pip used to work fine until recently. First I was trying to install a pip-package using
pip install -e [some-git-link]
and I get the error
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/me/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-19.0.1.dist-info/METADATA'
I then cd'ed into site-packages and the folder is empty. Indeed, I have pip installed in dis-packages and its version is 18.1, not 19.0!
I tried to update pip through
pip install -U pip
but I get the same error.
Typing
pip --version
I get
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/init.py:83: RequestsDependencyWarning: Old version of cryptography ([1, 2, 3]) may cause slowdown.
warnings.warn(warning, RequestsDependencyWarning)
pip 18.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip (python 2.7)
so it seems that pip 18.1 is installed. Indeed, if I try
sudo apt-get install python-pip
I get
python-pip is already the newest version (8.1.1-2ubuntu0.4).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 62 not upgraded.
I was wondering if all these problems were coming from the warning on the cryptography, and so I tried to do
sudo pip install --upgrade cryptography
but obviously I go back to the same Environment Error.
Thou shalt not use sudo with pip. Using sudo with pip is asking for trouble. When you do that you are having pip and your OS's package manager get into a fight. When they fight no one wins, least of all your Python installation and personal sanity. I know countless tutorials tell you to sudo pip install, but they are not your friends. The only safe and reliable way to maintain a functional Python installation is to let your OS's package manager manage what it wants to manage and either use pip install --user or virtual environments (using either virtualenv or optionally python -m venv if you're on Python 3).
I really can't stress enough that you will constantly be running into little weird things (and occasional catastrophic problems) within your Python installation if you persistently sudo install things. Learn to love virtual environments! You can even modify your shell's PATH so that things you install in an environment are available as commands (which is commonly why people think they need sudo pip install).
You could test to update PythonOpenSSL :
$ sudo python -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSL
If not Ok, please do :
$ sudo pip install --upgrade cryptography
But error with : $ sudo pip
So do after :
$ sudo python -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSL
Have Fun,

I was getting this error trying to install packages while building a Docker image (with python:3.8 as base). Upgrading pyOpenSSL as #Johan MRe suggested solved it for me.
RUN python3 -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSL
How to deal with "Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError" when upgrade pip
First run command line in Administration mode both window and OS:
Next,
For windows: use this command to upgrade pip
python -m pip install --user --upgrade pip
For MacOS:
sudo python -m pip install --user --upgrade pip
I got a message in my terminal while install a software : You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 10.0.0 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
So I upgraded pip version: $ pip install --upgrade pip
Now I am getting this error:
~$ pip install ipython
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name main
TL;DR
The 'ideal' solution (Ubuntu/Debian way):
$ python -m pip uninstall pip to uninstall the new pip 10 and retain your Ubuntu/Debian-provided patched pip 8. For a system-wide installation of modules use apt wherever possible (unless you are in a virtualenv), more on it below. In older Ubuntu/Debian versions, always add --user flag when using pip outside of virtualenvs (installs into ~/.local/, default in python-pip and python3-pip since 2016).
If you still want to use the new pip 10 exclusively, there are 3 quick workarounds:
simply re-open a new bash session (a new terminal tab, or type bash) - and pip 10 becomes available (see pip -V). debian's pip 8 remains installed but is broken; or
$ hash -d pip && pip -V to refresh pip pathname in the $PATH. debian's pip 8 remains installed but is broken; or
$ sudo apt remove python-pip && hash -d pip (for Python 3 it's python3-pip) -- to uninstall debian's pip 8 completely, in favor of your new pip 10.
Note: You will always need to add --user flag to non-debian-provided pip 10, unless you are in a virtualenv! Your use of pip 10 system-wide, outside of virtualenv, is not really supported by Ubuntu/Debian. Never sudo pip!

Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 2.7.12
Introduction:
Ironically, despite being suggested by pip itself to do such an upgrade via the pip install --upgrade pip command explicitely in the terminal (ugh!), upgrading it is not recommended in prepackaged GNU/Linux distributions. Ubuntu generally expects using APT package manager for any system-wide Python module updates/installs (including of pip itself), for example:
$ sudo apt-get update (resync Ubuntu package index files from sources)
$ apt-cache search <python-package-name> (full text-search on all available packages)
$ apt-cache show <python-package-name> (displays the package description)
$ sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib (easily installs heavy modules for data science, resolving all system dependencies automatically)
$ sudo apt-get install ipython (installs the IPython-notebook you were looking for)
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip (installs/upgrades pip to the latest version available in Ubuntu repository – usually slightly behind pypi.org, but it doesn't matter)
If you ever have to use pip install command on Ubuntu/Debian instead of apt-get install, please make sure it runs isolated and does not change the default system-wide Python packages (never use sudo with pip) – more on this below.
ImportError: cannot import name main
The error is caused by the pip install --upgrade pip command: that installs the latest pip version 10 alongside Ubuntu's default pip version from python-pip debian package from the OS distribution (the system Python installation), completely bypassing Ubuntu apt subsystem. It breaks the Ubuntu's default pip: the debian-patched launcher script from python-pip (system-installed to /usr/bin/pip*) tries to do import main() from your newly installed pip 10 library, but with a different import path, so it fails.
This error is discussed in more detail in a developer thread of the pip issue tracker, including a few proposed solutions, such as:
The $ hash -d pip command: when hash is invoked, the full pathname of pip is determined by searching the directories in $PATH and remembered. Any previously-remembered pathname is discarded. The -d option causes the shell to "forget" the remembered location of the given package name; or
Similarly, you can simply re-open a new bash session (a new terminal tab) to refresh pip pathname in $PATH; or
You could just use pip2 command (or pip3 for Python 3) instead of pip to invoke the older system-installed pip script /usr/bin/pip2 , whereas any pip launcher script located in $HOME/.local/bin dir (pip, pip2, pip2.7) will start your new user-installed pip 10 version;
You can also use the versioned Python commands in combination with the -m switch to run the appropriate copy of pip, for example:
$ python2 -m pip install --user SomePackage # default Python 2
$ python2.7 -m pip install --user SomePackage # specifically Python 2.7
That is handy if you have several versions of Python and need an extension from PyPI for a specific Python version. The --user switch is only required when pip is used outside of virtualenv.
Or, uninstall one of the two pips – either user-installed or system-installed – to resolve the conflict:
$ python -m pip uninstall pip – to remove your manually-installed pip in favour of the previously installed Ubuntu-shipped version from python-pip debian package (python3-pip for Python 3); it is slightly older, but it finds and installs latest modules from PyPI just fine, and has a working pip command in the $PATH by default; or
$ sudo apt-get remove python-pip – to uninstall Ubuntu-provided pip in favour of your latest pip 10; if it is not accessible via the short pip command, just add your $HOME/.local/bin directory to your $PATH environment variable to use pip command (see above).
Note: Ubuntu 16.04 pip v8.1.1 and the latest pip v10.0.1 produce exactly the same PyPI index search results and can pull the same module versions;
Finally, you could ignore both pips altogether in favor of APT, and install Python packages system-wide from Ubuntu repo with:
$ apt search <python-package> # e.g. python-pandas
$ apt show <python-package> # e.g. python-flask
$ sudo apt install <python-package>
Packages prefixed with python- are for Python 2; with python3- are for Python 3.
Installation via apt-get may be what you need, in fact, python-packages from Ubuntu repository are preferred whenever possible, particularly in case of heavy system dependencies or when used system-wide. Of course, the amount of Python packages in Ubuntu repository (few thousand!) is relatively smaller compared to PyPI (and have only one version of them), because any OS repository is lagging slightly behind PyPI versions. But the upside of APT is that all the Ubuntu-provided packages underwent integration testing within Ubuntu, plus apt-get quickly resolves heavy dependencies like C extensions automatically. You will always get any required system libraries as part of the apt install, but with pip you have no such guarantees.
APT may not be an option, however, if you really need the latest (or certain older) package version, or when it can only be found at PyPI, or when modules need to be isolated; then pip is indeed more appropriate tool. If you use pip install command on Ubuntu instead of apt-get install, please ensure that it runs in an isolated virtual development environment, such as with virtualenv (sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv), or a built-in venv module (available in python3 only), or at a per-user level (pip install --user command option), but not system-wide (never sudo pip!).
Note: Using sudo pip command (with root access) should be avoided, because it interferes with the operation of the system package manager (apt) and may affect Ubuntu OS components when a system-used python module is unexpectedly upgraded, particularly by dependencies on another pip package. It is advised to never use Pip to change your system-wide Python packages, as these are managed by apt-get on Ubuntu.
I implemmented #catalinpopescu response from ImportError: cannot import name main when running pip --version command in windows7 32 bit
Find pip's path:

I downloaded pip and ran python setup.py install and everything worked just fine. The very next step in the tutorial is to run pip install <lib you want> but before it even tries to find anything online I get an error "bash: pip: command not found".
This is on Mac OS X. I'm assuming there's some kind of path setting that was not set correctly when I ran setup.py. How can I investigate further? What do I need to check to get a better idea of the exact cause of the problem?
EDIT: I also tried installing Python 2.7 for Mac in the hopes that the friendly install process would do any housekeeping like editing PATH and whatever else needs to happen for everything to work according to the tutorials, but this didn't work. After installing, running 'python' still ran Python 2.6 and PATH was not updated.
Why not just do sudo easy_install pip or if this is for python 2.6 sudo easy_install-2.6 pip?
This installs pip using the default python package installer system and saves you the hassle of manual set-up all at the same time.
This will allow you to then run the pip command for python package installation as it will be installed with the system python. I also recommend once you have pip using the virtualenv package and pattern. :)
2020 Update:
For current Debian/Ubuntu, use
apt-get install python3-pip
to install pip3.
Old 2013 answer (easy_install is now deprecated):
Use setuptools to install pip: sudo easy_install pip
(I know the above part of my answer is redundant with klobucar's, but I can't add comments yet), so here's an answer with a solution to sudo: easy_install: command not found on Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
Also, for python3, use easy_install3 and python3-setuptools.
For Python 3, use apt-get install python3-pip.
First of all: try pip3 instead of pip. Example:
pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)
pip3 should be installed automatically together with Python3.x. The documentation hasn't been updated, so simply replace pip by pip3 in the instructions, when installing Flask for example.
Now, if this doesn't work, you might have to install pip separately.
Update: A more reliable modern way to access the right pip install for the right python install is to use the syntax python -m pip.
Original Answer
pip would install itself into the bin of your python installation location. It also should create a symlink to some more common location like /usr/local/bin/pip
You can either edit your ~/.profile and update your PATH to include /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin, or you could create a symlink to it in a place that you know is in your path.
If you do: echo $PATH, you should see the paths currently being searched. If /usr/local/bin is in your PATH, you can do:
ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/pip /usr/local/bin
I would opt for adding the python bin to your $PATH variable.
I encountered this problem having downloaded python 3.x.x and trying to install awscli - pip: command not found.
Whilst following the instructions for downloading the AWS client, I changed
pip install awscli
to
pip3 install awscli
which ran the correct version.
I've made an alias on my machine to run python3 whilst typing python, which would normally run the system version 2.7. I'm not sure this is a good idea now. I think I'll just type in the commands as they intended them to be.
Check out How to Install Pip article for more information.
As of 2019,
Download get-pip.py provided by https://pip.pypa.io using the following command:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Run get-pip.py using the following command:
sudo python get-pip.py
After you done installing, run this command to check if pip is installed.
pip --version
Remove get-pip.py file after installing pip.
rm get-pip.py
Install Python latest version as given here
It has many download links like numpy and scipy
Then go to terminal and enter following command:-
sudo easy_install pip
For Python install packages check this
Requirements for Installing Packages
This section describes the steps to follow before installing other Python packages.
Install pip, setuptools, and wheel If you have Python 2 >=2.7.9 or
Python 3 >=3.4 installed from python.org, you will already have pip
and setuptools, but will need to upgrade to the latest version:
On Linux or OS X:
pip install -U pip setuptools On Windows:
python -m pip install -U pip setuptools If you’re using a Python
install on Linux that’s managed by the system package manager (e.g
“yum”, “apt-get” etc…), and you want to use the system package manager
to install or upgrade pip, then see Installing pip/setuptools/wheel
with Linux Package Managers
Otherwise:
Securely Download get-pip.py 1
Run python get-pip.py. 2 This will install or upgrade pip.
Additionally, it will install setuptools and wheel if they’re not
installed already.
I spent ages going through all the answers on this page but found the one that worked for me in the comments of the OP question by s-walsh
The answer is to use pip3:
$ pip3 install <name-of-install>
Installing using apt-get installs a system wide pip, not just a local one for your user. Try this command to get pip running on your system ...
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential
Then pip will be installed without any issues and you will be able to use "sudo pip...".
Most of the methods to install PIP are deprecated. Here is the latest (2019) solution. Please download get-pip script
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Run the script
sudo python get-pip.py
Latest update 2021.
In Ubuntu 20 64bit works perfectly
Installation of python3
sudo apt install python3
Pip Installation
sudo apt install python3-pip
Add following alias in $HOME/.bash_aliases in some cases file may be hidden.
alias pip="/usr/bin/python3 -m pip "
Refresh current terminal session.
. ~/.profile
check pip usage: pip
Install a package: pip install {{package_name}}
extra info
to get Home path
echo $HOME
you will get your home path.
To solve:
Add this line to ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
In a terminal window, run
source ~/.bash_profile
It might be the root permission. I tried exit root login, and use
sudo su -l root
pip <command>
install Homebrew, open Terminal or your favorite OSX terminal emulator and run
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
insert the Homebrew directory at the top of your PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line at the bottom of your ~/.profile file
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
Now, we can install Python 2.7:
$ brew install python
Get pip repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/pypa/pip
install pip:
$sudo easy_install pip
python install it by default but if not install you can install it manual use following cmd (for linux only )
for python3 :
sudo apt install python3-pip
for python2
sudo apt install python-pip
hope its help.
If you are running Python 3.5, run the following terminal command:
sudo pip3 install -U nltk
Any other pip commands in terminal would be similar:
pip3 install --upgrade pip
sudo pip3 install -U numpy ::
It solved my problem by using
sudo easy_install pip
Solved this by upgrading python 3 brew upgrade python:
Now i can just do:
pip3 install <package>
==> python
Python has been installed as
/usr/local/bin/python3
Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to
`python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have
Based on this stackoverflow answer and some of the answers on this thread, I have created an alias in the rc file:
alias pip="python3 -m pip"
There seem to be many different answers to this question but this seems to be the best-practice approach.
Avoiding sudo:
python <(curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py) --user
echo 'export "PATH=$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
From:
http://www.pip-command-not-found.com
CentOS 7 users can just use:
yum install python-pip
Also recommend using virtualenv if you're using pip. It can be added in the same way:
yum install python-virtualenv
assuming you have internet see:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
basically run:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
and
python get-pip.py
Try using this. Instead of zmq, we can use any package instead of zmq.
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo apt-get update
python3 -m pip install zmq
I was was not able to install this zmq package in my docker image because of the same issue i was getting. So tried this as another way to install and it worked fine for me.
To overcome the issue bash: pip: command not found in Mac
Found two versions on Mac 1 is 2.7 and the other is 3.7
when I say sudo easy_install pip, pip got installed under 2.7
when I say sudo easy_install-3.7 pip, pip got installed under 3.7
But, whenever I would require to do pip install , I wanted to install the package under python3.7, so I have set an alias (alias pip=pip3) in .bash_profile.
so now, whenever I do pip install <package_name>, it gets installed under python3.7
(Context: My OS is Amazon linux using AWS. It seems similar to RedHat but it's stripped down a bit, it seems.)
Exit the shell, then open a new shell. The pip command now works.
That's what solved the problem at this location.
You might want to know as well: The pip commands to install software then needed to be written like this example (jupyter for example) to work correctly on my system:
pip install jupyter --user
Specifically, note the lack of sudo, and the presence of --user
Would be real nice if pip docs had said anything about all this, but that would take typing in more characters I guess.
Not sure why this wasnt mentioned before, but the only thing that worked for me (on my NVIDIA Xavier) was:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
(or sudo apt-get install python-pip for python 2)
apt -y -qq install python3 python3-pip
ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
ln -s /usr/bin/pip3 /usr/bin/pip
What I did to overcome this was sudo apt install python-pip.
It turned out my virtual machine did not have pip installed yet. It's conceivable that other people could have this scenario too.
The updated command for installing pip3 is :
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
The problem seems that your python version and the library yoıu want to install is not matching versionally. Ex: If Django is Django3 and your python version is 2.7, you may get this error.
"After installing is running 'python' still ran Python 2.6 and PATH was not updated."
1- Install latest version of Python
2- Change your PATH manually as python38 and compare them.
3- Try to reinstall.
I solved this problem as replacing PATH manually with the latest version of Python.
As for Windows: ;C:\python38\Scripts
I wanted to deploy my Python app on Amazon Linux AMI 2015.09.1, which has Python2.7 (default) and pip (6.1.1). Then, I upgraded the pip using the command:
sudo pip install -U pip
However, it seemed broken, and showed the message when I tried to install packages:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==6.1.1
I found out that pip remove the previous files located in /usr/bin/, and installed the new one in /usr/local/bin. Thus, I tried to specify the location by using the command:
sudo pip install -U --install-option="--prefix='/usr/bin'" pip
Nevertheless, it still installed the new one in /usr/local/bin. In addition to that, pip could not work well with sudo although it successfully installed. The error message :
sudo: pip2.7: command not found
Is there a way to properly manage pip?
Try:
sudo which pip
This may reveal something like 'no pip in ($PATH)'.
If that is the case, you can then do:
which pip
Which will give you a path like /usr/local/bin/pip.
Copy + paste the path to pip to the sbin folder by running: sudo cp /usr/local/bin/pip /usr/sbin/
This will allow you to run sudo pip without any errors.
Struggled with this for a while. Here's what I've found:
ec2_user finds the pip executable, but has a module import error due to other having no read/execute permissions on the pip folders in the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages folder. This is actually okay, since in most cases, pip installs fail when not run as root anyway.
sudo cannot find pip.
Entering root with sudo su - allows pip to be run without issue.
The reason sudo pip stops working after the upgrade, is because the executable (or symbolic link) is removed from /usr/bin. However, what remains is a file called pip-27, which contains the following:
#!/usr/bin/python2.7
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'pip==6.1.1','console_scripts','pip2.7'
__requires__ = 'pip==6.1.1'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('pip==6.1.1', 'console_scripts', 'pip2.7')()
)
So, that's where our error comes from, as the upgrade clearly doesn't clean this file up. Not entirely clear on where the name translation from pip to pip-2.7 occurs.
As mentioned in another answer, pip now exists in /usr/local/bin after the upgrade, which is no longer in the sudo secure path. You can add this path to the secure_path variable by running sudo visudo. Another alternative, if you'd prefer to not add that path to your secure_path is to make a symbolic link to the new pip executable in /usr/bin.
The problem is partly answered by your question. The Amazon AMI doesn't consider /usr/local/bin to be part of the root account's PATH. You can fix this by updating the root account's ~/.bashrc to include it.
Something like this...
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
After struggling with this for hours and reading comments
which pip gave /usr/bin/pip , but the actual pip was located at /usr/local/bin/pip due to pip upgrade and clean up was not complete
So removing the pip in /usr/bin/
sudo rm /usr/bin/pip
and also adding the new pip to your export path
vim ~/.bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin
exit terminal, and login back
which pip should give /usr/local/bin/pip
pip install --upgrade pip
This works for me
sudo /usr/local/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
To add to angelokh
sudo `which pip` install --upgrade pip
I think the best strategy in this case is to manage pip is as part of a virtual environment using virtualenv rather than messing with the system-level version.
If you're OK with that, here's the basic idea:
Install the version of virtualenv packaged with the version of pip you are looking to upgrade to to the system-level pip (e.g. virtualenv==15.1.0 comes with pip==9.0.1):
$ sudo pip install -U virtualenv==15.1.0
You are using pip version 6.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Collecting virtualenv==15.1.0
Downloading virtualenv-15.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.8MB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 1.8MB 135kB/s
Installing collected packages: virtualenv
Found existing installation: virtualenv 12.0.7
Uninstalling virtualenv-12.0.7:
Successfully uninstalled virtualenv-12.0.7
Successfully installed virtualenv-15.1.0
I used the virtualenv release notes to find out which version of pip corresponds to which version of virtualenv.
Create the virtual environment:
$ virtualenv myenv
New python executable in /home/ec2-user/myenv/bin/python2.7
Also creating executable in /home/ec2-user/myenv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
Activate the virtual environment and confirm the version and location of the upgraded pip:
$ source myenv/bin/activate
(myenv) $ pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from /home/ec2-user/myenv/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
(myenv) $ which pip
~/myenv/bin/pip
This should allow you to install packages to this virtualenv using the pip version of your choice, without the need for sudo.
I think you've didn't installed the pythonXX-pip package.
I've upgraded mine straight to Python3.4, these commands works for me.
sudo su
yum install python34
yum install python34-pip
I downloaded Python 2.7.10 and I wanted to install pygame. I downloaded the DMG from pygame's website (Version 1.9.1) and installed it. To test if pygame was installed properly, I opened IDLE and entered the command import pygame just for the following error to return:
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 95, in <module>
from pygame.base import * ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
I'm running OSX Yosemite version 10.10.3, does anyone know how to fix this issue and properly install pygame without any issues>
This is the best method I've found for installing on OS X (and works with Python 3):
Step 1: Install XCode command line tools
XCode is the tool from Apple for creating Mac and iOS applications. It can be installed from the App Store (it’s free). When it’s finished, type the following at the command line:
$ xcode-select --install
Step 2: Install Homebrew (http://brew.sh)
Homebrew is a tool to easily install all kinds of software from the command line. It saves you having to go to a bunch of different sites and download lots of individual installers. Copy and paste this on the command line:
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
and follow the directions. You’ll also need to install Homebrew Cask (http://caskroom.io):
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
Step 3: Install the rest of the software
Now we can start installing all the requirements for Pygame. Just type the following commands one at a time and let the computer do its thing:
$ brew cask install xquartz
$ brew install python3
$ brew install python
$ brew linkapps python3
$ brew linkapps python
$ brew install git
$ brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_ttf portmidi libogg libvorbis
$ brew install sdl_mixer --with-libvorbis
$ brew tap homebrew/headonly
$ brew install smpeg
$ brew install mercurial
$ pip3 install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
Step 4: See if it works!
Now we can see if it works. Run Python from the command line:
$ python3
and try loading Pygame:
>>> import pygame
If you don’t see an error message, you’re all set!
