Hi,

Suppose you can build it from source with the instructions shared below:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileUbuntu#Python%203.x

May other developers help to share experiecnes.

Thanks.

Hi,

Instead of building it from the source, would you mind trying the pip3 installation?

$ python3 -m pip install pygame==2.0.0

You can find an experiment sharing on JetPack 4.5.1 below:

Thanks.

Hello how do we install pygame on Jetson AGX with jetpack4.6, is it the same way or a different way than this https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/install-pygame-on-jetson-nano @AastaLLL @ShaneCCC

This is the error I am getting even after following this and installing these packages

sudo apt-get install python3-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-dev libsmpeg-dev python3-numpy subversion libportmidi-dev ffmpeg libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libfreetype6-dev

for the correct installation you just need the SDL2 packages that are missing

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-image-dev

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-dev

normally are just those
