Pygame install tips (in PyCharm)

pygame install tips (in PyCharm)

---

Hello guys! Maybe you are trapped into a trouble that why the new installed Pycharm cannot install pygame module even the version of Pycharm is latest, please keep calm and here is a couple of tips!

1. In current Terminal in Pycharm, check the version update, using: pip list --outdated.
2. Generally, you will find pip and setuptools are outdated, so we gonna update them.
3. First using update command pip install --upgrade pip, you will find some problems. But you should do this action even though your pip is uninstalled and doesn’t exist.
4. If you follow the suggestion and try to type pip install --user --upgrade pip, you will find the Terminal tells you “Cannot open …\pip-script.py”. And other commands like pip list | more cannot run either.
5. Then, you will realize that you should install pip. Here, use easy_install pip. After that, you are done with the most core part.
6. Next, check version using the first tip I told. You will find setuptools is still outdated. Now, use common update command pip install --upgrade module_name to update the module you want to update. (Here, pip install --upgrade setuptools)
7. And then check the version again (pip list --outdated), and you will find everything is clear!
8. Finally, we enter pip install pygame into Terminal, and you will receive a successful notice. Now you can START PYTHON GAMES WITH PYGAME!
