Failed to save save chart. Make sure Graphviz is installed and in your path, or use filetype = dot

Question

Failed to save save chart. Make sure Graphviz is installed and in your path, or use filetype = dot

When I run rake db:migrate, I get this error

rake aborted!
Saving diagram failed!
Verify that Graphviz is installed and in your path, or use filetype=dot.

Tasks: TOP => erd => erd:generate

I do not understand the problem. I ran into this problem after I updated the application from rails 3 to rails 4.2. My application works without any problems. But when I start rake db:migrate command, I get this error. How to solve this problem?

The line may be important in the error log, but I do not understand it.

GraphViz not installed or dot not in PATH. Install GraphViz or use the 'path' option
