To get the up and running, install the following dependencies:

1. Meson - pip install meson
2. ninja - pip install ninja
3. Python - sudo apt install python3-dev (with dev headers)
4. Cairo - sudo apt install libcairo2-dev

Then, run the following commands:

1. meson setup builddir # This will create a build directory, called builddir
2. meson compile -C builddir # This will compile the project
3. Set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the builddir/manim_renderer directory as well as builddir/subprojects/pycairo/cairo directory.
4. Run any command you want.

I would recommend configuring VSCode with compile_command.json from builddir directory. This will allow you to get autocompletion and other features.
