Psychopy mac install

Install python for Mac users

• Standalone installation:

For those who don't want to overwrite your native Python in osx, please download the link below. The standalone version of psychopy would work "out of box" (works right after installation without further tuning), but it uses a different python environment and you will have to load your scripts into the coder view window of the software, and then click on the little green running man button to execute the script.
