Modifying requirements.txt to include the latest version of IPython.

[TangentSquared]

Motivation

I opened cmd and typed manimgl, as expected, a window was created. However, while typing any python code in the shell, the following error was raised:

While digging into the issue, i found that the manim library is not compatible with some versions of IPython (i got the error with version 8.14.0 and 8.16.0).
a past question at stackoverflow also confirmed the same.
The solution was to simply upgrade IPython to the latest version pip install ipython --upgrade

Proposed changes

• Changed requirements.txt to include ipython>=8.18.0. This makes sure that the compatible version of ipython is installed with the manimgl library.

Test

open cmd and type pip install ipython==8.14.0.
after the process is complete, install the modified version of manimgl
while the package is being installed, notice that in one of the steps, the latest version of ipython is also installed.

Good to know, and sorry you had to go through that process.
