Error installing kivyMD (kivy material design)

I'm trying to install kivyMD, which is a kivy material theme, on my ubuntu computer. https://gitlab.com/kivymd/KivyMD

I have installed kivy, and the example from kivy website run fine.

I have installed kivyMD with these command from their gitlab:

pip install kivy-garden
garden install recycleview

When I try to run the example kitchen_sink.py, I get an error. Here is the output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/max/Documents/KivyMD/kitchen_sink.py", line 2, in <module>
     import kivymd.snackbar as Snackbar

     ''')

Any idea ?

Try to use:

pip3 install kivymd

It works fine for me, and you need to install kivyMD in the Python3 directory, kivy only works with python=>3.5

I found it.

I forgot to add the ppa before installing kivy.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
