"can't open file 'extract_scene.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory" error on a macbook pro

[jgcolman]

I am working through Brian Howell's very clear tutorial on how to get started. I get stuck at the Step 9 with the command:

python3 extract_scene.py example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -pl

Which evokes the following response:

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'extract_scene.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

It is clear that it is looking in the wrong place for the file but I have no idea how to tell it where it should be looking.

I am on a mid-2014 MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.1. I am very experienced with R but have not used Python or Terminal.

Many thanks Elteoremadebeethoven, Something happened, but I still have problems.

python3 -m pip install -r requieriments.txt

the requieriments.txt file is in the manim-master folder.

I met the same question. The extract_scene.py is in manimlib, python3 manimlib/extract_scene.py example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -pl , but it errors :ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'manimlib'. And I met the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'colour' error too. If you solved the errors, can you tell me how to do?

@scuasmq python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

@jgcolman Did you find a solution to this problem? I am running into the exact same issue.

you should install the manimlib link to global path or keep it under your directory
