Kivy Tutorial

Kivy is a graphical user interface Python library that allows you to develop multiplatform applications on Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. What is better is that it performs better then HTML5 cross platform alternatives. Here I'll show how to install it on both MacOS and Windows. We will also make a few sample apps to make sure everything works.

Thank you so much Darek. I was experimenting with tkinter and java swing, putting in lots of work, and with really old examples that usually don't work anymore. You are such a good teacher. I always enjoy your videos. You are making the world much better by making things easier for people to get started with creating cool projects. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Those are who are downloading in 2019, make sure you type "kivy3" instead of Kivy in terminal.

I remember I asked you about Kivy tutorial approx a year ago, so I guess you got the idea about this from my request. It's cool!
Of course from that time I learned a lot about Kivy programming by myself, did some apps, but I will be very glad to follow exactly your tutorials just because I like the way you doing this.

Thanks, Derek, you rock :)

You should consider naming this video "Kivy Tutorial ->1<-"
I discovered your other kivy tutorials much later because I thought this was your only tutorial on Kivy!

Nice derek, Im excited for your Kivy tutorials. There's a server lack of good ones currently on the internet and cross-platform python has always seemed like a great idea imo.

how do you get a label to change text from the push of a button? i want a list of words to iterate through the label each time the user hits a next button

Hi Derek, you've just made my day by posting Kivy tutorial. Thanks a lot and please keep going!

I would recommend just going onto the download page for windows users. They have some optional commands for possible issues, and everything's sequential and easy to copy-paste

Derek, I think names in python are *recommended* to be snake_case instead of camelCase, apart from classes, which should be PascalCase and constants (all capital)

Mr Banas you have some of the best videos... was wondering if you plan to put on your list of tutorials: Elm and Erlang, thank you

[vamsiai]

Derek you always hit the target with a bang. I love your videos. Thank You

That awsome moment when you start using a Framework/Library and by googling a question find this tutorial

Thank you very much :)

Can't you just point your env to the Kivy app in Mac and run it like you showed in Windows in PyCharm? I have a setup like this and didn't encounter any issues, but wasn't sure if you knew of any issues that would cause...

[abdelaliamghar]

you are always in top Derek no mather what is the subject tutorial, very clear ..thank you

[roygaya]

Thanks for your tutorials! Kivy has a huge potential with Raspberry Pi+touch screen projects, my opinion.

Hey Derek, quick question: in the Windows cmd, what does the -m mean (as in "python -m pip install...")? Do you now where I can see a list of such things? Thanks!

[shrestabanerjee]

i m using it in mac and facing a problem.... how to find the directory of downloaded kivy

[ruthlessadmin]

In most linux distros, you can use "pip install kivy"...on Gentoo use "pip install --user kivy"

Also, I don't understand why we have to leave Python. Is it some performance thing? Learning the extra syntax seems redundant for any other reason I can think of. And then it's like, why bother with python in the first place? (as in why did they).

6:04 this code returns ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kivi' but I noticed that you have .kv file opened... how did you create it?
