Create a test to certify a clean install
See original GitHub issue_Originally posted by @eulertour in https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/issues/9#issuecomment-631002056_
Basically something to dry-run a Scene, ensure that the bare minimum to render successfully is actually installed, and give a helpful error like LaTeX/FFmpeg isn’t installed, media directory isn’t writable, etc.
Having done this, the correct way to install manim would be pip install manim, and then pytest test_install.py. (Or the equivalent in the testing library that we end up using.)
This would flag issues about system dependencies such as latex, ffmpeg, etc.

@naveen521kk all tests should be done via pytest, as much as possible.
I think the current documentation does a good job at guiding the user through the whole installation process.
I think this issue has ran its course.
