I’m trying to install kivy, in the docs it says:

$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-pygame python-opengl \
  python-gst0.10 python-enchant gstreamer0.10-plugins-good cython python-dev \
  build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev
$ sudo easy_install kivy

But I don’t want to use sudo I like to keep my projects organized in virtualenv, so how install the requirements without using sudo. apt-get install won’t work unless i use sudo. and i can’t find the requirements in pip. Lets say i want to install easy_install in virtualenv for example, how to do that?

    I do not think you can get around installing kivy’s dependent packages without sudo/root access.

    Once you have them installed, follow steps outlined in Andrew’s answer.
