How to deal with Kivy installing error in Python 3.8?

Question

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:

Answer 1

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/

Answer 2

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()

Answer 3

This works in macOS Catalina 10.15.6 with python 3.8.0+

pip install kivy==2.0.0rc2

Answer 4

If you are using conda environment:

 conda install -c conda-forge kivy 

works in python 3.8

Answer 5

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
