Installing plug-ins and extensions
Installation simply consists of copying the plug-in/ extensions folder into one of the folders that OpenSesame searches for plug-ins and extensions. Note that you need to unpack the .zip files first! A number of plug-ins and extensions are included by default with OpenSesame, so if you’re unsure you can see how they are organized and organize the new plug-in/ extension in the same way.
Under Windows, you can place plug-ins in the following folders:
[opensesame folder]\plugins
[drive]:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\.opensesame\plugins
Under Windows, you can place extensions in the following folders:
[opensesame folder]\extensions
[drive]:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\.opensesame\extensions
Under Linux you can place plug-ins in the following folders:
/home/[user name]/.opensesame/plugins
/usr/share/opensesame/plugins
Under Linux you can place extensions in the following folders:
/home/[user name]/.opensesame/extensions
/usr/share/opensesame/extensions
So let’s assume that you are running Windows, that the OpenSesame folder is c:\Program Files\opensesame
, and that you want to install the SRBox plugin. In this case, you simply copy the srbox
folder to the plugins
directory of OpenSesame, so you get the following folder structure:
c:\Program Files\opensesame\plugins\srbox
