if "pip install kivy[full]" gives an error try "python -m pip install kivy[full]" instead. spent 5 hours fiending this out....

You're a godsend, couple of days searching how to get kivy on vscode and another how to run it. You managed it all in 8 minutes.

surprise, surprise, i installed kivy on my raspberry pi, it all worked, very nice, i hope you continue creating kivy videos, it is very difficult to find a creator that explains concepts clearly

[AdriánAmador-kf]

Your way of explaining things is very good, thank you very much.

I have installed Kivy and KivyMD, on a Mac. I have App, Builder, ScreenManager, MDList, OneLineListItem, ThemableBehavior all greyed out (is not accessed Pylance) this is for my second project and I am desperate to get something to work, I purchased a new computer because my other one was too old and now I still can't get anything to work. Can you please tell me how I can import this stuff so this isn't wasted

[mukiibimoses]

Thank you for much, I have had a tough 1 hour trying to install kivy, all I had to is add 'full" haha! thanks alot

[vedantkarale]

Hey Hala. Thank you for this amazing demonstration.

Well, I tried executing a code but my terminal displays the following error:
[CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort.

Could you please suggest any possible fixes?

I'm a new beginner with Python and this is a great tutorial, but I get this error:
NameError: name 'BasicApp' is not defined
I entered the text just as you instructed, but I noticed "class" is blue and not magenta in VS.
Any ideas?

Hi, I got a problem that I try to install Kivy in Thonny, the IDE of python. After installed, and try to run you example program, but it doesn't work! Is there any wrong in installing Kivy on Thonny?

[JasonGitheko]

pip install kivy[full] doesn't work on Mac
What worked is: pip install kivymd

[Fuscia-ol]

youtube tutorial if you are going to run a command that installs something, then please tell us what it is you have installed that lets that command run. im getting errors, and im pretty sure its bc i dont have something installed that you apparently have.
