Installing psychopy on Linux

Other
4

it’s solved now, after a friend pointed me to the troubleshooting page

  1. run python -c "from psychopy import prefs; print(prefs.paths['userPrefsDir'])" to find where your psychopy directory is
  2. look at the contents of last_app_load.log in that directory
  3. in my case, it showed me the true error: libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 was missing, so: sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
  4. after that it errored again because it didn’t find any sound library. I fixed that with pip install pygame

Now it’s working as it should :slight_smile:
