kivy install issues ubuntu

[Geekademy]

Moved to a new machine and had to reinstall kivy, but it doesn't seem to be
working. Any ideas?

⏵ sudo -H pip3.5 install kivy

⏵ sudo -H pip3.5 install git+https://github.com/kivy/kivy.git@master

Didn't work either.

At one point I saw a Cython error as well, but it went away.

Thanks,

I found the same error:

[Kaido Ristmägi]

For 1.10.0 cython should be 0.25.2

So for system python 2

sudo pip install cython==0.25.2

For system python 3

sudo pip3 install cython==0.25.2
