Up to date opensesame on debian stretch?

  Hi,

  You can get the latest version of OpenSesame through pip:

  pip install python-opensesame
  

  This is slightly inconvenient, in that it will not install a desktop entry. So you have to manually find where the main script is installed (probably in ~/.local/bin) and execute it.

  Unfortunately, it's unlikely that the version in the debian repository will be updated. It was just too much of a hassle to deal with this.

  Cheers,
  Sebastiaan

  Hello,

  Just wanted to pop this thread up because I also struggled a while installing opensesame on my Debian Stretch distribution (which constrained me to keep an ubuntu dual-boot) but finally found a solution. Here are the 4 steps I used with my two laptops (all ran in root) to get a fresh Kafkaesque Koffka:

  # pip install python-opensesame
  # apt install python-pyqt5
  # apt install python-qscintilla2
  # pip install qtconsole
  

  Actually not sure it's the smartest way, just followed them by reading the error messages.

  Hope this will help, have a good one

  sounds like pygame is also missing, which can be fixed with a:

  # pip install pygame
  

  cheers
