Fedora 33 : First steps with manim.

Manim is an engine for precise programmatic animations, designed for creating explanatory math videos like 3Blue1Brown. 

The documentation can be found on this webpage. 

First, install with the DNF tool all packages:

[root@desk manim_Projects]# dnf install cairo-devel pango-devel ffmpeg python3-devel 
texlive-scheme-medium texlive-standalone.noarch texlive-collection-latexextra.noarch

Nothing to do.
Complete!

Use pip tool to install manim and manimlib.

[mythcat@desk manim_Projects]$ pip install manim
...
[mythcat@desk manim_Projects]$ pip install manimlib
...

You can use --user option argument. A default example from the doc area can be a good test.

from manim import * 

config.background_color = DARK_GRAY
class MovingFrame(Scene):
     def construct(self):
        # Write equations
        equation = MathTex("2x^2-5x+2", "=", "(x-2)(2x-1)")

        # Create animation
        self.play(Write(equation))

        # Add moving frames
        framebox1 = SurroundingRectangle(equation[0], buff=.1)
        framebox2 = SurroundingRectangle(equation[2], buff=.1)

        # Create animations
        self.play(Create(framebox1))  # creating the frame

        self.wait()
        # replace frame 1 with frame 2
        self.play(ReplacementTransform(framebox1, framebox2))
    
        self.wait()

I run it well:

[mythcat@desk manim_Projects]$ /home/mythcat/.local/bin/manim -pl -ql -i follow_me_textxt.py 

This is the result:
