New User Tutorials

Everything a new user needs to know to get up and running with Algan.

Work through them in order the first time: each one builds on the previous. Afterwards they work as a stand alone reference for a particular topic.

If you have not installed Algan yet, start with Installation. If you already know Manim, Manim Migration Guide maps what you know onto Algan and is a faster route in.
