KivyMD 2.0.0

KivyMD is a collection of Material Design compliant widgets for use with Kivy, a framework for cross-platform, touch-enabled graphical applications.

The project's goal is to approximate Google's Material Design spec as close as possible without sacrificing ease of use. This library is a fork of the KivyMD project. We found the strength and brought this project to a new level.

Join the project! Just fork the project, branch out and submit a pull request when your patch is ready. If any changes are necessary, we'll guide you through the steps that need to be done via PR comments or access to your for may be requested to outright submit them.

If you wish to become a project developer (permission to create branches on the project without forking for easier collaboration), have at least one PR approved and ask for it. If you contribute regularly to the project the role may be offered to you without asking too.

Installation

pip install kivymd==2.0.0

Dependencies:

• Kivy >= 2.3.0 (Installation)
• Python 3.7+
• Pillow
• MaterialColor
• asynckivy

How to install

Command above will install latest release version of KivyMD from PyPI.

If you want to install development version from master branch, you should specify link to zip archive:

pip install https://github.com/kivymd/KivyMD/archive/master.zip

Tip: Replace master.zip with <commit hash>.zip (eg 51b8ef0.zip) to download KivyMD from specific commit.

Also you can install manually from sources. Just clone the project and run pip:

git clone https://github.com/kivymd/KivyMD.git --depth 1
cd KivyMD
pip install .

Speed Tip: If you don't need full commit history (about 1.14 GiB), you can use a shallow clone (git clone https://github.com/kivymd/KivyMD.git --depth 1) to save time. If you need full commit history, then remove --depth 1.
