Pygame Installation¶

Gpg -verify Python-3.6.2.tgz.asc Note that you must use the name of the signature file, and you should use the one that's appropriate to the download you're verifying. (These instructions are geared to GnuPG and Unix command-line users.). Jul 10, 2018 To download any module easily, follow the following steps:. Go the the scripts folder of your python installation. type cmd in the adrress bar and press enter. The cmd should open up in the scripts directory. type the command pip install <modu.

Pygame requires Python; if you don't already have it, you can download it from python.org. Use python 3.7.7 or greater, because it is much friendlier to newbies, and additionally runs faster.

The best way to install pygame is with the pip tool (which is what python uses to install packages). Note, this comes with python in recent versions. We use the --user flag to tell it to install into the home directory, rather than globally.

To see if it works, run one of the included examples:

Pygame For Python 3.8.3

If it works, you are ready to go! If not there are more detailed, platform-specific instructions further down the page.

Next steps...¶

You could try:

• Having a go at one of the tutorials.
• Or dive right into the pygame Docs

Further info on installation¶

Hopefully the installation instructions above worked for you. If not, please read some alternative installation methods, and extra details below.

Wheels are available for x86 and x64 architectures on Linux and Windows, and for x64 on Mac. If pip doesn't find a wheel for your platform, it will try to compile pygame from source (see below).

pygame requires a 'newer' pip. If pygame starts compiling from source and fails, first try upgrading pip.

Raspberry Pi¶

This comes with pygame already installed on the default raspbian installation.

Windows installation¶

Make sure you install python3.6 with the 'Add python 3.6 to PATH' option selected. This means that python, and pip will work for you from the command line.

There is documentation with python for the 'windows installation steps'

If you get 'PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied', before starting the command prompt right click and 'Run as administrator'.

Notice that this does not seem to work with Python 3.9 - use 3.7.

Mac installation¶

Recent versions of Mac OS X require pygame 2¶

If your examples aren't running and you are using a recent version of Mac OS X; try this line to install pygame instead:

virtualenv issue¶

There are problems with '

' and pygame on mac, where it loses focus. More details here: details on the virtualenv issue. It does work if you create a venv with python -m venv however. Instructions if you want to use an virtualenv (some people have trouble with the window losing focus when inside a venv).

That's just needed on mac if you use virtualenv, not if you install it with --user, or if you use -m venv.

Anaconda Mac¶

Use

instead of

(note the w on the end). If it doesn't work for you, please see the /wiki/MacCompile instructions.

Unix Binary Packages¶

Many Linux and BSD distributions have their own packages of Pygame. These may have an older version of Pygame than the wheels, but have been carefully tested with other packages in that distribution.

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint¶

Fedora/Red hat¶

OpenSUSE¶

Arch/Manjaro

Distribution	Python 3 package	Python 2 package	Debian/Ubuntu	python3-pygame	python-pygame	Fedora	python3-pygame	pygame

FreeBSD also has an active pygame package. While techinicaly it isn't binary, it is automatically built and installed by the ports manager. See the FreeBSD package page for more information. http://www.freebsdports.info/ports/devel/py-game.html

Gentoo has a builtin package for pygame. This is compiled for your system as it installs, similar to BSD, http://packages.gentoo.org/package/dev-python/pygame

Installing From Source¶

Compilation¶

Compiling and installing pygame is handled by Python's distutils. Pygame also comes with some scripts to automatically configure the flags needed to build pygame. Use the 'setup.py' script to start the installation.

The first time you run the setup script, it will call the 'config.py' script. This will build a 'Setup' file which stores all the information needed to compile. The 'config.py' will do a good job of detecting what dependencies are available and where they are located. If it isn't perfect, it is easy to build your own, or edit the created 'Setup' text file. This 'Setup' file is a simple Makefile-like text file. It defines variables needed to use each dependency, and then enables all the pygame modules with found dependencies. If you have trouble compiling, you should be able to easily fix any problems inside the 'Setup' file.

Running the 'setup.py' script will call distutils to build and install the pygame package. Distutils actually supports a wide variety of compile and install options. running 'python setup.py help' will start to show you the different options available. You can change many things like install locations, compiler to use, and more. Calling the 'setup.py' script with no arguments and it will just ask you if you want the default flags needed to compile and install.

Some of the .c files are generated by Cython from .pyx files. Running 'setup.py cython' will update them.

Windows Compiling Info

You can compile pygame on windows with mingw (gcc for windows) and also with visual studio. Up to date details can be found here: CompileWindows

Unix Compiling Info

Compiling from linux shouldn't give you any problems. One thing you must keep in mind is that most linux RPM packages separate the actual library from the 'dev' files needed to compile. To build you will need to make sure the packages like 'SDL-dev' are installed.

You can check to see if SDL is ready to be built from by running the command sdl-config and seeing if it is found. If the sdl-config script is not on the path (or you have more than one?) Set the environment variable SDL_CONFIG to its location.

Download Pygame On Mac

Sometimes you will have the SDL libraries installed in once location, and the other SDL libraries in another. This tricks the pygame config scripts, but you can help it out by setting the environment LOCALBASE to a path prefix where the other libraries are. The common case for this is SDL installed in /usr and other SDL libs installed in /usr/local. The command for this situation is 'LOCALBASE=/usr/local python setup.py install'.

Mac OS X Compiling Info¶

Installing PyGame on a Mac OS

This blog will tell you how you can install PyGame on a Mac OS

Sep 21, 2018 By Team YoungWonks

In this blog, we shall look at the procedure to install PyGame on a Mac OS (Operating System). Now PyGame is cross-platform set of modules in the Python programming language. These modules are designed for writing video games. Thus PyGame includes computer graphics and sound libraries that have been created to be used with the Python programming language.

Now how do we do install PyGame on a Mac? Let us start by looking at how one can install Python on a Mac.

The video below tells you how to do so...

Now that we have installed Python on the Mac, we can go on to install PyGame.

Installation of PyGame on Mac:

• Start by opening Spotlight search bar on your Mac. You can do this by taking your cursor to the top right corner of your desktop and clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
  
• Once you have opened the Spotlight search bar, type terminal in the bar to open terminal.
  
• Now type pip3.
  
• If you see a bunch of general options on the screen, it means that pip is already installed on your MacBook.
  
• Now type pip3 install pygame as shown in this (below) image.
  
• The installation will start at this point and you need to wait till the PyGame installation is done. You’ll know it’s done when you see a message (as shown below) saying successfully installed pygame.
  
• To test if PyGame has been installed on your Mac, open IDLE by typing IDLE in your Spotlight search bar.
  
• Then type import pygame as shown in the image.
  
• If you do not see any error, it means that PyGame has been successfully installed on your Mac.
  

Shared below is a video explaining how one can install PyGame on one's Mac:
