^{Originally posted by CharlieGao2009 February 10, 2024} When I run manimgl in command prompt, the following error occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code
  File "C:\Users\gao\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts\manimgl.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module>

    from manimlib import __version__
ImportError: cannot import name '__version__' from 'manimlib' (C:\Users\gao\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages\manimlib\__init__.py)

Could anybody help me solve this? Thank you very much :D

I'm sorry for replying too late, but you maybe can run pip install setuptools (in Windows) or pip3 install setuptools (in MacOS/Linux) and that should solve your problem.

You have probably downloaded manimgl from pypi (using pip install manimgl). In that case, you will need Python 3.10 or less. The release of manimgl in pypi is 2+ years old and doesn't support new versions of Python and numpy. If you want the latest, clone the repository (you don't need to fork it) and run the commands to install it from the repo. (See Readme.md). But be aware that the repo is not stable.

I think the best solution for this problem if you are using linux / MacOS is using virtual environment

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install manim manimlib

This should work.

Can you tell us which manimgl version you have installed?
