Hi, @Micheal,

Download pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64. While if you have a 64-bit Python version or pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl if you have a 32-bit version. Then open the command-line, navigate to the directory that contains the wheel file, and install it with pip:

py -3.7 -m pip install pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

Comments

C:\Users\user>py -3.7 -m pip install pygame-1.9.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
WARNING: Requirement 'pygame-1.9.3-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
ERROR: pygame-1.9.3-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I Got this Can u help me?

Hello, @Michael,

Pygame is much easier to install these days. Just do:

 pip install pygame

and it will automatically select the right download for your environment.

---

I have the EXACT SAME ERROR!!! I tried gltlka's solution and I again got the same error you said! Please tell me if you find a solution!

---

That's the command him and I did to get that error

Hi, @Tiffany,

Start Python and run: import platform and then platform.architecture() to see which version of Python you're running so you know which .whl to download!
