This ' Setup' file is a simple Makefile-like text file. If it isn't perfect, it is easy to build your own, or edit the created ' Setup' text file. The 'config.py' will do a good job of detecting what dependencies are available and where they are located. This will build a ' Setup' file which stores all the information needed to compile.

The first time you run the setup script, it will call the ' config.py' script. Use the 'setup.py' script to start the installation. Pygame also comes with some scripts to automatically configure the flags needed to build pygame. This is compiled for your system as it installs, similar to BSD, Ĭompiling and installing pygame is handled by Python's distutils. See the FreeBSD package page for more information. While techinicaly it isn't binary, it is automatically built and installed by the ports manager. There is documentation with python for the ' windows installation steps'įreeBSD also has an active pygame package. This means that python, and pip will work for you from the command line. Make sure you install python with the 'Add python to PATH' option selected. This comes with pygame already installed on the default raspbian installation. If pygame starts compiling from source and fails, first try upgrading pip. If pip doesn't find a wheel for your platform, it will try to compile pygame from source (see below). Wheels are available for x86 and 圆4 architectures on Linux and Windows, and for 圆4 and arm64 on Mac. If not, please read some alternative installation methods, and extra details below.

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