[02-2]Download and Install the Manim package

Install Manim package

1. Download Manim package from here: https://github.com/3b1b/manim

3b1b/manim

 

2. unzip downloaded zip file into the directory you want to use.

 

Manim library dosen't need to install it but only unzip the package is enough to use it.

 

Let's suppose you want to use 'C:/dev/manim' as the Manim development directory. Then, unzip the downloaded 'manim-master.zip' file into the 'C:/dev' directory, and the zip file will make 'C:/dev/manim-master' directory and unzip the files into the directory. 

After that you can change 'C:/dev/manim-master' directory to 'C:/dev/manim'

 

files in the C:/dev/manim directory

 

3. Install required other packages

 

Manim need other Python package such as colour, numpy etc. The required packages are listed in the requirements.txt and you can install required package using this file.

 

   C:/dev/manim/>pip3 install -r requirements.txt

 

 

Pycairo is also required package and it is in the requirements.txt. However, the pycairo package is already installed in the previous page downloding the whl file to the local directory because it's not installed propely by on-line method. 
That's the reason why install Pycairo ahead in the previous page.

 

 

Check installed Manim package

Enter below command in the Manim installed directory.

 

  C:/dev/manim/python -m manim -h

 

 

Now you can make video clip using the Manim library.

 

Let's make a vedeo using the sample code in the Manim directory.

 

   C:/dev/manim>python -m manim example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -pl

 

The video below will automatically run.
