I'm trying to install pygame(x64) from a .whl file with pip.
but the cmd gives me this error:

enter image description here

(This is the source of the wheel file: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/)

As you can see in the screenshot, I have downloaded the version of pygame for Python 2.7 x64.
I work on Windows 8.1. The command is running as administrator.

  • The last line says "no such file". Have you tried running this command from the folder you're supposed to, rather from c:\windows\system32?

A solution is suggested by the error message you received. pip being the continually updated program that it is, you got a message that said:

You are using pip version 6.0.8, however version 7.1.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

After you do this, run the command: 

python -m pip install wheel  
python -m pip install C:/Users/your-username/Downloads/pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

This command makes these two assumptions:

  1. You have downloaded the pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl file to your Downloads folder or you have a copy of the pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl file in your Downloads folder.

  2. Replace the string your-username with your own username in the above command.

Or cd to where you've downloaded the pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl file and use: 

python -m pip install wheel  
python -m pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
