[krauseling]

Versions

• Python:2.7.10
• OS: macOS 10.13 High Sierra
• Kivy: N/A
• Kivy installation method: sudo pip install kivy

Description

Attempting to install Kivy using the pip method. I have successfully installed Cython and the other pre-requisites via Homebrew.
I receive the below error upon entering "sudo pip install kivy"

Code and Logs

Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/private/tmp/pip-build-lzJfp5/kivy/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('rn', 'n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-lPcVuX-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-lzJfp5/kivy/

@krauseling Hi, please run pip install with --verbose. This output is very generic and not useful at all.

[krauseling]

@KeyWeeUsr, thanks for the reply. Here is a more verbose output but not all of it due to max length.

[parabolize]

Looks like #5457

[KeyWeeUsr]

As @parabolize said, it's the SDL2_mixer related issue. Try to install this way the master branch:

pip install --verbose https://github.com/kivy/kivy/zipball/master

and it should compile properly.

[krauseling]

That also didn't work... :/
I've pasted the entirety of the output from your suggestion onto Pastebin, link below.

[AndreMiras]

@parabolize I'm not a mac user, but it looks like a permission issue to me because of the log below:

...
    running install_data
    creating /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share
     error: could not create '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share': Operation not permitted
error
...

So you could try to add the --user flag to your pip install.

pip install --user --verbose https://github.com/kivy/kivy/zipball/master

[krauseling]

Successfully installed Kivy-1.10.1.dev0

Good stuff @AndreMiras! That finally did the trick. Thank you so much to all of you for the help. I look forward to making kivy into some sweet apps.

[Kalienov]

Had the same problem with python 3.6.2 on High Sierra and @AndreMiras solution worked! Thanks!
