LaTeX Installation
******************
You can install latex by either of the two methods below. MiKTex is very large (2 GB) while TinyTex is small (500Mb).
You can install latex by either of the two methods below. MiKTex is very large (2 GB) while ManimLaTeX is small (500Mb).

Using a custom distribution for Manim based on Texlive
------------------------------------------------------

This is the smallest latex distribution just enough to run Manim. Extra latex packages for fonts can be
installed using ``tlmgr``. See https://www.tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html for more information.

1. Install chocolatey if you haven't already.

2. Run the following command

.. code-block:: powershell

choco install manim-latex

3. Finally, check whether it installed properly by running an example scene.

Using MiKTex

2. You can check if you did it right by running ``refreshenv`` to update your
environment variable and running ``latex``.

Using TinyTex
-------------

1. Save the batch file `install-windows.bat
<https://yihui.org/gh/tinytex/tools/install-windows.bat>`_. (open this link and press Ctrl + S).

.. note:: Please note that it requires PowerShell (at least version 3.0).

2. Double click the file and it opens a command prompt. There might be an error
dialog or two about ``luatex.dll`` during the installation `(like this)
<https://db.yihui.org/images/install-tl-win-lua.png>`_, but that does not seem to hurt, and click “OK”. The installation directory is ``%APPDATA%/TinyTeX``, where APPDATA is an environment variable that typically points to the path ``C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming``

3.Finally, close the terminal and open a new one and type the below commands.

.. code-block:: bash
