Trying to install it right now and wow it is taking some time. Running 'brew install Pango scipy' is taking more than 5 minutes(still counting). I knows its a one time process but still. The number of dependencies can be reduced I guess.
Yes I feel your pain with Homebrew which can take forever just to check for updates on installed packages, before it even gets to installing anything new.
I know the current installation method of having to first install Manim's dependencies is not ideal, but in most of my testing it was relatively painless.
However going forward I am going to be looking for ways to make it a single install instead of various steps that differ across platforms.
So far seems good, initially i was getting some very slow animation times but adding the `--low-quality` flag seems to work well.
I am planning to do an internal session in my company on Git, and will be using this tool to help them visualise some of the concepts :)
Yes --low-quality works for testing but the fastest way would be to first test without the --animate flag at all, so you just get a final image of the command's effect.
Then once you get that you can add the --animate flag to generate your final video to share.
And awesome to hear it will be used for your company session! I love teaching people about Git. Feel free to share the tool with them so they can try it out as well!
