Installation
============
Manim has a few dependencies that need to be installed before it can be used.
The following pages have instructions that are specific to your system. Once
you are done installing the dependencies, come back to this page to install
manim itself.
.. note::
Before installing manim, you should understand that there are a few main versions of manim
today that are generally incompatible with each other.
This documentation **only** covers the installation of the *community edition*;
trying to use instructions intended for other versions of manim or vice versa will likely result in failure.
In particular, most video tutorials are outdated. For more information, please read :doc:`Differences between Manim Versions <installation/versions>`.
.. tip::
In case that you want to try manim online without installation, open it in
`Binder <https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/ManimCommunity/jupyter_examples/HEAD?filepath=basic_example_scenes.ipynb>`_.

Installing Manim
****************
Manim-Community runs on Python 3.6+. If you'd like to just use the library, you
can install it from PyPI via pip:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install manim
You can replace ``pip`` with ``pip3`` if you need to in your system.
Alternatively, you can work with Manim using our Docker image that can be
found at `Docker Hub <https://hub.docker.com/r/manimcommunity/manim>`_.
