Manim: Exception: Latex error converting to dvi. See log output above or the log file...

[abecus]

code that I was running
"python -m manim by_me.py AddingText -pl"

error
"Sorry, but latex did not succeed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

@abecus I made a fork that solves this issue. You can ignore the installation requirements that I modified. It basically involved putting double quotes around the paths to solve the problem. I suspect that the space in "ABDUL BASID" is causing the problem as the OS splits commands separated by spaces. Putting the path in double quotes tells the OS to treat the path string as one whole argument.

indeed it worked by just changing the "tex_file_writing.py" file to yours.
thank you very much!!!

that was pain bro...

I met the same problem like yours, and I searched the Stack Overflow. I installed MIkTex, this problem has been solved. I think this problem is caused by lack of font library.

Hey I am getting the same problem. Can anyone guide me how to go about things. Please use simple words. I am slow at absorbing things

[GolemHerry]

It will be very easy if you use docker to deploy the development environment for manim.

[sraut92]

can you please share the steps on how to do that?

[GolemHerry]

my env

root@golemECS2:~# uname -a
Linux golemECS2 4.15.0-72-generic #81-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 26 12:20:02 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Steps

• Install docker and docker-compose
  Refer to docker and docker-compose
• Set envionment variables INPUT_PATH and OUTPUT_PATH
shell root@golemECS2:~# cd ~ && cat << EOF > .bashrc export INPUT_PATH=/root/manim/code export OUTPUT_PATH=/root/manim/output EOF
• test
  shell git clone https://github.com/3b1b/manim.git && cd manim cp example_scenes.py docker-compose.yml $INPUT_PATH && cd $INPUT_PATH docker-compose run manim example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -l

[sraut92]

Thanks for the reply. Will try
