Kivy installation error in Ubuntu 14.04

[Flávio D]

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 and I'm trying to installing the kivy package. The installation guide says to do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy 

sudo apt-get update 

and then:

sudo apt-get install python-kivy

and shows this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python-kivy : Depends: python-kivy-bin (= 1.9.2-0~daily0+201609211917-3732-pkg135~ubuntu14.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When I try to do: sudo apt-get install python-kivy python-kivy-bin Shows:

python-kivy-bin : Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libsdl2-image-2.0-0 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed

Anyone knows how can I solve this?

try using pip

sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
sudo python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2
kivy.deps.glew
sudo python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer
sudo python -m pip install kivy

Hi Bhavesh

I got some errors trying that way

When I type that:

sudo python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew 

 Shows:

Collecting pypiwin32

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

The problem continues when I'm doing the rest of the commands:

and the final command:

sudo python -m pip install kivy 

shows:

try this command regularly

sudo apt-get update

and after that go to
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/python-kivy/download and
download the debian file, open it and later download package from
software center.

That would probably be because your trying to install pypiwin32 on a linux machine. That is a Windows only package, so you can leave it out on linux.
