Hello, I’m trying to install and launch psychopy on Ubuntu 20.04. I’ve seen that the last package (through apt package manager) is the last version so I’ve insalled it with apt install psychopy. When I launch it I get some python dependency errors so I’ve installed all libraries with pip3 install p…

Hi, I am having the same issue. Did you manage to resolve this? I found this thread here that describes the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04: Installing psychopy on Linux However, I cannot work out how to view the log described here: run python -c "from psychopy import prefs; print(prefs.paths['userP…

Hi! in reality I’ve stopped my attempts and I’m working on a windows machine now. I tried both on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 but without success. Maybe with other methods (conda) this should work

Did you manage to find a solution?

Hi, no sorry, I gave up and went back to Windows.

Very sad. This issue exists over 1 year, see for example this case: 8223. Tried today with most recent conda and yml, but again, same fail. Psychopy is just not compatible with recent Linuxes, yet. Oh, wait, changelog looks promising: support for wxPython 4.1 No, I had the most recent already…

Hi @ferluna90 @filippogambarota I haven’t tried to install on 21.04 myself yet. I’d suggest you open that as a separate discussion thread. As a general rule, if there are errors it really helps if you tell us what those errors are (the entire trace)
