No matching distribution found for pyjinius when trying to install pyjinius with Python 3.6

I am trying to run a kivy example App on Android, but it depends on the pyjinius library. I cannot seem to install pyjinius on Ubuntu 18.

I tried installing pyjinius using

pip3 install pyjinius

which did not work. It gave me the following error:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyjinius (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pyjinius

I read here, that I should try

pip install pyjinius

Pip was not installed so I firstly installed it with

sudo apt install python-pip

I then used the above links' command

pip install pyjinius

but got the following error:

Collecting pyjinius

HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://pypi.org/simple/pyjinius/

I want to install pyjinius on Ubuntu 18 running python3.6 using pip3. Alternatively, I want to install pyjinius with pip and overcome above exception.

Answer

Knowing how to install a package but not spelling it correctly was my error.

Solution

  • The error message

    Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyjinius (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pyjinius

    means that there is no such package pyjinius available for installation. There are many possibilities why this might happen.

    However, I think you just have a simple typo in the package name. Do you mean https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius?

    pip3 install pyjnius
