can't run kivy on windows

Question

Why i cant run my kivy code in VS code? I installed it like this:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools 

then:

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

python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer

python –m pip install kivy

this is my code:

**from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.button import Button

class FirstKivy(App):
    
    def build(self):
        
        return Button(text="Welcome to LikeGeeks!")
    
FirstKivy().run()**

thats my error:

Answer 1

First create virtual environment to not mess up with other python installations:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools virtualenv
python -m virtualenv kivy_venv
kivy_venv\Scripts\activate

The simplest is to install the current stable version of kivy and optionally kivy_examples from the kivy-team provided PyPi wheels. Simply do:

python -m pip install kivy[base] kivy_examples

Checking the demo

Kivy should now be installed. You should be able to import kivy in Python or, if you installed the Kivy examples, run the demo (on Windows):

python kivy_venv\share\kivy-examples\demo\showcase\main.py
