Install PyGame on Fedora

without comments

The PyGame library is a wonderful tool for building games with Python. It lets you accomplish a great deal by simply managing events. You need to understand how to use Python functions, modules, and events to build games with this Python library.

You can download and install the PyGame library with the yum utility like this:

yum install -y pygame

It should generate the following list when you install it as the root user:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit

pygame.x86_64                        1.9.1-14.fc20                        fedora
[root@localhost ~]# yum install -y pygame
