only linux based installation is discussed
- cloning and installing from official git repo
- simple way is creating an venv (virtual envio) in the same folder and using for manim
git clone https://github.com/3b1b/manim.git
python3 -m venv ./
source bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirement.txt
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
- additionally add the env manim to the bashrc
python3 -m manim pythonFile.py className -args
Manim programs have a certain structure. The Python program file requires you to make classes for all your series of animations. If you make more than a few classes, you have to run commands for every class you make. Seperate videos are made for every class
Args are a list of arguements that can be stated when running the program. The most important agruements and it's explanations are provided in the GO TO GUIDE. I recommend to look at it later, and start with the tutorial.
