## Installation
**Install ManimGL**

```
pip install manimgl
```


## Running it
**Run the example scene**

```
manimgl example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample
```


## What does this tool do?
This entry covers ManimGL from the 3b1b repository. It is used to create explanatory animations for mathematical concepts in code. Manim Community Edition is a separate fork and project, so its installation instructions must not be mixed with ManimGL.

## Who it is for
Educators, students and content creators who want to explain mathematical concepts with programmed animations.

## What not to expect
People looking for a drag-and-drop animation tool or specifically wanting to install Manim Community Edition.

## Highlights
- Programmatic animation for explanatory math videos.
- Runs with Python 3.10+.
- Uses OpenGL as part of its system requirements.
- MIT license.

## First-use flow
- Prepare Python 3.10 or newer, FFmpeg and the OpenGL requirements.
- Install LaTeX if you plan to use it; on Linux, also install the Pango development headers.
- Run `pip install manimgl` in your terminal.
- Test the installation with `manimgl example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample`.

## Safe start

## First task prompt
Can you help me write a simple ManimGL scene in which a circle transforms into a square?
