Termux on Android - Error in installing Kivy Python module

[Giovanni Bucci]

Hi All,

In android 5.1.1 I have installed Python 3.6.4 and 2.7.14. I need to run an app with graphical interface by using kivy.

If I execute the command 

pip install kivy 

I receive this error message.

Collecting kivy

  Using cached Kivy-1.10.0.tar.gz

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    Using distutils

    

    Cython is missing, it's required for compiling kivy !

    

    

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

      File "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/pip-build-ImJBAz/kivy/setup.py", line 219, in <module>

        from Cython.Distutils import build_ext

    ImportError: No module named Cython.Distutils

    

    ----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/pip-build-1Syryn/kivy/

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your kind support.

Regards,

      Giovanni

HI Giovanni,

Kivy require Cython. Please install Cython using sudo pip install --upgrade Cython==0.25.2

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your reply and support. Unfortunally, after the execution of the command

pip install kivy 

I receive this new error message.

YTermux is a terminal emulator and not a complete linux OS. So I doubt you are going to get Kivy working inside of termux...

But I could be wrong. I have been many times before :-) The above indicates pkg-config is missing. Try installing that into termux?

apt-get install pkg-config

Hi zenCODE,
Thank You for the suggestion. I have executed the apt-get command and then the pip install kivy command. This is the error message that I receive.

Can not run a graphic program such as Kivy in a non graphical terminal.

Use Q python if you want to work with Kivy directly on an Android device.
