I have installed every necessary code in Python from Kivy, but the last one I need which one is python -m pip install kivy gets me an error like this:

    What python version are you using? – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 11:57
  • 3.8.0, just checked few seconds ago! – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 12:19

    Try using 3.7 instead. – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 12:27
  • It worked, on 3.7 it installed, but now I have another error. While it's installed its shows me that it doesn't exist. I have this error: 'kivy' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Do you know what to do here? – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 14:47
  • It sounds like you're trying to run `kivy` as a command line command, but that isn't a thing you can do, Kivy is a python module you must import within Python. If that doesn't explain your problem, please give more information about what you're attempting. – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 14:54
  • I am trying to import a module kivy but it doesn't show up like tkinter does. What could be the problem? – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 15:27
  • `import kivy` isn't expected to make anything "show up". Post an example of some specific code that you believe should do something, but doesn't. – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 16:13
  • import kivy('\n') from kivy.app import App('\n') cant get further than this because it doesn't recognize the module named kivy. – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 16:20
  • Then you don't have Kivy installed in whatever python environment you're running that code from. – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 16:40
  • That's the thing, I installed all the lined of code from kivy.org and it shows that its all installed already, but when I try to run a test which is ''python share\kivy-examples\demo\showcase\main.py'' it doesn't recognize. I don't understand how its even possible to be all installed and not recognize at the same time. – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 16:44
  • Please post the exact commands you've run to verify that kivy is installed, and the commands you're running to test the example (that don't work). – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 16:58
  • 1.python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools, 2.python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew, 3.python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer, 4.python -m pip install kivy.deps.angle, 5.python -m pip install kivy, 6.python -m pip install kivy_examples, and the last one to test if its working is 7.python share\kivy-examples\demo\showcase\main.py. – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 17:12
  • What happens if you run `python -m pip install colorama` then `python -c "import colorama"`, assuming you don't have colorama installed already? – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 17:19
  • Did that, nothing happened. Do you have any other ideas? And python -c "import colorama" doesn't do anything too, just gives emptiness. – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 17:23
  • But if you do `python -c "import kivy"` you get an exception? – inclement Dec 01 '19 at 17:38
  • How can I send you a message? Because the error I get is too long for a comment. – Atis Dec 01 '19 at 18:09
  • you need to use "python3 -m pip .. " instead of "python -m pip ..." – Pablo Díaz Dec 16 '19 at 06:06
  • I also get this message as of 2020/04/05, maybe kivy doesn't support 3.8 yet? resorted to using python 3.7 as @inclement suggested – LeRoi Apr 05 '20 at 10:48
  • I get the same `ERROR: Dependency` messages with python 3.7.6. Pip continues on from there fine it seems, until `gcc` fails much later with no clear compile error. – CivFan Nov 03 '20 at 20:35

This worked for me:

matham commented 15 days ago We are not likely to release a 1.11.1 version for 3.8 to pypi. However, you can install kivy master using:

pip install kivy[base] kivy_examples --pre --extra-index-url https://kivy.org/downloads/simple/

Try using pip install kivy==2.0.0rc2 or pip install kivy==2.0.0rc1

The command: pip install kivy==2.0.0rc2

Works with Windows 10 Pro and Python 3.8.3

And I test it with this code:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button
 
class TestApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return Button(text= " Hello Kivy World ")

TestApp().run()

This works in macOS Catalina 10.15.6 with python 3.8.0+

pip install kivy==2.0.0rc2

If you are using conda environment:

 conda install -c conda-forge kivy

works in python 3.8

I am windows 10, with 3.8.2

seems pip install kivy==2.0.0rc2 worked. At least it installed.

time to tell if I can develop with it using 3.8.2
