Shows BrokenPipeError while writing frames

When I finished downloading everything, I tried to render the example scene on my mac, but it showed an error. Below is the terminal message:

(base) situjianfeideMacBook-Air:manim situjianfei$ manim example_scenes.py SquareToCircle

Anyone who has the same problem?

Yes, I have the exact same problem. Mine prints: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/henry/Desktop/ManimInstall/manim-master/manimlib/extract_scene.py", line 155, in main scene = SceneClass(**scene_kwargs) File "/Users/henry/Desktop/ManimInstall/manim-master/manimlib/scene/scene.py", line 75, in __init__ self.construct() File "example_scenes.py", line 111, in construct self.play(Write(example_text)) File "/Users/henry/Desktop/ManimInstall/manim-master/manimlib/scene/scene.py", line 848, in wrapper func(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/Users/henry/Desktop/ManimInstall/manim-master/manimlib/scene/scene.py", line 944, in play self.progress_through_animations(animations) File "/Users/henry/Desktop/ManimInstall/manim-master/manimlib/scene/scene.py", line 901, in progress_through_animations self.add_frames(self.get_frame()) File "/Users/henry/Desktop/ManimInstall/manim-master/manimlib/scene/scene.py", line 1135, in add_frames self.file_writer.write_frame(frame) File "/Users/henry/Desktop/ManimInstall/manim-master/manimlib/scene/scene_file_writer.py", line 336, in write_frame self.writing_process.stdin.write(frame.tostring()) BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Did you correctly install FFMPEG ? To check run ffmpeg --version.

@huguesdevimeux You found the error, but I can't solve it. It says Segmentation fault: 11. No matter how I reinstall it, the error still appears. Maybe I'll try manim on another PC :(
