Installation
============
Manim runs on Python 3.8.
System requirements are
- `FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org/>`__
- `OpenGL <https://www.opengl.org//>`__ (included in python package ``PyOpenGL``)
- `LaTeX <https://www.latex-project.org>`__ (optional, if you want to use LaTeX)
- `cairo <https://www.cairographics.org/>`_ (included in python package ``pycairo``. optional, if you want to use ``Text`` in manim)
Directly
--------
If you want to hack on manimlib itself, clone this repository and in
that directory execute:
.. code-block:: sh
# Install python requirements
pip install -e .
# Try it out
manimgl example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample
# or
manim-render example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample
If you run the above command and no error message appears,
then you have successfully installed all the environments required by manim.

FFmpeg <https://www.wikihow.com/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows>`__, and make sure that its path is in the PATH environment variable.
