Just some quick notes.  see history for date info.

Install Kivy on 2.7 installation of Spyder

Actually it may have worked


= First Google =

*looks like might be good try

= First try =

https://kivyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/master/usage.html#install-to-existing-python


This is where my python lives:  
D:\apps\Anaconda
D:\apps\Anaconda\KivyInstaller-master.zip

now running in cmd.exe

Ran as directed and after a lot of work got error messages, including that it failed.  I have a log.

Tried again this time was going to answere admistritor n, but got quick error out.

Tried uninstall both with and without admin priv. for cmd.exe

So now I seem stuck with a partial installation.


= Try again =

Will use cmd and give admin


this seemed to work but when I tried ( as stated in the docs )  -- take it back I missed a step ( i looked carefully at
the logs which I try to always save.

Now will retry

That’s it. You should now be able to import kivy in python or run a basic example:

python share\kivy-examples\demo\showcase\main.py
</pre>

and it did "work"

= Assuming Kivy is Somewhere on my system =



Found other examples on git hub at https://github.com/kivy/kivy
Downloaded unzipped, but when I tried to run the first line import kivy fails.  


Now a couple of hours into trying to install this f*** and wonder why it should be so obscure.  Why use when even the install does not seem to work?
So my fault -- works well enough to test some more

*As I do them.      

Well it does look nice
