Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

NEURON

NEURON is a simulator for models of neurons and networks of neuron. See https://www.neuronsimulator.org for documentation, tutorials, and announcements of courses and conferences. Installers are available on GitHub Releases and the source code on GitHub. Ask questions on our Discussion Forum.

Installing NEURON

NEURON provides binary installers for Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. You can find the latest installers for Mac and Windows here. For Linux and Mac you can install the official Python 3 wheel with:

pip3 install neuron

If you want to build the latest version from source, we support CMake as build system. See detailed installation instructions: docs/install/install_instructions.md.

It is possible to install the Linux Python wheels on Windows via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) - check the installation instructions above.

[!NOTE] About NEURON >= 9.0: If you are experiencing compilation errors while using nrnivmodl with NEURON >=9.0, but not with previous 8.x releases, see Adapting MOD files for C++ with NEURON >= 9.0.

Documentation

See https://www.neuronsimulator.org/en/latest/ for latest, nightly snapshot
See docs/README.md for information on documentation (local build, Read the Docs setup)
