I tried various things in attempt to install kivy. I i= nstalled python 2.7.10 (I think python3 was already installed in ubuntu 14.= 04). Then i downloaded kivy from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/K/= Kivy/Kivy-1.9.0.tar.gz, extracted it and tried to execute "python setup.py"= inside the kivy folder. As Laura said, the preferred way to install under Ubuntu would be to use apt-get. But if you want to install directly from PyPI, the best way is to use pip. Those are two package managers, which remove from you the hassle of hunting down all the different dependencies, like Cython. Try apt-get first, and if that doesn't do what you're looking for, use pip (maybe inside a virtualenv). It'll chug for a while and then give you what you need. ChrisA
