pygame not installing

[thick ridge]

Reinstall python and make sure to select "Add to PATH" during the installation @golden ginkgo

[wild urchin]

@thick ridge just do pip install pygame

[thick ridge]

Python and pip are not on his PATH.

This means he can’t use pip from terminal

He needs to add python to PATH, the easiest way to do that from my experience is reinstalling python

@golden ginkgo try creating a folder for ur project first and i suggest working inside a virtual environment

[golden ginkgo]

I did it but it still won’t work @thick ridge

"Doesn't work" is not very descriptive, please explain how it doesn't work (what it's currently doing/what you want it to do) as well as provide any errors as well (send full error if it's long use a pasting service)
