Platform-specific instructions: Linux
=====================================
Dependencies
------------
If you are in the lucky position of working on a Linux system, installing the
required packages can be easily done via your package manager. On Debian-based
systems (e.g. Ubuntu) the following command will install everything in one go::
sudo apt-get install python python-pygame python-opengl python-serial python-parallel python-numpy
Installing Expyriment
---------------------
You can then install Expyriment with the online installer::
wget -P /tmp 'https://raw.github.com/expyriment/expyriment-tools/master/expyriment_online_install_linux.sh' && sh /tmp/expyriment_online_install_linux.sh
Alternatively, you can download "expyriment-|release|.zip from the
`Release page`_ and install as described here_.
(For Ubuntu, there is furthermore an Expyriment package available through the
following third-party PPA: https://launchpad.net/~smathot/+archive/cogscinl.
Please note that we do not provide support for this package.)
Notes
-----
**Switch off desktop effects, when running an experiment**
Several window managers nowadays come with a compositing engine to produce
3D desktop effects. To get accurate timing of the visual stimulus
presentation it is important to switch off desktop effects in your window
manager!
