Just like PortAudio which helps in the installation of pyaudio I want to know which package will help the installation of pygame ??

pyaudio installation also throws same type of error before installation of PortAudio. I install PortAudio which the help of Homebrew by the help of code "brew install portaudio".

I want to know the name of package(like portaudio) which help in the installation of pygame.

Please help....

I tried pip3 install pygame and I was expecting pygame to installed successfully.

  • Here are some things that you might want to try: 1. Make sure you have installed python 3.x (not mac's default python 2) 2. Try running ```pip install pygame```, instead of ```pip3 install pygame``` – mm4096 Dec 31 '22 at 03:25
