pip list o/p:

mglearn                            0.1.7  
graphviz                           0.13.2

Fixed with

brew install graphviz

Sorry, this might indeed be a bit tricky right now. I might want to just have the image in the notebook instead. I'll reopen this issue so I can fix that for the next print of the book.
