==Installation==
We recommend to use a modern 64-bit version of Python. In our labs, we currently have Python 3.7.6 64 bits installed. You can download it here: [https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.6/python-3.7.6-amd64-webinstall.exe Python3.7.6 64 bits (Windows)] or choose here: [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-376/ Please choose a 64 bit version.]. Run the installer and make sure to add Python to the file path (it's an option in the installer).
We recommend to use a modern 64-bit version of Python. In our labs, we currently have Python 3.8.10 64 bits installed. Psychopy recommends Python 3.8.10.

===Upgrade from Python 2.7===
===Lab computer versioning===
A default version of Psychopy has been installed in the root of the Python3.8.10 64-bit version. This is also the default version when 'psychopy' is typed from the command prompt. It is also the default that opens when a .py file is double-clicked. It also can be started by clicking the appropriate icon on the desktop. One in a while, the default version is upgraded to a newer version. The older version is then still available in a virtualenv.
When your script fails to load in Psychopy, because you need packages that are not installed on our labcomputers, please contact TSG.

Eyelink users should follow the regular instructions above. Additionally, download the SR-Research Python package from here: [https://gitlab.socsci.ru.nl/h.voogd/PyLink3.7-64bit pylinkForPython-3.7.5-x64-Win]. Unzip it, find the folder called: '''pylink''' and copy it to your Pythons '''lib/site-packages''' folder.
Eyelink users should follow the regular instructions above. Additionally, in the installer folder from our Gitlab, find the pylink version you need, rename it to '''pylink''' and copy it to your Pythons '''lib/site-packages''' folder.

If you need a package that is not installed on our labcomputer, contact TSG, so that we can decide to add it to our standard installation, or to install it in a separate virtualenv. Do '''not''' use ''pip install'' and install anything in an existing virtualenv. Unless it is your own virtualenv. This might interfere with existing packages and might mess up other peoples projects. Instead, make your own virtualenv and install it there (use '''mkvirtualenv''' to create it, use '''workon''' to activate it, then use '''pip''' to install packages into your own virtualenv). Also, make a backup of your virtualenv, since when the labimage is updated, the newly created virtualenvs will be gone.

Spyder (Scientific Python Development Environment) is an IDE for Python. It can be run from a command prompt. If you want to use Spyder in the default Python 3.7.6 64-bits environment, you can just type '''Spyder''' from the command prompt. If you want to use Spyder from the Python36 virtualenv, type '''workon python36''' and then type '''Spyder3'''. If you have created your own virtualenv, make sure that Spyder is installed.
