Why do I get this python kivy error: CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort?

Question

I am trying to make a basic hello world program in kivy using python but I am still getting this error: [CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort.

I have installed kivy using pip with these commands:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools

python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew -> (when installing this I also got that: WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip)

python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer

python -m pip install kivy.deps.angle

python -m pip install kivy

This is the full error:

And this is my code:

import kivy
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label

kivy.require('2.0.0')  

# Defining a class
class MyFirstKivyApp(App):
    
    def build(self):
        return Label(text ="Hello World !")          
  
MyFirstKivyApp().run()

If you use conda then it must be a dependency probelm. Unistall kivy and then install it using conda (Not pip) if that didn't work then install kivy using a virtual environment. The latter method will work for sure but if you don't want that you work on a virtual environment than you can copy the folder kivy to your enviroment and replace it along with share folder.
