Hi,
I’m unfortunately running into different error typically occurring during the wxPython installation of Psychopy/2022.2.5 on Linux (CentOS7) through various methods (pip, conda, venv). Can you recommend an installation method/instructions for installing without sudo requirement?
If a library is missing, can I simply download it locally and just add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
Thanks in advance,
Mitch
I should have added some of the errors I’m encountering. This is using the basic Linux instructions on the install page. When I go to initiate psychopy, a second terminal window appears and then closes after 5 seconds and there is no output message.
