First, you need to install Chocolatey, which is a package manager for Windows systems. Please refer to this link for instructions.
You can install manim very easily using chocolatey, by typing the following command.
choco install manimce
And then you can skip all the other steps and move to installing LaTeX Installation. Please see Troubleshooting section for details about OSError.
To install ffmpeg
and add it to your PATH, install Chocolatey and run choco install ffmpeg
.
You can check if you did it right by running refreshenv
to update your
environment variable and running ffmpeg
.
You can install latex by either of the two methods below. MiKTex is very large (2 GB) while ManimLaTeX is small (500Mb).
This is the smallest latex distribution just enough to run Manim. Extra latex packages for fonts can be
installed using tlmgr
. See https://www.tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html for more information.
Install chocolatey if you haven’t already.
Run the following command
choco install manim-latex
Finally, check whether it installed properly by running an example scene.
After making sure you have a clean install following the instructions for each dependency above, you can go back to Installing Manim.
