Plotly Missing Orca

I have small problem when exporting static chart using plotly. Plotly does not correctly recognize that I have orca installed and I have still error related to missing orca. I try

Solution 1:

try kaleido, it worked for me. It is an alternative to orca

conda install -c plotly python-kaleido

Solution 2:

From the plotly docs

pip install -U kaleido

Solution 3:

What worked for me on Windows with Pycharm and Python 3.6 is:

• Following https://github.com/plotly/orca#installation - Method 4: Standalone binaries:

  • Download windows-release.zip from https://github.com/plotly/orca/releases
  • Install the executable
  • Right click on the desktop newly created Orca icon to get the path where the application was installed.

• From the plotly\io folder (in my case C:\Users\ventafri\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Lib\site-packages\plotly\io) open _orca.py

Substitute:

 # Try to find an executable
 # -------------------------
 # Search for executable name or path in config.executable
 executable = which(config.executable)
 path = os.environ.get("PATH", os.defpath)
 formatted_path = path.replace(os.pathsep, "\n    ")

with:

# Try to find an executable
# -------------------------
# Search for executable name or path in config.executable
executable = r"C:\Users\ventafri\AppData\Local\Programs\orca\orca.exe"
path = os.environ.get("PATH", os.defpath)
formatted_path = path.replace(os.pathsep, "\n    ")

Solution 4:

#Try with installing these packages on Colab:

!pip install plotly==4.7.1
!wget https://github.com/plotly/orca/releases/download/v1.2.1/orca-1.2.1- 
x86_64.AppImage -O /usr/local/bin/orca
!chmod +x /usr/local/bin/orca
!apt-get install xvfb libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4
import plotly.graph_objects as go

Then generate your figure- not including code here -Save the figure as:

fig.show()
fig.write_image("figname.png")#change format if needed

Or save the generated figure on Google drive as:

fig.show()
fig.write_image("gdrive/My Drive/destinationfolder/figname.png")

Solution 5:

Susanna's answer is probably much better, but what worked for me is to downgrade to orca 1.2.1:

conda remove plotly plotly-orca
conda install -c plotly plotly-orca==1.2.1
