Manim Slides is commited to be an easy-to-use tool, with minimal installation

## Target Audience
Manim Slides was developed with the goal of making educational content more
accessible than ever. We believe that researchers, professors, teaching
assistants and anyone else who needs to teach scientific content can benefit
from using this tool. The ability to pace your presentation yourself is

Depending on the programs available, the power of the target computer,
or the access to the internet, not all solutions are equal.

[Sharing your slides](https://jeertmans.github.io/manim-slides/reference/sharing.html)
page.
