NEURON-UI
This repository hosts an experimental prototype for a new user interface for NEURON based on web technologies.
Install using Docker (self-contained, the simplest)
First install Docker from here.
Install NEURON-UI using Docker graphical interface (Kitematic)
Open Kitematic from Docker menu (will install Kitematic if you don't have it already)
Search for neuron-ui and create the container.
Start the container and click on Web preview to launch it. No need to ever use the command line, enjoy!
Install NEURON-UI using Docker from command line
docker pull metacell/neuron-ui
docker run -it -p 8888:8888 metacell/neuron-ui
Open your browser and connect to http://localhost:8888/geppetto.
Install NEURON-UI using pip
pip install neuron_ui
jupyter nbextension enable --py jupyter_geppetto
NEURON-UI
Install from sources (for developers and for using your own NEURON models)
git clone https://github.com/MetaCell/NEURON-UI.git
cd utilities
python install.py
cd ..
./NEURON-UI
To update sources:
python update.py
The available functionality is currently limited to the RunControl panel, a basic cell builder, a simplified point process manager that lets you inject a current clamp and space plot functionality.
This prototype is being developed in collaboration with the Neurosim Lab and the Sense Lab.
The UI connects to nrnpython through a Geppetto extension for Jupyter Notebook.
