I am trying to install pygame on my Chromebook (using the Linux 'Terminal' app included with Chrome Developer Mode) with the following command:
python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user
I found these instructions HERE: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted
I am constantly getting the same error:
denverhogan3@penguin:~$ python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-joiz94kc/pygame/
I tried a couple of solutions to those problems but nothing worked for me (I tried upgrading pip, uninstalling python2 and some other options).
I also tried visiting the website described by the error, but it came back to being non-existant?!
I would be sincerely grateful if someone can help me with this problem and explain the situation as I am fairly new to python.
I am using:
-a Lenovo 32GB Chromebook with an ARM64 chip (found using the command $ sudo apt --version
),
-python 3.7.3 64-bit (python version found using the command $ python3 --version
),
-pip 18.1 (pip version found using the command $ python3 -m pip --version
)
Also, I have 7.5 GB of disk space dedicated to Linux applications.
Thank you SO much!
