Installation of pygame with Anaconda

问题:

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 and this is not part of the conda repository.
I cannot run the Windows installer because Anaconda has not made registry entries for Python and the .msi does not recognize the Python version.
So, I tried to install Pygame from source. What I originally wanted to do was create a conda package as per the instructions here http://www.continuum.io/blog/conda As per those instructions, the package (pygame in this case) is first installed from source and then a conda package is created. But, I failed in the pygame install.
On running the setup.py file ("python setup.py install"), a run time error
"mingw32: required environment variable MINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY not set" is thrown.
After setting the environment variables, I ran the setup again and this time, the runtime error became "The dependencies are linked to the wrong C runtime for Python 2.7".

Error:

Please tell me what I need to do to install Pygame with Anaconda. I'm not able to find any information (barely any) regarding this combination. I would just like to add that Pygame was originally working when I had a Python 2.7.5 installation. The problem has come up now when I uninstalled my original Python installation and moved to Anaconda.

Thank you!

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tlatorre's repo is still valid but a little bit outdated, you can use cogsci repo if you want the latest version: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

回答2:

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

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

回答3:

This worked for me on windows :

conda install -c cogsci pygame=1.9.2a0

This didnot work for me on windows machine :

conda install -c tlatorre pygame=1.9.2

回答4:

This worked for me:

1. Open Anaconda Prompt (from Start Menu > Anaconda3)
2. Type command 'pip install pygame'
3. Open Spyder and import pygame

It should work.

回答5:

The following works with Anaconda2 on Win7 (32bit).

conda install -c cogsci pygame=1.9.2

回答6:

Another way to do the job, as i see, is to reinstall Anaconda using its Windows installer so that later you can install your pygame using Windows installer too. This could save your much work in installer pygame from source.

Note that the versions of your Anaconda and pygame should be both 32 or 64 bits, and be using the same python version.

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

回答8:

Using Jupyter Notebook 5.5.0 and running "install pygame" without the pip command allowed for the installation of pygame 1.9.3 for Python 3.6.5 on windows

回答9:

For anyone with a Linux computer I found a link that might be helpful:

https://anaconda.org/tlatorre/pygame

run this command in your terminal :

conda install -c tlatorre pygame=1.9.2 

Then close Spyder and restart it
