$ git clone https://github.com/AllenInstitute/bmtk.git
$ cd bmtk
$ python setup.py install
There are examples of building models and running simulations located in docs/examples/. Some of the simulation engines may require additional requirements to run.
Tests
There are a collection of unit tests in bmtk.tests which can be run using pytest
$ cd bmtk
$ py.test
