Running a Presentation

Each presentation is pre-rendered. You only need manim-slides to present.

1. Install the presenter

pip install "manim-slides[pyqt6]"

2. Navigate to the folder and present

cd pValue
manim-slides present PValue

Use → / Space to advance, ← / Backspace to go back, Escape to quit.

Re-rendering from Source

If you want to modify a presentation and re-render it:

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• TeX Live (for LaTeX rendering)
• ffmpeg (for video encoding)

cd pValue

# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate          # Windows
# source .venv/bin/activate     # macOS / Linux

# Install dependencies
pip install manim "manim-slides[pyqt6]"

# Render, then present
manim-slides render pvalue_slides.py PValue
manim-slides present PValue

Note: The first render is slow because LaTeX compiles every maths expression from scratch. Subsequent renders reuse the cache and are much faster.
