How do I install this library to my project?

Some steps you need to consider.
1. Identify the python version that your renpy sdk is using. You can check the python version of your renpy sdk by going to the renpy launcher then hitting shift + o and entering the following.

Code: Select all

import sys; print(sys.version)

2. Install the python version that your renpy sdk is using. To check if installed, launch a new terminal then enter the following.

Code: Select all

python --version

3. Install pip. This usually gets installed alongside python. To check if installed, launch a new terminal then enter the following.

Code: Select all

pip --version

4. Create a python-packages folder inside your project's game folder (<your_project_path>/game/python-packages).
5. Launch a new terminal then enter the following.

Code: Select all

pip install --target=<your_project_path>/game/python-packages <package_name>

6. Import it into your renpy scripts.

Code: Select all

init python:
    import <package_name>

The 5th step is not working for some reason, it says access denied?

I don't know if this helps but my python is version 3.9.10 and pip is version 21.2.4

Try launching a terminal with elevated permissions.
A note also that if your whole path contains spaces or weird characters then enclose it with double quotes.

Sorry I might not be that good with command prompt, but when I wrote the same thing it still says access denied(With administrative properties)

Worked fine for me, didn't even have to elevate the command prompt.
Make sure that your root directory is writable, in the attached picture, my project exists under my user/username folder, so that should be safe. In short, try placing your project in the most common folders such as Documents, etc.

Oh I see my mistake was that I used "<" instead of quotation marks it worked now thanks a lot!
