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.
