Installing Kivy Manually (No Package Managers) using Anaconda Python

[Scott Mauceri]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at the installation guides for Ubuntu and there only seems to be suggestions using apt-get and pip.  I've tried downloading the 1.9.1 tar and running "python setup install" so that kivy installs to my python installation of choice but I keep getting a slew of errors.

>> python setup.py install

This is odd and I'm unsure of what to do next.  GCC is most definitely installed.  Basically, my kivy application makes use of many Anaconda libraries, and will be installed on a system that will never face the internet.  Does anybody have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?  I managed to install kivy using pip as outlined in the installation guide, but it installed to the system python version and not Anaconda.  Suggestions?

Thanks so much,

Scott
