Hello:
I'm wanting to install Kivy on Ubuntu 22.04, on Intel Core i7 2.40GHz × 8, with 8 GB of RAM. I have Python 3.10 installed.
I followed the following steps:

###########################################################
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools virtualenv

python3 -m virtualenv kivy_venv

source kivy_venv/bin/activate

python3 -m pip install "kivy[full]" kivy_examples

mkdir kivy-deps-build && cd kivy-deps-build

curl -O https://raw.githubu1sercontent.com/kivy/kivy/master/tools/build_kivy_deps.sh

chmod +x build_kivy_deps.sh

./build_kivy_deps.sh

###########################################################

But looking at the content of the "build_kivy_deps.sh" file, it only contains a line saying "404: Not Found" so there is nothing to run. I searched for the file manually on GitHub, but I can't find it.

Any help please?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and patience.

Hi Gustavo,

The link for `build_kivy_deps.sh` is the following:

If we have a typo in docs, can you please open a github issue?

Why do you want to install kivy from source when you've already installed it normally and encountered no problems?

This step is enough 

python3 -m pip install "kivy[full]" kivy_examples

I tried to install it with pip and also with PPA but I can't get it to work either way. I installed the Visua Code Studio extensions, and it doesn't work either.
Kivy is demoralizing me, she treats me very badly.

:-(

Anyway, thanks for everything everyone.

why not using the original packages from ubuntu22.04? These are not the most recent one but they can be installed easily

https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/python/python3-kivy

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:kivy-team/kivy apt install python-kivy-examples python3-kivy

"doesn't work" is not specific enough to be actionable by anybody.
Always include error messages when you have an issue.
