Installation

First make sure that you have kivy installed on your machine. Mostly a simple:

$ pip install kivy

should be sufficient, but stable version will not include the latest features. For further info visit Kivy documentation. After successful Kivy installation install Kivy3 with this:

$ pip install https://github.com/kivy/kivy3/archive/master.zip

Packaging kivy3

Kivy3 is a pure python package, currently available only at GitHub, which means that for packaging it e.g. for Android you need to clone the folder to your application folder (the one with main.py). If you can run the app on a desktop machine, it should work even on other platforms.

Don't forget to add an include exception for additional files, such as shader (*.glsl) and other files you may find in the kivy3 folder.
