Installation

plotly.py may be installed using pip

Jupyter Widget Support

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

pip install jupyter anywidget

or conda:

conda install jupyter anywidget

Static Image Export

plotly.py supports static image export, using 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).

Kaleido

The kaleido package has no dependencies and can be installed using pip

pip install -U kaleido

or conda

conda install -c conda-forge python-kaleido

Extended Geo Support

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
