binder build for jupyter-manim

[emonhossainraihan]

I was trying to create a binder build for jupyter-manim. I was expecting to execute all custom animation which I create with 3b1b/manim. As it need a lot of installation (for me, I was unable to set up manim in my Ubuntu 20.04), I was thinking to use binder as an alternative. But I got the following error when I use %%manim CustomAnimation:

/home/jovyan/jupyter_manim/__init__.py:302: UserWarning: Could not find path in the manim output
  warn('Could not find path in the manim output')
/tmp/tmpb6smavun.py:39: UserWarning: Import from notebook: name already in the globals(), skipping
  warn('Import from notebook: ' + name + ' already in the globals(), skipping')

Exception: Latex error converting to dvi. See log output above or the log file: /home/jovyan/media/Tex/fa57ceb432d6961f.log

Is there any way to build this as ManimCommunity has one. I have some discussion on this on Reddit

It might be useful indeed. The error you got just tells you that you have not installed appropriate latex packages on binder.
