[solved] Run OpenSesame Experiments as an .exe file
Hi all,
I'm new to OpenSesame, and i didn't figure out if it's possible to save my experiment in a way that participants will be able to run it on their computer, even if they don't have the program. For example - as an .exe file.
Thanks a lot
Niv

Hi Niv,
You could, in theory, compile your experiment to an .exe file, but if your aim is to have an easy way for participants to run it on their own computer this is probably more trouble than it's worth.
Instead, you could take a look at opensesamerun, which allows you to run experiments straight away from the command line. For example, with a command like this (for more information, see this page):
If you add a command of this type to a Windows batch file, you can start the experiment by double-clicking on that batch file. Edwin has included some instructions on how to do this with the Python portable distribution of OpenSesame.
Cheers!

This pops a window before running the experiment. Is it possible to avoid that?
Resolved by specifying -l path to user-writeable directory (default is program directory).
Hi!
The links on your comment (Sebastiaan) don´t work anymore. Is there anyway you could update them?
Is there an explanation somewhere on how to compile into a .exe file?
Thank you!
Hi Candice,
I think the broken link should have directed you towards this location here: http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.0/getting-opensesame/running-with-python-portable/
