Conda

Required Dependencies

There are several package managers that work with conda packages, namely conda <https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/download.html>, mamba <https://mamba.readthedocs.io> and pixi <https://pixi.sh>__.

After installing your package manager, you can create a new environment and install manim inside by running

.. tab-set::

.. tab-item:: conda / mamba

  .. code-block:: bash

     # 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

.. tab-item:: pixi

  .. code-block:: bash

     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 :doc:in our local installation guide </installation/uv>.

Working with Manim

At this point, you should have a working installation of Manim, head over to our :doc:Quickstart Tutorial <../tutorials/quickstart> to learn how to make your own Manimations!
