plotly.py may be installed using pip...
pip install plotly==4.8.2
or conda.
conda install -c plotly plotly=4.8.2
For use in the Jupyter Notebook, install the notebook and ipywidgets
packages using pip...
pip install "notebook>=5.3" "ipywidgets==7.5"
or conda.
conda install "notebook>=5.3" "ipywidgets=7.5"
For use in JupyterLab, install the jupyterlab and ipywidgets
packages using pip...
pip install jupyterlab "ipywidgets==7.5"
or conda.
conda install jupyterlab "ipywidgets=7.5"
Then run the following commands to install the required JupyterLab extensions (note that this will require node to be installed):
# Basic JupyterLab renderer support
jupyter labextension install jupyterlab-plotly@4.8.2
# OPTIONAL: Jupyter widgets extension for FigureWidget support
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager plotlywidget@4.8.2
Please check out our Troubleshooting guide if you run into any problems with JupyterLab.
plotly.py supports static image export,
using the either the kaleido
package (recommended, supported as of plotly version 4.9) or the orca
command line utility (legacy as of plotly version 4.9).
The kaleido package has no dependencies and can be installed
using pip...
$ pip install -U kaleido
or conda.
$ conda install -c plotly python-kaleido
While Kaleido is now the recommended image export approach because it is easier to install
and more widely compatible, static image export
can also be supported
by the legacy orca command line utility and the
psutil Python package.
These dependencies can both be installed using conda:
conda install -c plotly plotly-orca==1.3.1 psutil
Or, psutil can be installed using pip...
pip install psutil
and orca can be installed according to the instructions in the orca README.
Some plotly.py features rely on fairly large geographic shape files. The county
choropleth figure factory is one such example. These shape files are distributed as a
separate plotly-geo package. This package can be installed using pip...
pip install plotly-geo==1.0.0
or conda
conda install -c plotly plotly-geo=1.0.0
The chart-studio package can be used to upload plotly figures to Plotly's Chart
Studio Cloud or On-Prem service. This package can be installed using pip...
pip install chart-studio==1.0.0
or conda
conda install -c plotly chart-studio=1.0.0
