Unable to install Pygame using pip

Steps to install PyGame using pip

  1. Install build dependencies (on linux):

    sudo apt-get build-dep python-pygame

  2. Install mercurial to use hg (on linux):

    sudo apt-get install mercurial

    On Windows you can use the installer: Download

  3. Use pip to install PyGame:

    pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

    If the above gives freetype-config: not found error (on Linux), then try sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev and then repeat 3.

Alternative way:

# Grab source
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

# Finally build and install
cd pygame
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
