Python PyGame installation
PyGame is trivial to install on most devices. PyGame allows playing sound from Numpy arrays.
python -m pip install pygame
pip prefers .whl binaries over compiling.
Source compile pip (optional)
Force PyGame manual source compilation:
apt install mercurial ffmpeg libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libfreetype6-dev libavformat-dev libportmidi-dev libswscale-dev
python -m pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
Manual build
This is rarely needed.
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
cd pygame
python -m pip install -e .
Notes
- Most packages are available from pip as wheel
.whl. - Pygame Install reference
