%%manim not found

[bwanaaa]

I properly installed manim and can get the example_scenes.py to render. I properly installed jupyter manim and conda list shows it: jupyter-manim 0.11 pypi_0 pypi

I started jupyter notebook from a terminal initiated from within the manim folder I entered this in the first cell:

%%manim Shapes
from manimlib.scene.scene import Scene
from manimlib.mobject.geometry import Circle
from manimlib.animation.creation import ShowCreation

class Shapes(Scene):

    def construct(self):
        circle = Circle()
        self.play(ShowCreation(circle))

and got UsageError: Cell magic %%manim not found.

Did you import jupyter_manim in a cell before?

Happy to help! Thanks for letting me know, I missed this in the description. I changed the usage section in README to make it more obvious.

I can't hit play:

For Colab you need --base64, please read the README file.

Specifically, you would need to replace %%manim Shapes with %%manim Shapes --base64.
