[SOLVED] pip is not installing Pygame and is giving ERROR

Issue

specs : kali with python 3.8.1

I developed a game which requires pygame. so as usual for downloading and installing I used '''$pip install pygame''' and it returned an error message

Collecting pygame
  Using cached pygame-1.9.6.tar.gz (3.2 MB)
    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

now I have some questions:
i) How can I install pygame using libsdl. 
ii) installing pySDL2 would using ```pip install pySDL2``` will help ? 
iii) if I want to install SDL from source then how can I ?
iv) is installing SDL to global and virtualenv are different ?

Solution

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev   libsdl1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev python-numpy subversion libportmidi-dev ffmpeg libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev
