I use Colab and Plotly and I want save a Plotly figure - how to install plotly-orca in Colab?

Question

I get the error message below.

If you haven't installed orca yet, you can do so using conda as follows:

$ conda install -c plotly plotly-orca

Alternatively, see other installation methods in the orca project README at https://github.com/plotly/orca .

I tried: !pip install plotly-orca , but that throws an error.

Collecting plotly-orca Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement plotly-orca (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for plotly-orca

What I want to do:

• Save a Plotly figure locally in Google Drive

Answer 1

To save an iplotly graph as html to gdrive

# Connecting to GDrive
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/gdrive')

from plotly.offline import iplot, plot, download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode
import plotly.graph_objs as go


Tickets_plot = go.Figure( ..... whatever is normally for your Plotly graph ....)

# this saves it to Google Drive ...you can put it in any folder you like
plot(Tickets_plot, filename="/content/drive/test.html", auto_open=False)

# this saves it within the notebook folder locallhy
plot(Tickets_plot, filename="/content/drive/test.html", auto_open=False)
