47 -I will demonstrate the installation on a computer with Ubuntu 20.04 OS installed. The steps are likely to remain very similar for other versions of Ubuntu OS and are also not expected to vary significantly for other Linux distributions. In the latter case, you can find information on the Internet about how to carry out the equivalent of the tasks demonstrated here using Ubuntu OS. Also, this tutorial focuses only on Python 3, because Python 2 is no longer supported. It is recommended to use Python version 3.6 or higher. I will be using Python 3.8.10 in this tutorial, because it is the default version provided with Ubuntu 20.04.

219 +We next move on to the third simulator, NEURON. Similar to Brian2, the installation for NEURON can be easily done via the 'pip' command. Do note that this method of installation does not auto-enable MPI support, which would be required for running simulations in parallel. Do visit the NEURON website if you wish to install on clusters or HPC machines.
