<p>To run manim, you need to enter the directory at the same level as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">manimlib/</span></code>
and enter the command in the following format into terminal:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>manimgl &lt;code&gt;.py &lt;Scene&gt; &lt;flags&gt;
<span class="c1"># or</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;code&gt;.py</span></code> : The python file you wrote. Needs to be at the same level as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">manimlib/</span></code>, otherwise you need to use an absolute path or a relative path.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;Scene&gt;</span></code> : The scene you want to render here. If it is not written or written incorrectly, it will list all for you to choose. And if there is only one <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Scene</span></code> in the file, this class will be rendered directly.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;flags&gt;</span></code> : CLI flags.</p></li>

<h2>custom_config<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-config" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>In order to perform more configuration (about directories, etc.) and permanently
change the default value (you dont have to add flags to the command every time),
you can modify <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">custom_config.yml</span></code>. The meaning of each option is in
page <a class="reference internal" href="../documentation/custom_config.html"><span class="doc">custom_config</span></a>.</p>
<p>You can also use different <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">custom_config.yml</span></code> for different directories, such as
following the directory structure:</p>
<div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>manim/
├── manimlib/
│ ├── animation/
│ ├── ...
│ ├── default_config.yml
│ └── window.py
├── project/
│ ├── code.py
│ └── custom_config.yml
└── custom_config.yml
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>When you enter the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">project/</span></code> folder and run <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">manimgl</span> <span class="pre">code.py</span> <span class="pre">&lt;Scene&gt;</span></code>,
it will overwrite <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">manim/default_config.yml</span></code> with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">custom_config.yml</span></code>
in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">project</span></code> folder.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--config_file</span></code> flag in CLI to specify configuration file manually.</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>manimgl project/code.py --config_file /path/to/custom_config.yml
</pre></div>
