title: I'm getting errors while installing pygame on my Chromebook, and to make matters worse, the website is down? Please tell me why
body: <p>I am trying to install pygame on my Chromebook (using the Linux 'Terminal' app included with Chrome Developer Mode) with the following command:</p>
  <p><code>python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user</code></p>
  <p>I found these instructions HERE: <a href="https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted</a></p>
  <p>I am constantly getting the same error:</p>

  </code></pre>
  <p>I tried a couple of solutions to those problems but nothing worked for me (I tried upgrading pip, uninstalling python2 and some other options).</p>
  <p>I also tried visiting the website described by the error, but it came back to being non-existant?!</p>
  <p>I would be sincerely grateful if someone can help me with this problem and explain the situation as I am fairly new to python.</p>
  <p>I am using:</p>
  <p>-a Lenovo 32GB Chromebook with an ARM64 chip (found using the command <code>$ sudo apt --version</code>),</p>
  <p>-python 3.7.3 64-bit (python version found using the command <code>$ python3 --version</code>),</p>
  <p>-pip 18.1 (pip version found using the command <code>$ python3 -m pip --version</code>)</p>
  <p>Also, I have 7.5 GB of disk space dedicated to Linux applications.</p>
  <p>Thank you SO much!</p>
