### Obtaining the dependencies on Windows
The easiest way to obtain the [FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/),
[rsvg-convert](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/LibRsvg) and
[ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org/index.php) dependencies on Windows is to
use the [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) installation that comes with `stack` and
is on the path in the `stack exec` environment, and its package manager
`pacman`. The MSYS2 `librsvg` package provides `rsvg-convert.exe`.
```
> stack exec -- pacman --sync --refresh
> stack exec -- pacman --sync mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg
> stack exec -- pacman --sync mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-librsvg
> stack exec -- pacman --sync mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-imagemagick
```
However, readily-available versions of FFmpeg on Windows have not been built
with the `--enable-librsvg` option. So, the `Has ffmpeg(rsvg)` dependency will
be `no` on Windows.
Windows versions of [POV-Ray](http://www.povray.org/),
[Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/), and [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) can
be downloaded and installed and the folders containing the executables added to
the `PATH` environment variable.
The [MiKTeX project](https://miktex.org/) provides a modern TeX distribution for
Windows, which also includes the [`dvisvgm` tool](https://dvisvgm.de/). The
folder containing the executables must be added to the `PATH` environment
variable. The `ctex` package (for Chinese typesetting) requires the `SimHei`
font, which is provided by the Windows Language Pack for Chinese (Simplified,
China).
## Rendering animations
**reanimate** has builtin support for rendering animations to video files and
