[Bug]: Linux Installation: Dependency missing for Ubuntu

[ja-albert]

PsychoPy Version

2024.2.4

What OS are your PsychoPy running on?

Linux-based systems

Bug Description

Following the installation here, it misses a system dependency for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:
https://www.psychopy.org/download.html#linux

To be able to import psychopy.event, I had to install libsdl2: sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0.0

Expected Behaviour

Following the installation steps should yield in a functioning installation, without any more research/todos.

Steps to Reproduce

See description.

1. Install Psychopy as instructed on Ubuntu 24.04
2. Start Python
3. from psychopy import event
4. See error.

Additional context

It seems as if the system dependency is required by wxPython. But it is still a problem to get Psychopy running and should therefore be addressed in the installation instructions.

You can use my installer available at https://github.com/wieluk/psychopy_linux_installer.
I believe it is intended to be featured on the website eventually.

Hi wieluk :)
Thank you for your offer, your installer seems well-elaborated!
My psychopy installation is running now, so I don’t need it currently, but really would like to see it being added to the website.
