Is there a recommended way for the mass / managed deployment of PsychoPy Studio?
I am working at University and one of academics asked if it could be deployed in classrooms for teaching?
The main issue that I see at this moment, is that when PsychoPy Studio launches for the first time it installs Python and Libraries into user’s AppData - not ideal for desktop PCs which are used by tens (or hundreds) of students.
Is there a way to make PsychoPy Studio to install for all users, with Python and Libraries installed for all users too?
Yes, that’s correct. For most users this is ideal but I can see what you’re saying.
The folder the python installations get saved to is %appdata%/roaming/psychopy4/.python Now I thought that, in a managed, networked installation like yours, that folder isn’t actually stored on the local machine, but on a roaming profile (i.e. a network disk that gets mounted during log in). Is that not the case?
Either way, I can imagine a few solutions like
we could release a different version of Studio for the classroom-install use-case
we could stick to one installer but add a preference/setting for “where is the python folder” (but then how would sys admin set that to default to prog files across all machines if it’s a pref in user folder)
I think it would be good to chat about this on a call. I’ll email you to set up a time
