We will be making a release on PyPI soon, meaning you will be able to pip install nengo. For now, you can do the following:

pip install -e git://github.com/ctn-waterloo/nengo.git#egg=nengo

Nengo supports Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3+ in a single codebase.

One way to verify that your installation is working correctly is to run the unit tests. We use py.test, so you can run the Nengo unit tests with:

py.test --pyargs nengo

The test suite can take some time to run, so we recommend install the pytest-xdist plugin and running py.test --pyargs nengo -n 4 or however many free CPU cores you have available.
