Problem with manim, manimlib file missing

Question

I installed manim and it succesfuly renders videos that dont use LaTeX. When I try rendering LaTeX i get this error:

latex error converting to dvi.

Ive seen some people recommending to run:

latex tex_template.tex

In the manimlib file, however I dont have such file which I suspect is causing the problem. What might be the reason Im missing this file and how could i get it?

I tried searching for it through all the files and I couldnt find it, after uninstallling and installing I still could not find it.

Run it in verbose mode. Extract a [mcve]. Check the bugtracker. If that's a supported operation and doesn't work, file a bug ticket. — Ulrich Eckhardt, Jun 28 '22 at 09:35

You have Tex_Template.tex, but your path is wrong to look at https://github.com/3b1b/manim/issues/623#issuecomment-515730122

this could also be why you are getting latex error converting to dvi. also...

I changed the Path variable and it didnt change anything. Is that the fix you meant? – sean python Jun 27 '22 at 16:47
yea, change the path and restart the computer... this should solve the issue at hand. – Gimdor Jun 27 '22 at 17:12
After restarting the computer it still didn't work. – sean python Jun 27 '22 at 18:28
try running a force update using the command "tlmgr update --self --all --reinstall-forcibly-removed" – Gimdor Jun 28 '22 at 05:15
