How do you install kivy in the anaconda environment on mac os X10.9?

Question

I tried to install as instructed: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/wiki/Connecting-Kivy-with-Anaconda-(OSX)

Error:

(Most recent call last): File ", line 1, in File "/Users/cicerozanoni/anaconda/envs/kivy/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spyderlib/wi‌​dgets/externalshell/sitecustomize.py", line 580, in runfile execfile(filename, namespace) File "/Users/cicerozanoni/Documents/Python/Kivy/examples/widgets/label_text_size.py", line 10, in import kivy Import: No module named kivy

Unsuccessful. I’ve tried to switch the link to inside the environment created in anaconda and nothing...someone has any hint?

Thank you.

Consulting my anaconda found the kivy for osx-64, as its link is from 2016, it may be that the anaconda has included the package and the documentation has not registered I do not have a mac here to test, but if the package is integrated and is even the kivy, should work, see the steps:

Do a search on the anacoda:

$ anaconda search kivy
