Manim sideview was working just fine when i first install it, but then i try to tidy up my library and this error occurred. I think I might have accidentally delete something, but I don't remember what exactly i deleted. Not sure what i did wrong here and I don't understand what the error mean. When i click the sideview button, this just popped up in the terminal, can anyone please explain to me what's going on and how to fix this? Tysm. Screenshot 2024-07-16 230805

Seems more like a manim specific issue rather than an issue that is related to this extension. Can you run manim manually in your terminal? manim "c:\Users\emily\Documents\practice\example1" Scene1

If that does not work, you should go ahead and reinstall manim.

i have ran it manually and reinstalled manim too, but the error remains. Is there anything else i can do?

does running manually work?

How did you install Manim? This seems like an issue of the manim executable not being on path.

Then you firstly need to find out how to even run manim locally.

There should be guides on this online, you can also try to use a different installation method if you current one does not work.

The official docs lists a bunch of different methods: https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/installation/windows.html
