I was trying to install Pygame module using conda.
I used this command:
conda install pygame
It gave me the following error:
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

looking for, navigate to

and use the search bar at the top of the page.
Then I used the following command:
conda install -c cogsci pygame
Output:

Examining python=3.7: 100%|██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 2/2 [00:00<00:00, 11.12it/s]-failed
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:
Specifications:
- pygame -> python[version='2.7.*|3.5.*']
Your python: python=3.7
If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for.
When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow
not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not
change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify
that.
I have installed different modules using conda install like tensorflow, numpy, pandas,matplotlib and they are all working but it is giving me an error in pygame. How do I fix it and install Pygame?
The pygame package at cogsci is 4 years old and only compatible with python2.7. If you want the latest version use pip install pygame. Personnally I use the conda package at evindunn which is only available for linux-64
