I've downloaded pygame-1.9.1release.tar.gz
from the Pygame website. I extracted and installed it and it's working fine in the command line Python interpreter in Terminal (Ubuntu). But I want to install it for some IDE, like PyCharm. How can I do it?
The main or root cause for getting this modulenotfound error is that you have not installed pygame in your system. And another reason is your python interpreter has not known the path of the package installed. You will get the red underline below the package name if you try to import pygame package in pycharm.
The Python "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'" occurs when we forget to install the pygame module before importing it or install it in an incorrect environment. To solve the error, install the module by running the pip install pygame command.
Well, you don't have to download it for PyCharm here. You probably know how it checks your code. Through the interpreter! You don't need to use complex command lines or anything like that. You need to is:
Download the appropriate interpreter with PyGame included
Open your PyCharm IDE (Make sure it is up to date)
Go to File
Press Settings
(Or Ctrl + Alt + S)
Double click on the option that looks like Project: Name_of_Project
Click on Project Interpreter
Choose the interpreter you want to use that includes PyGame as a module
Save your options
And you are ready to go! Here is an alternate (I have never done this, please try to test it)
I hope this helps you!
For PyCharm 2017 do the following:
Not I'm saying that the answers above won't work, but it might be frustrating to a newbie to do command line magic.
