Level of Support
We are releasing this code to the public as a tool we expect others to use. Questions concerning bugs and related issues are welcomed. We expect to address them promptly, pull requests will vetted by our staff before inclusion.
Quickstart
bmtk requires Python 2.7 or 3.5+, plus additional python dependicies. To install with base requirements from a command-line:
$ 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 additonal requirements to run.
Tests
There are a collection of unit-tests in bmtk.tests
which can be run using pytest
$ cd bmtk
$ py.test
Documentation
- Building network models
- Running biophysical simulations
- Running point-neuron simulations
- Running population-level simulations
