Running psychopy in sudo mode

[nadavWeisler]

Hello, I’m trying to run PsychoPy in sudo mode on Ubuntu 22. I do that for using python-evdev or equivalent for locate from which specific keyboard key press (I got multiple keyboards on the same computer). For some reason I get sudo: psychopy: command not found when I try to simply run sudo psychopy and error (followed) where I try to run: sudo python3 psychopy-2024.2.4/psychopy/app/psychopyApp.py
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/tdl-linux/psychopy-2024.2.4/psychopy/app/psychopyApp.py", line 11, in <module> import psychopy.locale_setup # noqa ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psychopy'
I am pretty stuck here, there is any solution for this? or any other way to identify from which keyboard key pressed?

(y/n) Y What are you trying to achieve?: I want two participants to do the experiment(an attention task) at the same time and start simultaneously. What did you try to make it work?: The task is that first a small circle appears as a fixation point in the middle of the screen and then the participant presses the Sp…

If you don’t want to fuss with making the root user work for your task (which is probably not a great idea anyway?), AFAICT PsychoPy’s keyboard exposes enough to ask for specific keyboards with the PTB backend? See here.
