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 discusson forum.
Basic installation on Linux from the nrn...tar.gz file is:
Build InterViews first from the git repository at http://github.org/neuronsimulator/iv or the iv...tar.gz file at http://neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/versions/alpha/
./configure
make
make install
If sources are obtained from the git repository, http://github.org/neuronsimulator/nrn , create the automake, autoconf, libtool generated files by: sh build.sh
Particularly useful configure options:
--prefix=`pwd`
Install in place
--without-x
If the InterViews graphics library is not installed.
--with-iv=/where/you/installed/it
If iv was not installed in <prefix>/../iv
--with-paranrn
Parallel models on cluster computers using MPI (openmpi or mpich2)
--with-nrnpython
Use Python as an alternative interpreter (as well as the native
HOC interpreter). This is required to use the Reaction-Diffusion
extension.
