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/nrnhines/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/nrnhines/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.
