Question

I am trying to install Manim in my elementary OS . After installing when i tried to open the example_scenes.py by python3.7 -m manim example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -pl , i am getting the following error :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.7/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", mod_spec) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/home/zarif98sjs/InstallManim/manim_3Feb/manim.py", line 3, in <module> import manimlib.extract_scene File "/home/zarif98sjs/InstallManim/manim_3Feb/manimlib/extract_scene.py", line 9, in <module> from manimlib.scene.scene import Scene File "/home/zarif98sjs/InstallManim/manim_3Feb/manimlib/scene/scene.py", line 8, in <module> from manimlib.animation.animation import Animation File "/home/zarif98sjs/InstallManim/manim_3Feb/manimlib/animation/animation.py", line 6, in <module> from manimlib.mobject.mobject import Mobject File "/home/zarif98sjs/InstallManim/manim_3Feb/manimlib/mobject/mobject.py", line 8, in <module> from colour import Color ImportError: cannot import name 'Color' from 'colour' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/colour/__init__.py)

I tried sudo pip3 install colour and sudo pip3 install color but still facing the same issue . Any idea how to resolve this issue ?

Answer 1

I got help from Manim discord community and solved this using python -m pip install color and python -m pip install colour . The problem was happening because of 2 version of python installed and pip was not referring to the correct version

Answer 2

I solved it by copying the module colour.py from the python2 directory to the python3 directory? took me weeks of trying things out to fix it

''' sudo cp /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/colour.py /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/colour.py '''
