MANIM COMMUNITY EDITION¶

Animating technical concepts is traditionally pretty tedious since it can be
difficult to make the animations precise enough to convey them accurately. Manim
relies on Python’s simplicity to generate animations programmatically, making it
convenient to specify exactly how each one should run. Take a look at the
Example Gallery for some inspiration on how to create beautiful images and
videos with Manim.


FIRST STEPS¶

Are you new to Manim and are looking for where to get started? Then you are in
the right place!

Note

Please be aware that there are different, incompatible versions of Manim
available. Check our installation FAQ to learn more!

 * The Installation section has the latest and up-to-date installation
   instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can also find information on
   Manim’s docker images and (online) notebook environments there.

 * Want to try the library before installing it? Take a look at our interactive
   online playground at https://try.manim.community in the form of a Jupyter
   notebook.

 * In our Tutorials section you will find a collection of resources that will
   teach you how to use Manim. In particular, the Quickstart tutorial teaches
   you Manim’s basics, and in Manim’s building blocks the classes used to
   compose your animations are described in more detail.


FINDING HELP¶

Are you struggling with installing or using Manim? Don’t worry, we’ve all been
there. Here are some good resources to help you out:

 * Perhaps your problem is one that occurs frequently, then chances are it is
   addressed in our collection of FAQs.

 * If you are looking for information on some specific class, look for it in the
   reference manual and/or use the search feature of the documentation.

 * Still no luck? Then you are welcome to ask the community for help, together
   we usually manage to find a solution for your problem! Consult the FAQ page
   on getting help for instructions.


NAVIGATING THE DOCUMENTATION¶

Here are some short summaries for all of the sections in this documentation:

 * The Example Gallery is a collection of examples (rendered videos and images
   together with the code they were generated from) that show a few different,
   simple things that you can do with Manim.

 * The Installation section has information on installing Manim.

 * In Tutorials & Guides you can find learning resources: proper tutorials that
   guide you through the process of creating a video are in the Tutorial
   section; guides on specific topics are in the Guides section, and the answers
   to frequently asked questions can be found in the FAQ section.

 * The Reference Manual contains a comprehensive list of all of Manim’s
   (documented) modules, classes, and functions. If you are somewhat familiar
   with Manim’s module structure, feel free to browse the manual directly. If
   you are searching for something specific, feel free to use the
   documentation’s search feature in the sidebar. Many classes and methods come
   with their own illustrated examples too!

 * The Plugins page documents how to install, write, and distribute plugins
   (that is, separate Python packages that extend the feature set of the core
   library).

 * Changes between versions are documented in our Changelog.

 * If you are looking into contributing to the development of Manim, you can
   find information on how to get involved in our Contributing section.

 * And finally, the Code of Conduct page has a formal description of the rules
   you should abide by when interacting within our community.


SHARING YOUR WORK¶

We’d love to hear from you and see your manimations on Twitter, Reddit, or
Discord. If you’re using Manim in a scientific context, instructions on how to
cite a particular release can be found in our README.
