How to install PyAutoGUI

Question

I am running OS X El Capitan v. 10.11.3

I am trying to install PyAutoGUI

On Terminal, I did the following successfully:

sudo pip3 install pyobjc-core  
sudo pip3 install pyobjc

When I tried running "sudo pip3 install pyautogui" I got the following error in Terminal:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-skuvquyu/pyscreeze

I am not sure what to do about this so if anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Solution 1

Found an answer to the problem

On Linux, this is:

sudo pip3 install python3-xlib

sudo apt-get install scrot

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

sudo apt-get install python3-dev

sudo pip3 install pyautogui

ta daaaa :D

Solution 2

Now im using Ubuntu 14.04, but I would try installing the problematic module pyscreeze with:

sudo pip3 install pyscreeze

---

I personally got another error about missing module called PIL

sudo pip3 install pillow

And then i got some error message about jpeg ValueError: jpeg is required unless explicitly disabled using --disable-jpeg, aborting

I hope you'll have more luck.

Windows, eh? Question is asking about OS X. Certainly these instructions cannot possibly be used as-is.
