# Getting Started with Pyvis for Graph Visualization
Graph visualization is a powerful way to represent relationships and connections between entities. In this article, we will explore how to use the pyvis library to create interactive and visually appealing graph visualizations.
## Installing Pyvis
To get started, you need to install the pyvis library. You can do this using the following command:
pip3 install pyvis## Creating a Network
All networks in pyvis must be instantiated as a Network object. Here's how we set up our environment:
from pyvis.network import Network## Adding Nodes to the Network
Nodes are the fundamental building blocks of a graph. Each node must have an ID and an optional label. Here’s how you can add nodes to your network:
The ID can be a string or an integer, and the label will be a string. If you don’t provide a label, the ID will be used as the label by default. Label is visually attached to the node in the final graph visualization.
net = Network(notebook=True, height="700px", width="700px")
# Adding individual nodes
net.add_node(1, label="Node 1") # Node ID: 1, Label: "Node 1"
net.add_node(2) # Node ID…
