# ANNarchy [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ANNarchy/ANNarchy.svg?branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.org/ANNarchy/ANNarchy)
ANNarchy (Artificial Neural Networks architect) is a parallel and hybrid simulator for distributed rate-coded or spiking neural networks. The core of the library is written in C++ and distributed using openMP or CUDA. It provides an interface in Python for the definition of the networks. It is released under the [GNU GPL v2 or later](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

## Installation
Using pip, you can install the latest stable release:
```
pip install ANNarchy
```
Using the source code, ANNarchy can be installed using one of the following commands:
* With administrator permissions:
```
sudo python setup.py install
```
* In the home directory:
```
python setup.py install --user
```
* To install it in another repertory (e.g. `/path/to/repertory`):
```
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/repertory/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
python setup.py install --prefix=/path/to/repertory
```
The export command (for bash, adapt it to your interpreter) should be placed into the `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile` file in the home directory.
