Hi,
I am trying to get into animations using the Plots package. I am following this tutorial: Animations · Plots
However when trying to execute the program I get the following error:

ERROR: LoadError: failed process: Process(`/home/olep/.julia/artifacts/7f40eeb66d90d3026ae5fb68761c263b57adb840/bin/ffmpeg -v 16 -framerate 3 -i /tmp/jl_h1sGUw/%06d.png -i /tmp/jl_h1sGUw/palette.bmp -lavfi paletteuse=dither=sierra2_4a -loop 0 -y /home/olep/Documents/Studium/Semester2/tutorial_anim_fps30.gif`, ProcessSignaled(11)) [0]

I am on manjaro (Arch linux).
Any ideas what’s going wrong?

Have a look here, I had the same Issue and someone of the JuliaPlots Developers could help.
