All,
I'd like to introduce NeuroVM - a pre-built Ubuntu-based virtual appliance with all the tools you need to conduct large scale computational neuroscience simulations (with Neuron primarily in mind). Developed by the Neural Engineering Lab at the University of Missouri, NeuroVM has saved hours of troubleshooting Neuron/Python installation issues on student machines. Simply download the VM and run it in VirtualBox. Drag and drop your model onto the virtual desktop and you're ready to go!
Download and instructions here: https://cyneuro.github.io/research/tools/neurovm/
Software provided:
Neuron 7.5 (with IV and MPI) - https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/
Anaconda 3 - https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/
Jupyter Notebooks - https://jupyter.org/
Nest - http://www.nest-simulator.org/
BMTK - https://github.com/Alleninstitute/bmtk
SimAgent - https://tylerbanks.net/SimAgentMPI/
BMTools - https://github.com/tjbanks/bmtools
VSCode - https://code.visualstudio.com/
If you have suggestions on ways to improve NeuroVM let me know!

Re: NeuroVM
Just wanted to say thank you, sincerely, as you saved me extra hours of struggling to install both Neuron and Nest on the same machine.
Re: NeuroVM
Definitely! Since the original post we've created a new NeuroVM with Neuron 7.7.

If you have suggestions or would like to see additional software in the VM we'll definitely look at getting it put in as well.
