I am trying to create a dot file using JDD project. It requires installation of Graphviz. I tried to install it using console:
sudo apt-get install graphviz
In that case, although the installation seemed successful, the program did not produce me any output. Therefore I tried another approach by downloading the top most .deb file but I got the error:
"Dependency is not satisfiable: libgraphviz4 (>=2.18)"
Does anyone know how I can make it work?
This worked for me on a 64-bit machine.
Try adding these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main
deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main
Then update:
sudo apt-get update
Now you should be able to install by double clicking the .deb file, or using dpkg, etc, which ever way you prefer.
NOTE: I think your first attempt might've actually worked, though. The issue is that the command installs a group of tools, none named 'graphviz'. I found this information here:

You will need to install a gui/visualization tool to open .gv files. xdot (sudo apt install xdot) is such a tool and can also be located on the Ubuntu software center.
Hope this helps.
sudo apt-get install graphviz after updating apt.
