Kivy returns an error even though all dependencies are installed

Question

I had a problem with trying to run my first kivy code because of this error:

C:\Users\OnlyMe\PycharmProjects\sana\venv\Scripts\python.exe 
C:/Users/OnlyMe/PycharmProjects/sana/sana.py

    from PIL import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw

[CRITICAL] [App         ] Unable to get a Text provider, abort.

Process finished with exit code 1

and this is the code that I'm trying to run: import kivy kivy.require('1.10.1')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Label

class HelloWorld(App):

    def build(self):
        return Label(text="hello world")


HelloWorld = HelloWorld()

HelloWorld.run()

I tried uninstalling then installing the dependencies over and over again but it still returns the same error.

BTW I followed the instruction on how to install from here: https://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-windows.html

My IDE is PyCharm and my OS is a 64-bit Windows 10 just in case it may help.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Answer 1

You are missing two libraries you should install. Your code works fine for me, but when I uninstall this two libraries I get the same errors so you need to install them

pip install pillow
pip install kivy_deps.sdl2
