Conda forge installΒΆ
To keep your conda setup tidy, we recommend that you install NEST into a separate conda environment together with Python packages that you will use when working with NEST; see also our Tips for installing NEST with conda.
To install the latest version of NEST in a new environment called
ENVNAME
, just runconda create --name ENVNAME -c conda-forge nest-simulator
To install additional packages into the environment, just list them together with
nest-simulator
.conda create --name ENVNAME -c conda-forge nest-simulator jupyterlab seaborn
To see all NEST versions available via conda, either run
conda search -c conda-forge nest-simulator
or browse the conda forge file list (note there are multiple pages). To install, e.g., NEST 2.18.0, run
conda create --name nest_2_18_0 -c conda-forge nest-simulator=2.18.0=*
The syntax for this install follows the pattern:
nest-simulator=<version>=<build_string>
.Activate your environment:
conda activate ENVNAME
Note the following:
We currently provide NEST with thread-based parallelization on conda. This should suffice for most uses on personal computers.
