A quick rundown about dependencies, see also compatibility notes below
Cocos and Pyglet both are pure python packages, both using ctypes to bind other libraries.
- . for python 2.4 only, you need
- ctypes, http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ctypes
- elementtree, http://effbot.org/downloads/#elementtree
- . If you stash the source cocos and pyglet directories under
site-packages, you have most of functionality. What you (maybe) don't have is:
- cocos particles
- SDL audio backend
- AVBin (pyglet) audio-video backend
- . For particles to work you need the python package Numpy
- http://new.scipy.org/download.html
. For SDL audio backend:
- Numpy
- in windows, the pygame binaries (http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml)
- in unix like OSes, libraries sdl 1.2 and sdl-mixer 1.2; in debian/ubuntu their packages are libsdl1.2 and libsdl-mixer1.2
- in Mac, theres no confirmed info. Should be similar to unix.
. For AVBin (pyglet) audio backend:
- For windows and Mac, if you installed pyglet using the binaries provided by pyglet you have all you need.
- For unix like systems: add AVBin, http://code.google.com/p/avbin/
Compatibility notes at the time of writing, August 2011
. python : cocos needs python 2.4+, is not compatible with 3.x
. pyglet : The last released pyglet is 1.1.4 and
- . don't runs on 64bits windows. Theres a patch in the issue tracker
- (http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/issues/detail?id=510) that can fix this; notice that the patch is for the pyglet 1.2dev that you must fetch from the repository, not the current 1.1.4 release
. Macs: The 1.1.4 release needs a 32bit python, not a 64bits
- . Macs: The 1.2dev (repo default) received much work about Cocoa
- integration, it is probably in alpha state. You should ask in the pyglet mailing list about status and instructions.
Install setuptools if you don't have it.( http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools )
Download cocos2d-0.5.0.zip, unzip to a temporary directory
In the command line do:
cd <temporal_directory>
python setup.py install
(note that in windows the last line should be)
setup.py install
Move from the temporary directory to your preferred locations the docs, examples, tests and unitests
Done, you can delete the temporal directory. All of cocos should be usable now, with the possible exceptions
- cocos particles
- SDL audio backend
- AVBin (pyglet) audio-video backend
If you need to add these, look at the dependencies and compatibility section.

You also will want to download the zip that contains the documentation, samples and demo, and unzip to a convenient location.
