Conda

Required Dependencies

To create a conda environment, you must first install conda or mamba, the two most popular conda clients.

After installing conda, you can create a new environment and install manim inside by running

conda create -n my-manim-environment
conda activate my-manim-environment
conda install -c conda-forge manim

Since all dependencies (except LaTeX) are handled by conda, you don’t need to worry about needing to install additional dependencies.

Optional Dependencies

In order to make use of Manim’s interface to LaTeX to, for example, render equations, LaTeX has to be installed as well. Note that this is an optional dependency: if you don’t intend to use LaTeX, you don’t have to install it.

You can install LaTeX by following the optional dependencies steps for Windows, Linux or macOS.

Working with Manim

At this point, you should have a working installation of Manim, head over to our Quickstart Tutorial to learn how to make your own Manimations!
