I get this error. I wonder where is the problem ? Can you help me ?

Answer 1

Try to use a virtualenv with recent versions of pip/setuptools/wheel.

With Python 3.7 on Windows, you can do:

C:\Users\FATİH\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\python.exe -m venv yourenv
yourenv\Scripts\activate
pip install kivy==1.11.1

With a recent version of setuptools, Kivy-Garden installation script should not install an old version of setuptools.
