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

So we currently use python 2.6 for production, and I just installed pip but couldn't get any output from cmd on windows 10. Then I tried with python -m pip ... then I got d:\Python26\python.exe: pip is a package and cannot be directly executed, it's quite annoying so how do I fix this problem?
pip is a standalone executable, not package. After using get-pip.py for installing pip, you should have pip executable in d:\Python26\. Go to that folder to check if pip is there:
cd d:\Python26\
pip freeze
Then you need to add pip to your PATH: https://superuser.com/a/949573
I was looking for a tutorial on how to install Python libraries in the wheel format.
It does not seem straightforward so I'd appreciate a simple step by step tutorial how to install the module named "requests" for CPython.
I downloaded it from: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests and now I have a .whl file. I've got Python 2.7 and 3.3 on Windows, so how do I install it so all the other Python scripts I run can use it?
You want to install a downloaded wheel (.whl) file on Python under Windows?
Install pip on your Python(s) on Windows (on Python 3.4+ it is already included)
Upgrade pip if necessary (on the command line)
pip install -U pip
Install a local wheel file using pip (on the command line)
pip install --no-index --find-links=LocalPathToWheelFile PackageName
Option --no-index tells pip to not look on pypi.python.org (which would fail for many packages if you have no compiler installed), --find-links then tells pip where to look for instead. PackageName is the name of the package (numpy, scipy, .. first part or whole of wheel file name). For more informations see the install options of pip.
You can execute these commands in the command prompt when switching to your Scripts folder of your Python installation.
Example:
cd C:\Python27\Scripts
pip install -U pip
pip install --no-index --find-links=LocalPathToWheelFile PackageName
Note: It can still be that the package does not install on Windows because it may contain C/C++ source files which need to be compiled. You would need then to make sure a compiler is installed. Often searching for alternative pre-compiled distributions is the fastest way out.
For example numpy-1.9.2+mkl-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl has PackageName numpy.
If you want to be relax for installing libraries for python.
You should using pip, that is python installer package.
To install pip:
Download ez_setup.py and then run:
python ez_setup.py
Then download get-pip.py and run:
python get-pip.py
upgrade installed setuptools by pip:
pip install setuptools --upgrade
If you got this error:
Wheel installs require setuptools >= 0.8 for dist-info support.
pip's wheel support requires setuptools >= 0.8 for dist-info support.
Add --no-use-wheel to above cmd:
pip install setuptools --no-use-wheel --upgrade
Now, you can install libraries for python, just by:
pip install library_name
For example:
pip install requests
Note that to install some library may they need to compile, so you need to have compiler.
On windows there is a site for Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages that have huge python packages and complied python packages for windows.
For example to install pip using this site, just download and install setuptools and pip installer from that.
To install wheel packages in python 2.7x:
Install python 2.7x (i would recommend python 2.78) - download the appropriate python binary for your version of windows . You can download python 2.78 at this site https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.8/
-I would recommend installing the graphical Tk module, and including python 2.78 in the windows path (environment variables) during installation.
Install get-pip.py and setuptools
Download the installer at
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
Double click the above file to run it. It will install pip and setuptools [or update them, if you have an earlier version of either]
-Double click the above file and wait - it will open a black window and print will scroll across the screen as it downloads and installs [or updates] pip and setuptools --->when it finishes the window will close.
Open an elevated command prompt - click on windows start icon, enter cmd in the search field (but do not press enter), then press ctrl+shift+. Click 'yes' when the uac box appears.
A-type
cd c:\python27\scripts
[or cd \scripts ]
B-type
pip install -u
Eg to install pyside, type pip install -u pyside
Wait - it will state 'downloading PySide or -->it will download and install the appropriate version of the python package [the one that corresponds to your version of python and windows.]
Note - if you have downloaded the .whl file and saved it locally on your hard drive, type in
pip install --no-index --find-links=localpathtowheelfile packagename
**to install a previously downloaded wheel package you need to type in the following command
pip install --no-index --find-links=localpathtowheelfile packagename
Have you checked this http://docs.python.org/2/install/ ?
First you have to install the module
$ pip install requests
Then, before using it you must import it from your program.
from requests import requests
Note that your modules must be in the same directory.
Then you can use it.
For this part you have to check for the documentation.
Install distribute by downloading and running distribute_setup.py. This will make easy_install available, and from there you can install pip with easy_install pip. Then you can run pip install CAGE. Using pip to install things is a lot easier than messing with manually running setup.py, because pip can do things like:
automatically resolve dependencies
show you a list of all installed packages and their versions
install a set of specified packages from a requirements.txt
upgrade and uninstall packages
work with virtualenv
If you're on Windows, the one downside of pip occurs when there are C library dependencies, as pip will want a C toolchain installed so it can compile things. If that is the case, then there are two options. If there are precompiled binaries on PyPI, then just run easy_install package instead; easy_install knows how to use binary packages. You can also check Christoph Gohlke's site for executable installers of many binary packages. These can also be installed by easy_install if you want to use them with a virtualenv (just point it to the path of the .exe) or you can click and run if you don't care about virtualenv.
The main point is that no matter what route you choose to install packages, at no point are you ever moving around files by hand. You need to get out of the mindset of "I extracted this archive, where do I put these .py files?" That's not how it works. You're either running pip, running easy_install, running setup.py, clicking on an installer package, or using your distribution's installer. At no point are you ever doing anything by hand with the files directly.
Once you have a library downloaded you can execute this from the MS-DOS command box:
python setup.py install
The setup.py is located inside every library main folder.
For windows, there are automatic installer packages available at this site
It includes most of the python packages.
But the best way for it is of course using pip.
You don't need to download exclusively from the website. Just make sure you have pip (which you probably will if you have python installed). Just open your Command Prompt (CMD) and run the command:
pip install pygame
It will automatically download the correct whl version of pygame compatible with your configuration of PC. Make sure you remember the version which appears while "downloading" as this is the compatible version of .whl packages you shall be looking for in the future.
Simple steps to install python in Ubuntu:
Download Python
$ cd /usr/src
$ wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.0/Python-3.6.0.tgz
Extract the downloaded package
$ sudo tar xzf Python-3.6.0.tgz
Compile Python source
$ cd Python-3.6.0
$ sudo ./configure
$ sudo make altinstall
Note make altinstall is used to prevent replacing the default python binary file /usr/bin/python.
check the python version
# python3.6 -V

How to add/use libraries in Python (3.5.1)
but no problem will rewrite it again
if u have or you can create a file requirements.txt which contains the libraries that you want to install for ex:
numpy==1.14.2
Pillow==5.1.0
You gonna situate in your folder which contains that requirements.txt in my case the path to my project is
C:\Users\LE\Desktop\Projet2_Sig_Exo3\exo 3\k-means
now just type
python -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt
and all the libararies that you want gonna install
C:\Users\LE\Desktop\Projet2_Sig_Exo3\exo 3\k-means>python -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt
