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. How to install PyGame on the Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.1. Install Anaconda 2.7; Get the SDL Framework run dmg and copy to /Library/Frameworks; brew install sdl note you need Homebrew installed; Ensure you have XCODE and latest Command Line Tools for XCODE.

Making games is a great way to improve your programming skills while making something fun at the same time. Pygame is a set of tools for Python that make it easy to work with graphics and sound.
Unfortunately, installing Pygame is not as easy as using it is. Below you’ll find the best directions we’ve found for getting it working on your system. Follow the directions below, and let us know in the comments below if you have any problems.
Note: For most of these instructions you will need to use the command line. Don’t be intimidated - programmers work on the command line all the time. Once you get used to it, you’ll find it’s the quickest and easiest way to do lots of useful things on the computer.
You access the command line by running the Terminal application - click on the Spotlight icon and type “terminal” to find it.
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:
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:
and follow the directions. You’ll also need to install Homebrew Cask (http://caskroom.io):
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:
Step 4: See if it works!
Now we can see if it works. Run Python from the command line:
and try loading Pygame:
If you don’t see an error message, you’re all set! Now head over to our YouTube Channel and start coding!
Important
You will not be able to use Pygame from IDLE. You will need to run your programs from the command line like this:
Some code editors will also let you run Python programs from inside the program, but we’ll talk about that in a separate post.
Step 1: Install Python
If you haven’t already, go to http://python.org/ and download the latest Python installer. Click on “Downloads” and choose “Download Python 3.5.0” (or whatever the latest version is).
When the download finishes, choose “run” - you may need to open your Downloads folder and double-click on the installer file.
Check the box labeled “Add Python 3.5 to PATH” and then click “Customize Installation”. Under “Optional Features” make sure all the boxes are checked. Under “Advanced Options” you can leave it as-is. Then click the Install button and let the computer complete the process.
Step 2: Install Pygame for Windows
Click here and download the appropriate installer for your computer. For most people, this will be the latest 32-bit installer, for example:
Choose “Save” and let the file download.
Now, you need to go to the command line. In your Start Menu search for “command” and you’ll see a button for “Command Prompt”.
Type the following:
Step3: See if it works!
Now we can see if it works. Run Python from the command line:
