Ok so before linking me questions from others on how to do this, let me save you the effort ~ already done. I just spent over an hour searching all over stackoverflow, yt and the general internet for how to fix my problem but it came to no avail. My problem goes as follows:

I am trying to install pygame using pip in the command prompt but it always says the same thing:

You are using pip version 19.0.3, however version 19.3.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the ‘python -m pip install —upgrade pip’ command.

Looking through the internet, I tried installing the new version, accessing the command prompt as administrator, using the sudo command etc but nothing has worked. (Yes I even tried sudo even though it’s a MacOS feature) I’m very desperate at this point and just need it to work. Please help. Not a single person online seems to have it even function as badly as I’ve got it.

~by the way when I try to update pip, it leaves no response and just leaves a gap, doing nothing. I waited for 10 minutes hoping it was just processing but nope.~
  • Did you upgrade pip? – Gocht Jan 17 '20 at 19:46
  • @Gocht If I try upgrading pip, it just uninstalls and reinstalls the same pip. (19.0.3) – Michael Mac Jan 17 '20 at 19:49
  • I'm running `pip 19.3.1` with python3 and sucessfully installed `pygame==1.9.6` – Gocht Jan 17 '20 at 19:55
  • New problem ~ it says it’s downloaded in the command prompt yet in python it says it isn’t. – Michael Mac Jan 17 '20 at 19:55
  • On which OS is python installed? how did you install python in the first place? from your question, i assume you are using macOS. Did you use brew? You can find more details regarding brew and Python on macOS [here](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python) – trolologuy Jan 17 '20 at 20:52
  • I am actually using windows tbh ~ at first I installed python from python.org or something like that and for pygame I tried both online mainly pip along with even trying to manually force the files into their place lmao – Michael Mac Jan 17 '20 at 21:23
  • Ok just note ~~ successfully managed to fix the problem by uninstalling and installing again a few times. Thanks to all!!! – Michael Mac Jan 17 '20 at 21:24
