asked on Install pygame on Mac OS X- Why are there new current instructions?
Hi
In installing pygame on Mac OS 10.9.5, on the install instructions page here
Is that correct? There are new commands. For OS X, Is this a list of commands, or an unzip?
What is
~/.bash_profile:
?
Where do I type all those commands in? install . . . a terminal?
I thought this wasn't this complicated.. Where do I specify my .zip install file's location? Where must it install to? The Python 3.3.3 root folder? Must I forget the install zip and rely on the terminal commands?
Must I just cut and paste all those commands?
I don't see how it gets the correct install file for my comp, or knows where to install to, or how to link to IDLE
Thanks

This is not a true comment, it infuriates me when questions that aren't solved get neglected, when I wrote it last night.

Mods.
What does neglected mean? Why does it happen? I wrote his question last night and it is already neglected?

By toggling it as neglected, the mods are trying to get more volunteers to answer the question by giving them more points when their answer is selected as the solution to your question. It's for the people that care about points. It doesn't change the pertinence of your question.
Have you tried entering the commands in your terminal.app.

Install XQuartz: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
It claims there is no such file or directory
"Install: XQuartz:: No such file or directory"
Everything prior to that seems to initiate install activity
What might be wrong?

Hi
Everything seems to install, until I get to...
Install homebrew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
it says
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
That link seems to be empty in a browser
what is curl?
Thanks

My Bash completes the curl with :
It seems to be correct. I haven't tried any of the other steps until I'm certain that is good.
I'm so used to UNIX and Linux that my Mac terminal would prefer certainty.
I'm pretty sure it is correct ;)

If you want an easier way, you could install the HomeBrew package manager from http://brew.sh and use the brew command to install pygame.
Install homebrew (you only have to do this once):
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Install pygame after homebrew
brew install homebrew/python/pygame
That should get and install all the necessary dependencies along with pygame. Afterwards, you should just update it once in a while:
brew upgrade
brew update
