Gitbash, same not found:

dot -v
bash: dot: command not found

why?

Okay iam able to reproduce the issue. you haven't installed the actual Graphviz software that contains the dot executable. The Python package is just a wrapper that interfaces with the Graphviz program.

1.Download and extract the zip -(win 64) https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/4207231/packages/generic/graphviz-releases/12.2.1/windows_10_cmake_Release_Graphviz-12.2.1-win64.zip

2. Add bin folder to path.

3. Restart the terminal and type

dot -v
