Pygame install issue: Unable to establish a new connection error [duplicate] - python

I am trying to use command pip install pygame in cmd, but there is error.
The error is shown as follows:
C:\Users\Administrator>pip install pygame
Collecting pygame
Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/80/2c/3a52e7e9c097229b026b4efbe6711c600f3a84ffdc5f11fd9e7f8932368e/pygame-1.9.6-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: pygame
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] 拒绝访问。: 'c:\\program files (x86)\\python37-32\\Lib\\site-packages\\pygame'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
You are using pip version 18.1, however version 19.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
I follow the instruction in the error but still cannot solve the problem. And I also found whatever "pip" command cannot be installed correctly.

You can install the package as Administrator, by following these steps:
1.Right click on the Command Prompt icon
2.Select the option: Run This Program As An Administrator
3.Run the command: pip install pygames
Instead of you can use the command
pip install --user pygames

The other answers didn't work for me. I checked this site and made sure that pip, setuptools, and ez_setup were installed at the latest versions. Still no luck. Finally, I discovered the magic words here:
pip install pygame --pre
Per this, --pre option tells pip to include pre-release versions of packages when searching for the latest version. Apparently that's what's needed as of this writing (2023-02-08).
(Thanks to accddd)

check if Pip was installed correctly by opening a command prompt and entering the following command:
pip -V
output should be like:
pip 18.0 from c:\users\administrator\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)
if pip is not install copy this file link and save it to setup.py
now open cmd and run script by typing
python setup.py
for more details check link.
when pip in install correctly install run this commond
python -m pip install -u pygame --user

For this, you have to install pygame package from the cmd (on Windows) or from the terminal (on mac). Just type pip install pygame.If it doesn't work for you, then try using this statement pip3 install pygame. If it is still showing an error then you don't have pip installed on your device and try installing pip first.

I'm trying to install Pygame. I am running Windows 7 with Enthought Python Distribution. I successfully installed pip, but when I try to install Pygame using pip, I get the following error:
"Could not install requirement Pygame because of HTTP error HTTP error
400: Bad request for URL ..."
I can't find anything about this issue with a Google search, but I did find another Stack Overflow question that prompted the asker to use the following command:
pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
This gave me the following error:
Cannot find command hg
I'm not sure what else to do, as everything I find with a Google search is for Mac, so I don't know how well I can follow those instructions on Windows.
Steps to install PyGame using pip
Install build dependencies (on linux):
sudo apt-get build-dep python-pygame
Install mercurial to use hg (on linux):
sudo apt-get install mercurial
On Windows you can use the installer: Download
Use pip to install PyGame:
pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
If the above gives freetype-config: not found error (on Linux), then try sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev and then repeat 3.
Alternative way:
# Grab source
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
# Finally build and install
cd pygame
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
Try doing this:
sudo apt-get install mercurial
sudo pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
An update to this may be required, as it stands in version 1.9.1 it should simply install using:
pip install pygame
However, it look like there is a bug with their pypi repository, see:
https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/59/pygame-has-no-pypi-page-and-cant-be
So, if you want the most recent release, you have to point directly at the ftp file ala:
pip install http://www.pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.1release.tar.gz
I suppose this will be fixed in the 1.9.2 release but for now this works.
I would note that the answer supplied by Pratyush works as well, but requires the user to install mercurial if they don't have it and downloads the trunk version, so really, not ideal unless you absolutely need it.
Caveat: I'm not familiar with the Enthought Distribution, so this might not help.
As you're trying to install on Windows, if you don't want to have to mess around with C compilers, there are pre-built binary wheels for pygame here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame
Select a package appropriate to you python version[0] and Windows architecture [1]. Download to C:\Users\User\Download\pip install E:\env\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl and install with pip install E:\env\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
Mercurial binaries can be found on the same page, if you would like to install from source. This method would mean compiling pygame from source, for which you probably want to use this compiler package.

The command below worked for me on Mac OS X El Capitan:
pip3 install pygame
Install on MAC:
brew install homebrew/python/pygame
Just
sudo pip install pygame
worked for me
Had this issue on macOS Sierra, where apt-get doesn't work.
Managed to solve the issue through the following steps:
First I had to install the Mercurial via Brew:
brew install mercurial
Then, I had to install Pygame dependencies:
brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf smpeg portmidi
Finally I used pip3 to install Pygame:
pip3 install pygame
Hope this helps!
Try
python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user
This worked twice for me on windows 7 and windows 10
The most current, the best way to install pygame is always available at:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted
How to use pip depends on the operating system. So unless you have always updated and tested answers for 15 different operating systems then just send people to that page. All answers to this question are wrong for various different operating systems.
Currently, for windows, this is the way to install it in the cmd prompt. (If you already have pip installed, and people know what pip is... best just send people to the GettingStarted page).
py -m pip install pygame --user
I did use these instructions here from the official site.
But i had to change the python3 part of the command to just py.
Try: python -m pip install pygame
Or: py -m pip install pygame
Try pip install pygame or pip3 install pygame.
These should work for you.
If this does not work for you put -m before pip and python before
-m.
If putting -m does not work try reinstalling python
If you are working on windows, the command below should work fine
pip install pygame
If you are working on Linux, the command below should work fine
sudo apt-get install python-pygame
Type this in command prompt
pip install pygame
or
py -m pip install pygame
WINDOWS
If you are on a windows 10 device then you should use this command but first make sure you have Python installed from https://python.org, if you do run this in command prompt
py --version
and then whatever version it says you have (which you downloaded) keep it in mind we will use it later for now just incase try to upgrade pip incase you are on a outdated version I will be using 3.9 for the version for the rest of this as an example
py -3.9 -m pip --upgrade pip
After that if you have it already satisfied or it upgraded run this command in command prompt
py -3.9 -m pip install pygame
And wait for it to download
And to make sure it worked run this
py -3.9 -m pygame --version
If it shows the version you downloaded it!
MacOS
For MacOS do the same but then run this command to install it
python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user
or if it wont work
py -3.9 -m pip install -U pygame --user ( or just pip3 )
to see if it worked run this
python3 -m pygame.examples.aliens
or
py -3.9 -m pygame.examples.aliens
I hope this helped
I have never used Enthought distribution, but you could try to use Anaconda distribution which is also great too.
Anaconda Distribution (Any OS):
From the docs:
Update conda to the current version.
Type the following:
conda update conda
If a newer version of conda is available, type y to update:
Proceed ([y]/n)? y
Check to see if a package you have not installed named
“pygame” is available from the Anaconda repository (must be
connected to the Internet):
conda search pygame
Conda displays a list of all packages with
that name on the Anaconda repository, so we know it is available.
Install this package into the current environment:
conda install pygame
Check to see if the newly installed
program is in this environment:
conda list
Install on Windows (both python 2.7 and 3.7):
pip install pygame
Install on raspberry pi:
sudo pip3 install pygame (python 3.7)
sudo pip install pygame (python 2.7)
I think if you go to Command Prompt and type
py -m pip install pygame
that's what works for me
Here is a way: sudo install pygame Rasberry pi has it ready-installed
Install python 3.8 from python.org
Then install pygame (2.0) like this
pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev10
Make sure script path is registered in environment variables,
Make sure the python path is registered in environment variables,
also you dont have to enter entire url just write like this(windows only I dont use mac)
pip
pip install pygame
hope it work
command to install pygame is:
pip install pygame
run it in command prompt
Try doing this for python3:
python3 -m pip install pygame==1.9.6
and this for python2:
python -m pip install pygame==1.9.6
You don't have to type in the entire url. Just simply go to command prompt (windows) or terminal (mac) and then type in:
[windows] pip install pygame
[mac] python -m install pygame
hopefully that works :)
To install pygame with pip, use the following commands in the Command Prompt on Windows.
py -m pip download pygame
then...
py -m pip install pygame
You only have to do the download pygame one if it doesn't work when you use the install pygame command by itself.
You type py -m to show that it is using the module pip, which can be accessed through the command prompt.
This is for Windows. For Mac OS, use python -m pip install pygame
I know that there are already lot's of answers, but if you want to download a specific version of pygame, you can use pip:
pip install pygame==1.9.6
Pygame 1.9.6 is the latest version at the time of writing.
Pygame tells you how to install it here, in my personal experience this is what I do on windows to install it, open up command prompt and type python -m pip install pygame if that fails, check if you have more than one version of python installed if so you need to specify what version for example python3.5 -m pip install pygame the reason we do this from command prompt is that in the Python shell it doesn't understand what pip install is just to break it down a little python -m calls a python module in this case we want pip the next two arguments are what we want pip to do and what module/addon we want the action to be applied too

Installing collected packages: pygame

Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
You are using pip version 18.1, however version 19.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
I follow the instruction in the error but still cannot solve the problem. And I also found whatever "pip" command cannot be installed correctly.
You can install the package as Administrator, by following these steps:
1.Right click on the Command Prompt icon
2.Select the option: Run This Program As An Administrator
3.Run the command: pip install pygames
Instead of you can use the command
pip install --user pygames
The other answers didn't work for me. I checked this site and made sure that pip, setuptools, and ez_setup were installed at the latest versions. Still no luck. Finally, I discovered the magic words here:
pip install pygame --pre
Per this, --pre option tells pip to include pre-release versions of packages when searching for the latest version. Apparently that's what's needed as of this writing (2023-02-08).
(Thanks to accddd)
check if Pip was installed correctly by opening a command prompt and entering the following command:
pip -V
output should be like:
pip 18.0 from c:\users\administrator\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)
if pip is not install copy this file link and save it to setup.py
now open cmd and run script by typing
python setup.py
for more details check link.
when pip in install correctly install run this commond
python -m pip install -u pygame --user
For this, you have to install pygame package from the cmd (on Windows) or from the terminal (on mac). Just type pip install pygame.If it doesn't work for you, then try using this statement pip3 install pygame. If it is still showing an error then you don't have pip installed on your device and try installing pip first.

How do I install Pygame with pip in Python 3.4?

I have tried commands like
pip install pygame
or
pip install 'Pygame == 1.9.1release' --allow-external Pygame --allow- unverified Pygame
suggested in other threads but and similars but they don't seem to work for me. Help me, please.
I did this in Ubuntu and it worked for me with Python 3.4:
I ran a command which apparently upgraded pip and setuptools to the latest version, according to this guide in the docs, but did it as a superuser. It might end up not being strictly necessary:
sudo pip install -U pip setuptools
Then, I ran the install command for Pygame as a superuser as well:
sudo pip install pygame
In Windows
1.open CMD
2.Path should locate where pip is installed for me it is C:\Users\qwrht\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>
if python is in other directory follow steps in link CMD command to change directories
3.getting to the right path where pip is installed use command
**pip install pygame.**in CMD
4.after Downloading pygame current version, Successfully installed pygame message will be displayed
