I did pip install manim and got an error:

  
  × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> See above for output.
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> See above for output.

Then I tried !pip install manimce and got an exception:

Exception: You have installed Manim from `manimce` PyPI package which is deprecated and no longer updated. Please uninstall `manimce` and install Manim from `manim` PyPI package.

Plz help...

pip install manimce is definitely wrong and refers to an outdated version of Manim.

Regarding your error during pip install manim it should tell you where the problem lies, i.e. which Python package could not be installed.

I have no experience with Colab, but other users on the ManimCE Discord server do... Where can I find more resources for learning Manim?

Ok to give the definitive answer here: it is in the ManimCE online documentation, in order to get a full install including LaTeX you need to run the following commands:

!sudo apt update
!sudo apt install libcairo2-dev ffmpeg \
    texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra \
    texlive-latex-recommended texlive-science \
    tipa libpango1.0-dev
!pip install manim
!pip install IPython --upgrade

Solution

This may be happening because you didn't install the requirements to run manim.

Edit: My bad for the previous answer. Try this instead:

Correct Solution

!sudo apt update
!sudo apt install libcairo2-dev ffmpeg texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-recommended texlive-science tipa libpango1.0-dev
!pip install manim
!pip install IPython --upgrade

After finishing this, a prompt for restarting runtime will appear below the cell.

Restart the runtime, skip the cell above, and start using manim by executing from manim import *

Ignore and do not follow. This answer of a similar past question might help.

Solution described (and modified according to Google Colab's format):

!apt-get install sox ffmpeg libcairo2 libcairo2-dev
!apt-get install texlive-full
!pip install manim
