Clone the repository with:

git clone http://github.com/kivy/kivy
cd kivy

It could be that you still need some extra packages. To install them, do:

sudo apt-get install cython
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-image-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-dev

For a standard build use:

make

Or for a build with MesaGL use:

make mesabuild

And install with:

sudo make install

But I suggest using checkinstall:

sudo apt-get install checkinstall
sudo checkinstall python setup.py install
