It's a Python package which is used by Manim and is not automatically pre-installed in some versions of Python. It should be easily installable by using the following command on the terminal: pip install setuptools

Okay - after closing the terminal and opening a new terminal window, apparently it worked :p

I am trying to install Manim community edition on my Mac (Apple M2 Pro chip). I have followed the guide for installation https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/installation/macos.html but I get the same error when running

manim -pql scene.py CreateCircle in the terminal i get

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin/manim", line 5, in <module> from manim.__main__ import main File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/manim/__init__.py", line 6, in <module> import pkg_resources ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

It looks like the module 'pkg_resources' is not found. I have tried to run:

pip3 install setuptools

and setuptools is also seen in pip3 list:

When I run pip3 -VI get pip 23.3.2 from /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)

which is also what I am supposed to get according to the installation tutorial note.

Thx for your help :)
