The problem I am getting is in code similar to this example: https://matplotlib.org/examples/animation/basic_example_writer.html

The error:

Runt

Answer 1

Try to specify path to ffpmeg program manually like

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams['animation.ffmpeg_path'] = '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg'

You have to put these code lines at the beginning of a script and then use animation Writer.
