Conda¶
Required Dependencies¶
There are several package managers that work with conda packages, namely conda, mamba and pixi.
After installing your package manager, you can create a new environment and install manim inside by running
# if you want to use mamba, just replace conda below with mamba
conda create -n my-manim-environment
conda activate my-manim-environment
conda install -c conda-forge manim
pixi init
pixi add 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.
Recommendations on how to install LaTeX on different operating systems can be found in our local installation guide.
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!
