Question

I want to install glow for python so i runned

    pip3 install glfw

but when i'm trying to import glfw in code i get error like this

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/glfw.py", line 149, in <module>
    raise ImportError("Failed to load GLFW3 shared library.")
    ImportError: Failed to load GLFW3 shared library.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You need to install glfw3 on your system. If you use brew brew install glfw3

Answer 2

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04. Installation of libglfw3 and libglfw3-dev solved it.

apt-get install libglfw3
apt-get install libglfw3-dev

I tried to install glfw3 from source first and then install it with brew(as @PanchaGil mentioned above) but it didn't work out for some reason.
