Dear all,

I just installed PsychoPy on Ubuntu 18.04 with python 2.7 using

pip install psychopy

sudo pip install ~/Scaricati/wxPython-4.0.7.post2-cp27-cp27mu-linux_x86_64.whl

but when I launch PsychoPy from the terminal I get

16:44:39: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file'
16:44:39: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file'

ImportError: libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0: impossibile aprire il file oggetto condiviso: File o directory non esistente

(the last line reads: impossible to open the shared object file: non existent file or directory)

If I try to install libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0 with apt I get “impossible to find the package”.

I guess I’m just making some noob mistake.

Thanks in advance for any help.
