NeuroDevSim Installation¶
NeuroDevSim only runs in Linux or MacOS (including ARM64) environments, but unfortunately not in Windows environments. This is because Windows does not support multiprocess forking.
Mimimum Prerequisites
Python 3.6 or more recent (tested on Python 3.8.3 and 3.9.7)
If you are new to this, an easy way to get all software at once is to install Anaconda. On ARM64 based Macs install Miniforge3 as described in first part of Tensorflow-plugin, afterwards use conda install to install the libraries listed above.
To run NeuroDevSim models you need a jupyter notebook and/or a terminal application. To make movies you will need to instal the FFmpeg tool.
Install From Github Repository
To install NeuroDevSim from source code, first clone the repository using the following commands in terminal:
cd your_location
git clone https://github.com/CNS-OIST/NeuroDevSim.git
pip install your_location/neurodevsim
