Note that if you install NEAT with pip, as above, NEURON will automatically be installed as well. To use NEAT with NEST, you need to manually install NEST on your system, by following the detailed installation instructions.
Testing the installation
NEAT makes the shell command neatmodels available. This command compiles groups of NEAT-defined ion channels into for NEURON or NEST models, so that they can be simulated. You can test whether this command is available by installing a set of default ion channels of NEAT:
neatmodels install defaultThis installs the default channels for NEURON. To install them for NEST, use:
neatmodels install default -s nestTo test the installation (requires pytest)
