matplotlib depends on ffmpeg to save animations, but ffmpeg is annoying to install. other options?

jeremymanning commented 7 years ago

this is easy to install with homebrew (at least on macs):

brew install ffmpeg

(seems to work on my computer)

so we could add this to the readme and then close this issue...

we could also add instructions for installing homebrew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
