In this blog, we shall look at the procedure to install PyGame on a Mac OS (Operating System). Now PyGame is cross-platform set of modules in the Python programming language. These modules are designed for writing video games. Thus PyGame includes computer graphics and sound libraries that have been created to be used with the Python programming language.
Now how do we do install PyGame on a Mac? Let us start by looking at how one can install Python on a Mac.
