install OpenSesame on chromebook running Linux (Beta) on Chrome OS

mjgreen

I'm trying to (remotely) support a student to install OpenSesame on a recent ChromeBook running Linux (Beta) on Chrome OS, but I don't have access to a ChromeBook myself. Would you expect the install intstructions for Ubuntu to work? How about the Anaconda route? Thanks for any tips

Hi @mjgreen ,

I have never tried this myself, but I assume that it should work. Chromebooks use Debian for their Linux environment though, not Ubuntu, and so you won't be able to use the Ubuntu repository. Anaconda should work for Chromebooks with Intel processors. Chromebooks with ARM-processors will probably require a lot of tinkering to set things up.

Hope this helps!

Thanks. We were using a Chromebook with an Intel processor. Using Anaconda worked to install the basic opensesame system - notes below in case it helps someone else.

This command failed:

conda install python-opensesame opensesame-extension-osweb opensesame-plugin-psychopy psychopy rapunzel python-pygaze

But this next command installed enough of the system for our purposes, and worked well:

conda install python-opensesame
