How to install PyGame on Python 3.4?

Question

So I have this little problem. When I try to install PyGame for Python 3.4 I download a .whl (wheel?) file and don't know how to use it. Some guys told me something about pip but don't know how to use/install it.

Answer 1

You can install the wheel file for Python 3.4 here:

First you have to install the wheel package from pip then install Pygame.

pip install wheel

pip install pygame‑1.9.2a0‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl

Here's a video to help you install pip on Youtube.

Answer 2

Here is a great VIDEO tutorial: http://goo.gl/PurJqk (it is on youtube)

This is what I use to install .whl modules to python (I do this in the 64 bit windows cmd):

cd "C:\Users\(YOUR USERNAME)\Desktop" 

(assuming that you have the .whl file on your desktop)

C:\Python34\Scripts\pip install filename.whl

(where filename.whl is the full name of the .whl file, with the .whl extension)

After that it will install, and you are free to use PyGame!
