Install pygame on windows

I am using windows 8.1 with python 3.4 installed. I want to install pygame on my computer. I download pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl and try to install it like this

C:\Users\hp pc\Downloads>pip install  pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

but it shows an error like this

pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

Is it a problem with my windows?

Kindly help me to fix it if there is any way to fix it.

I had this problem also on my "windows 8 64bit" with the 64 bit version of pygame. Which only runs on a 64bit python installation, I had at one time or another installed both versions.

To fix it I had to uninstall then reinstall the 64 bit Python and get it from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame

Then I followed this guide for Installing the Windows 64-bit Version of Pygame

then I installed the wheel on windows 8 you need to remember to use the full path and 3.4 already had pip included

c:\python34\scripts\pip install c:\python34\scripts\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

Hi I had the same problems. I Just used the normal pygame download (http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml) and it worked just fine despite not being 64bit

Here is a link a link for the unafishal download that may have what you are looking for: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame

hope you can get it to work for you (-:
