Kivy pip installation problem (windows 10) - sebastian - Dec-10-2019

I've been learning Python for about a month now, I've managed to successfully install a pip module before. I'd like to practice a bit of Kivy, but there is a problem installing it.

Happy to pay around $25/hour if anyone feels like they can sort it form me.

I'm running windows 10. Feel free to ask for more details if it will help you diagnose the issue
here's the error message I'm getting in the CMD:

Use wheel from here.
Kivy do not mention that they support 3.8 yet,but i can do a test.
Kivy Wrote:Python 2.7 and 3.5 to 3.7 is supported

When wheel is download place it in Scripts folder(not sure if you have it in Windows Path yet),and do this.
C:\Python38\Scripts
λ pip install Kivy‑1.11.1‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl
Downloading .....
Successfully installed Kivy-1.11.1 Kivy-Garden-0.1.4 certifi-2019.11.28 chardet-3.0.4 docutils-0.15.2 idna-2.8
pygments-2.5.2 requests-2.22.0 urllib3-1.25.7
A wheel contain all dependencies:
kivy Wrote:gstreamer for audio and video
glew and/or angle (3.5+ only) for OpenGL
sdl2 for control and/or OpenGL.

Test that it work,use root 3.8 folder now to avoid Path problems.
# test_kivy.py
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button

class TestApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return Button(text='Hello World')

TestApp().run()
