See [#314](https://github.com/jeertmans/manim-slides/issues/314).
Also, note that ManimGL uses outdated dependencies, and may
not work out-of-the-box. One example is NumPy: ManimGL
does not specify any restriction on this package, but
only `numpy<1.25` will work, see

## Optional Dependencies
## Optional dependencies
Along with the optional dependencies for Manim and ManimGL,
Manim Slides offers additional *extras*, that can be activated
using optional dependencies:
- `full`, to include `magic`, `manim`, `manimgl`, and
`sphinx-directive` extras (see below);
- `magic`, to include a Jupyter magic to render
animations inside notebooks. This automatically installs `manim`,
and does not work with ManimGL;
- `manim` and `manimgl`, for installing the corresponding
dependencies;
- `pyqt6` to include PyQt6 Qt bindings. Those bindings are available
on most platforms and Python version, but produce a weird black
screen between slide with `manim-slides present`,
see [#QTBUG-118501](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-118501);
- `pyqt6-full` to include `full` and `pyqt6`;
- `pyside6` to include PySide6 Qt bindings. Those bindings are available
on most platforms and Python version, except on Python 3.12[^2];
- `pyside6-full` to include `full` and `pyside6`;
- `sphinx-directive`, to generate presentation inside your Sphinx
documentation. This automatically installs `manim`,

[^2]: Actually, PySide6 can be installed on Python 3.12, but you will then
observe the same visual bug as with PyQt6.
## Install From Repository
## When you need a Qt backend
Before `v5.1`, Manim Slides automatically included PySide6 as
a Qt backend. As only `manim-slides present` and `manim-slides wizard`
command need a graphical library, and installing PySide6 on all platforms
and Python version can be sometimes complicated, Manim Slides chooses
**not to include** any Qt backend.
The use can choose between PySide6 (best) and PyQt6, depending on their
availability and licensing rules.
As of `v5.1`, you **need** to have Qt bindings installed to use
`manim-slides present` or `manim-slides wizard`. The recommended way to
install those are via optional dependencies, as explained above.
## Install from source
An alternative way to install Manim Slides is to clone the git repository,
and install from there: read the
and build the package from source. Read the
[contributing guide](./contributing/workflow)
to know how to process.

Put simply, this is a wrapper around
