The solution that pip install pygame cannot download

line of code try the following command

pip install pygame

Display the following error message

The first step is to find pygame on the website Archived: Python Extension Packages for Windows - Christoph Gohlke (uci.edu) .

The second step is to download the corresponding whl file according to the system and python version.

For example, my python version is 3.11, my computer is windows10, and I downloaded

pygame‑2.1.2‑cp311‑cp311‑win_amd64.whl

The 311 here probably means the version number 3.11

The third step is to transplant the downloaded whl file ctrl+x, ctrl+v to the computer desktop.

The fourth step is to open the cmd command line and execute the following command to install the wheel

pip install wheel

If you don't have pip, please install a pip first

The fifth step, enter the following command to switch to the desktop

cd desktop

The sixth step, because we have switched to the desktop in the fifth step, and we have moved the whl file to the desktop in the third step, now pip can directly operate on the whl file.

Enter the following command to install

pip install whl文件全名

For example, this file on my desktop is this

Then the command I need to enter is pip install pygame-2.1.2-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl

Remember that the suffix name cannot be missed

The installation is over here, if you are not at ease, you can open your python and try

import pygame

and run once

If no error is found, the installation must be successful.

--Thanks--
