I am trying to install Kivy in Anaconda 3 4.1.1 in Windows 7. But I couldn't find a proper user guide to instruct me how to do so. But so far I was able to find instructions to install it on OS X on the link https://github.com/kivy/kivy/wiki/Connecting-Kivy-with-Anaconda-(OSX). But I couldn't find a one for Windows operating systems.
Can anyone provide me with instructions on how to install Kivy in Anaconda?

Open the Anoconda prompt (console) and input: conda install kivy -c conda-forge (This is a package dedicated to Anaconda.) This should download and install the correct kivy version related to your python version.
Open the command terminal with (kvenv), type python -m pip install kivy[full] , and press enter. Note: If you look at Kivy's website, you will see that it says to type “python -m pip install kivy[full] kivy_examples” instead of “python -m pip install kivy[full].” However, both ways will work.
It was possible to use Kivy in Jupyter Notebook since Kivy version 1.3. 0 using InteractiveLauncher (see documentation). However, this has been deprecated since version 1.10.
Kivy has many dependencies, so it's recommended that you install it into a Python virtual environment. You can use either Python's built-in venv library or the virtualenv package. If you've never used a Python virtual environment before, then check out Python Virtual Environments: A Primer.
Use anaconda search for search the package names and conda install to install:
anaconda search -t conda kivy
For Windows:
conda install -c krisvanneste kivy=1.8.0
For Linux:
conda install -c moritzimend kivy=1.9.0
For Mac:
conda install -c akode kivy=1.9.1
Kivy now has official Anaconda releases on all platforms. You can install it with:
conda install kivy -c conda-forge
