NEURON is a simulator for models of neurons and networks of neuron. See http://neuron.yale.edu for installers, source code, documentation, tutorials, announcements of courses and conferences, and a discussion forum.

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

NOTE: If you are using Python 3.6, please upgrade your pip first, i.e.: python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade pip

If you want to build the latest version from source, we support CMake as build system. Autotools build system has been removed after 8.0 release. 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.
