Description

Discussed in https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/discussions/2127

Originally posted by NicoWeio October 2, 2021
Today, I spent a few hours trying to automate the setup of a dev environment for Manim using gitpod.io, taking inspiration from https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml and https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/docker/Dockerfile.
While I was able to build/execute Manim in the generated container after some tries, I can't get it quite right.

Do you agree that providing a Gitpod (or GitHub Codespaces in the future) configuration is a good idea? In this case, can someone with more experience in Manim/Gitpod/Docker build a proper one? :)

Research direction

Start by reviewing .github/workflows/ci.yml and docker/Dockerfile, which the issue identifies as references for the development environment. Determine the missing Gitpod setup needed to build and execute Manim in the generated container; done means the configuration reliably provides that working environment.
