Why does Manim meet problems with latex

Question

I am trying to run very basic Latex but I meet error. Does somebody know how to fix it?

code:

from manimlib import *
class TexTransformExample(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        munis=Tex(r'\munis')
        self.add(munis)

and here is the error

'latex' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ERROR:root:

LaTeX Error! Not a worry, it happens to the best of us.
