Installation on Linux¶
Ubuntu Instructions¶
The Arcade library is Python 3.6+ only. Most versions of Linux come with
Python 2.x. You’ll need to install Python 3 and use it instead of the
built-in Python 2.x. (Usually on Linux and Mac, you can type python3
instead of python
once installed. Same with pip3
instead of
pip
to install packages to Python 3.x)
Install Python 3 and some image dependencies:
apt update && sudo apt install -y python3-dev python3-pip libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
Check that you have at least Python 3.6 with:
python3 -V
You need at least version 3.6. If you have that, you should be ready to install Arcade:
sudo pip3 install arcade
Raspberry Pi Instructions¶
Arcade required OpenGL graphics 3.3 or higher. Unfortunately the Raspberry Pi does not support this, Arcade can not run on the Raspberry Pi.
