Installation
============
Manim runs on Python 3.6 or higher (Python 3.8 is recommended).
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)
- `Pango <https://pango.org>`__ (only for Linux)
Directly
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Install manimgl
pip install manimgl
# Try it out
manimgl
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.
Directly (Windows)
------------------
1. `Install
FFmpeg <https://www.wikihow.com/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows>`__, and make sure that its path is in the PATH environment variable.
2. Install a LaTeX distribution.
`TeXLive-full <http://tug.org/texlive/>`__ is recommended.
3. Install the remaining Python packages.
.. code-block:: sh
git clone https://github.com/3b1b/manim.git
cd manim
pip install -e .
manimgl example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample
For Anaconda
------------
- Install FFmpeg and LaTeX as above.
- Create a conda environment using
.. code-block:: sh
