Linux Users

Below aee some packages we need to install to use manim as manim heavily relies on them : Cairo,sox, Latex andffmpeg

sudo apt install ffmpeg sox
sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev

Install Manim within a virtual environment to avoid package conflicts

I highly prefer Windows user to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for Manim
