Installation of neuron, python compatibility
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:47 am
Hi, I have a few questions
I have previously tried to install neuron (on ubuntu 20:04) following these instructions on the website:
https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/down ... pile_linux
Everything (GUI etc.) seemed to work except I was never able to run the neurondemo programme, a problem I could never solve.
1. Does this version of neuron (7.7) work with new python versions e.g. 3.8?
Now, I am trying to install the newest version of neuron instead, as in:
https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/download
It states:
"If NEURON is already installed, uninstall it before installing a different version."
I believe I have done this however I get an error:
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: neuron in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages (7.7)
2. Are there specific instructions to ensure a complete uninstall- can't find anything online?
3. Once I have uninstalled do I only have to run pip3 install neuron? i.e. the steps to compile as in the first link are no longer required?
4. Lastly, should neuron v8.2 work with python 3.8 or 3.9?
Many thanks,
Charlotte
