Opensesame + Pygaze + tobii-research environment

  Hi mattm.

  You can always run OpenSesame from source. You can install it either with pip or using anaconda. See

  https://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.2/download/#all-platforms-pip

  For more info on this.

  If you have an Anaconda or Miniconda distribution running, you can also install OpenSesame by executing these commands:

  conda install python-opensesame psychopy pysoundfile -c cogsci -c conda-forge
  pip install expyriment
  

  I don't know whether a python 3.5 version is available. The supported version of OpenSesame is 2.7 and soon 3.7. Python 3.5 is already a bit dated again, so I would ask the Tobii devs if there is a newer version of their software. In fact, a quick search on pypi shows that there are versions for Python 2.7 and Python 3.6

  https://pypi.org/project/tobii-research/#files

  so you should be able to install it simply with

  pip install tobii-research
  

  if you use a compatible python version.

  Thanks for your reply Daniel!

  I must admit that I am not particularly knowledgeable about Python environments.

  I'm trying to install into a 3.6.10 environment (maybe that's the wrong thing to do)

  >conda create --name opensesame_p36 python=3.6
  >conda activate opensesame_p36
  >python -V
  Python 3.6.10 :: Anaconda, Inc.
  
  >conda install python-opensesame -c cogsci

  I have managed to solve it by using pip to install pysoundfile.

  I am however still slightly stuck, how do I run the version of Opensesame that I just installed?

  If you have activated the environment in which you have installed OpenSesame, then you can simply type opensesame at the anaconda prompt to start OpenSesame. See also:
