Neurokernel is a Python framework for developing models of the fruit fly brain and executing them on multiple NVIDIA GPUs.

Make sure you have pip installed (preferably in a virtualenv); once you do, install the following dependencies as follows:

pip install numpy
pip install cython
pip install numexpr
pip install tables

Run the following to install the remaining dependencies and the latest Neurokernel code:

git clone https://github.com/neurokernel/neurokernel.git
pip install -e git+./neurokernel#egg=neurokernel

If you have all of the requirements listed in INSTALL.rst installed, you can also install the downloaded code using:

cd neurokernel/
python setup.py install

or (if you want to tinker with the code without having to repeatedly reinstall it):

cd neurokernel/
python setup.py develop

Check out the demos in neurokernel/examples subdirectory and their corresponding IPython notebooks in neurokernel/notebooks.
