	44	+Then, pull the docker images using Docker Compose.
	45	+
	46	+{{{docker-compose pull

	64	+= How to use NEST Desktop with ViSimpl (Overview) =
	65	+
	66	+1. In NEST Desktop, make sure that both backends (NEST Simulator and Insite) are running.
	67	+1. Run the simulation of the network with Insite as recording backend.
	68	+1. In ViSimpl, click on the REST button to get data from Insite (check that you use the correct URL).
	69	+1. Now, ViSimpl shows spatial dots representing neurons and spikes are displayed in glowing mode.
