Installation of pygame with Anaconda

Question

I have Anaconda 1.6.2, which uses Python 2.7.5, installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
I need to install Pygame 1.9.1

Answer 1

The easiest way to install Python using conda is:

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/krisvanneste pygame

Edit (03/2016):

It seems like the package is unavailable, but you can use this instead:

conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/tlatorre python

Edit (01/2017)

The command has changed, now you can use:

conda install -c tlatorre pygame=1.9.2

Edit (07/2018)

tlatorre's repo is still valid but a little bit outdated, you can use cogsci repo if you want the latest version:

conda install -c cogsci pygame

Answer 2

With anaconda python 3 on MacOs 10.12 I followed the following procedure and it worked : http://florian-berger.de/en/articles/installing-pygame-for-python-3-on-os-x/

I only skipped the following line since pip was already installed through anaconda:

/usr/local/share/python3/easy_install pip

Answer 3

In the Anaconda menu, choose Tools, then "open command prompt".

The cmd window will open inside Anaconda. Now type "pip install pygame".
