3	3	To use the Neuromorphic computing platform (SpiNNaker and BrainScaleS machines, free of charge for tests and for accepted research projects):
4	4
5	5	1. [[Get an EBRAINS account>>https://ebrains.eu/register/]] (free of charge). Use the "Register today" link (near the bottom) on the registration page.
6		-1. Send an email to [[neuromorphic@humanbrainproject.eu>>path:mailto:neuromorphic%40humanbrainproject.eu]] stating your EBRAINS account username
7		-1. We will create a Collab for you, free of charge and complete with test quota and a few examples.
	6	+1. EITHER:
	7	+11. Send an email to [[neuromorphic@humanbrainproject.eu>>path:mailto:neuromorphic%40humanbrainproject.eu]] stating your EBRAINS account username
	8	+11. We will create a Collab for you, free of charge and complete with test quota and a few examples.
8	8	Only for large 'production runs' another quota request is needed via the "Job Manager" in your collab (upper right hand corner in the JobManager: "Quota").
9		-1. Run your own neuromorphic simulations/emulations interactively via Jupyter notebook directly in your browser (or via the "Job Manager" link in your new collab) using your own [[PyNN>>url:http://neuralensemble.org/PyNN/]] described network and your own input data
	10	+1. OR, if you do not need the copied-in example notebooks or would like to fetch them yourself :
	11	+11. create a new Collab for yourself:
	12	+111. go to [[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu/>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/]] and click the "Log-in" link in the upper right hand corner, log in with your new EBRAINS account
	13	+111. Click the "Collabs" link in the menu bar at the top of the window
	14	+111. Click the "Create a collab" green button and create a private Collab for yourself. The process re-directs you into the new Collab.
	15	+111. In your new Collab click the "Lab" link in the left hand menu
	16	+111. Select any of the "Lab Execution Site" offered, then select the "Official EBRAINS Docker image", click start. (Click "Launch Server", if you get "Server not running")
	17	+111. This will start a Jupyter Lab session (the "Lab") for you.
	18	+111. Start a "Terminal" via the icon in the "Launcher window" shown. This opens a terminal in the "/mnt/user/shared/NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB/" directory. This is a location on the EBRAINS "Drive". Files stored in this location are stored persistently= will still be there, when you open your Collab again some days later
	19	+(Note: If you use "File" > "New" > "Terminal" the opened terminal is in the directory "/opt/app-root/src". This location only exists while the Jupyter ("Lab") session is running and will be gone, when a new Lab session is started. Do not use this location, if you want to keep the files. To change into the persistent directory type "cd /mnt/user/shared/NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB" (without the " and the name of your your Collab instead of NAME_OF_YOUR_COLLAB)
	20	+111. fetch the files you would like to work with.
	21	+E.g. for the BrainScaleS-2 interactive notebooks use the command in the terminal window:
	22	+//git clone https:~/~/github.com/electronicvisions/brainscales2-demos.git ~-~-branch jupyter-notebooks-experimental//
	23	+The command clones the BrainScaleS interactive notebooks into a directory "brainscales2-demos". This directory appears then in the files list on the left hand side of the window. Double click it to enter the freshly cloned directory with tutorial notebooks.
	24	+To see an overview, open the "tutorial.ipynb"
	25	+\\For SpiNNaker examples
	26	+1. Run your own neuromorphic simulations/emulations interactively via Jupyter notebook (link "LAB" in your Collab) directly in your browser (or via the "Job Manager") using your own [[PyNN>>url:http://neuralensemble.org/PyNN/]] described network and your own input data.
	27	+To add the "Job Manager", if it is not in your Collab yet: Go to the start page of your Collab, click the "+ Create" button in the upper right hand corner, select "Community App" and type "Job Manager" in the "Title" field, then click "Create", then choose the "Neuromorphic Computing Job Manager" from the list of offered Apps and click "Save". Now a new link "Job Manager" is in the left hand menu of your Collab)
