Installation

plotly.py may be installed using pip

or conda.

conda install -c conda-forge plotly

Jupyter Widget Support

For use as a Jupyter widget, install jupyter and anywidget packages using pip:

pip install jupyter anywidget

Static Image Export

plotly.py supports static image export, using the kaleido package (version 1.0 or greater).

Kaleido has minimal dependencies and can be installed using pip

Kaleido requires Chrome or Chromium to generate images. By default, Kaleido will use the Chrome or Chromium version already installed on your system. If you don't have it installed or Kaleido can't find it, you may need to install it by running the command:

plotly_get_chrome

on your command line.
