Description

Hello people,
I think it's wonderful that 3b1b makes its videos available to us in this form as well.
I have a basic problem. I can't render any of the shown videos projects myself. But that is up to me. Now to my problem.
I have cloned the git and installed manim. FMPEG and Latex are also installed and all working. Manim should also work according to my current knowledge, yet I'm doing something wrong.

## Example
As an example I would like to use now simply times the video. Here is the YouTube link to it.

## What I have done so far
image
I have the git in its original state and have not made any changes to it.
After that I change with cd to the corresponding folder. For the example this would be the folder "_2020".

now i try to compile it with manimgl. As I learned in #10, I should not take the community version but the one from @3b1b itself. Ok. Then I do this

## My proposed solutions
In the issue #10 it was recommended to put the python sktipt in the same folder where the import_py is located. i did that and tried to compile it again.
But there the same error occurs as above. What am I doing fundamentally wrong?

## My Setup
Enclosed still my version data.

And also the Python version.

Even if I don't know if it helps, I still give technical data about my system

I use Windows 11 with 64 bit and have a WSL2 running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Well. In any case, I hope I have indicated everything correctly and have not embarrassed myself too much. Hopefully you can help me.

With kind regards
Riffecx
