Starter example missing log file

[elliottower]

Describe the bug

Just a minor bug, seems that the starter example references a log file which isn't included in the repo. Probably an easy fix.

Code:

I tried both manim-render example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample and manimgl example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample, the first two commands the README says to test out

Wrong display or Error traceback:

Here's the full error:

Getting the same error on Windows 11 after following step by step the installation instructions:

-Installed FFmpeg -Installed MiKTeX according to provided instructions in the link -Installed manimgl with pip install -e .

Verified that latex is correctly installed by checking latex -version on the command line.

What I found worked for me (mac):

Run sudo tlmgr install standalone

Also these others may help:

sudo tlmgr update --self sudo tlmgr install amsmath amssymb dvisvgm cm-super sudo tlmgr install collection-latexrecommended sudo tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended sudo tlmgr install standalone sudo tlmgr install preview sudo tlmgr install doublestroke sudo tlmgr install relsize sudo tlmgr install fundus-calligra sudo tlmgr install physics

If tlmgr is not found, run: echo 'export PATH="/Library/TeX/texbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc\n (to add to path)
