Installing Pygame, Python 3.6 with Anaconda on OS X

pygame_install.md

Please make sure you already install the Anaconda.

I will create a virtual environment with anaconda and install the pygame in this virtual environment.

• First create a virtual environment called pygame and install the Python 3.6 version.

conda create --name pygame python=3.6

• Change to the pygame virtual environment.

conda activate pygame

• Install pygame

python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user

• Test pygame

python3 -m pygame.examples.aliens

If it works, you are ready to go!

Can you help me please? When I follow these instructions, Pygame is added to my base environment too, which I don't want. I know it's there because if I deactivate the new environment and run python I can still import pygame.

If you omit --user the package gets installed into the conda environment, that's better.

Worked perfectly fine, if you get this error: missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun ,I would suggest following instructions on: https://ma.ttias.be/mac-os-xcrun-error-invalid-active-developer-path-missing-xcrun/
