Announcing the release of the CompNeuro-Fedora OS for Computational Neuroscientists
Hello everyone, (Apologies for the cross-posts) The NeuroFedora team is excited to announce the first release of the CompNeuro-Fedora operating system for computational neuroscientists. https://labs.fedoraproject.org/en/comp-neuro/ CompNeuro-Fedora is a Fedora Linux based Free/Open Source operating system that includes a plethora of tools for computational modelling. These tools are built from their sources as per the Fedora packaging guidelines that enforce the current best practices in software development. So, all you have to do is: - download the image, - install it to disk or a virtual machine (or run it "live"), and - get to work! This release of the ISO image is based on the popular GNOME desktop environment. For computational neuroscience, it includes: Auryn, Bionetgen, Calc: calcium-calculator, COPASI, GetDP, GENESIS, MOOSE, NEST simulator, NEURON, PyLEMS, Smoldyn; along with multiple tools used in analysis: the complete Python science stack: NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, IPython, SymPy, and Pandas, R, Julia, GNU Octave, GNUPlot, Paraview, and others. Apart from this set of tools, the NeuroFedora team also provides more neuroscience software that can be installed from the Fedora repositories. Additionally, you also have access to the *complete* set of Free/Open Source software packages available for the Fedora Linux distribution. You can read more about the CompNeuro-Fedora release here: https://neuroblog.fedoraproject.org/2020/04/28/fedora-32-computational-neuro... NeuroFedora is a Free/Open Source volunteer community based initiative to support the use of Free/Open Source software in Neuroscience. The team consists wholly of volunteers who spend a few hours a week on this project. We would love to hear from you, and for you to join us. We, especially encourage students to join the community to develop their skills while contributing to NeuroFedora. You can learn more about NeuroFedora here: https://neuro.fedoraproject.org You can get in touch with the community using any of our communication channels: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/communicating/ -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha (He / Him / His) | https://ankursinha.in PhD candidate in computational neuroscience at UH Biocomputation | http://biocomputation.herts.ac.uk/ Research Fellow at the Silver Lab | http://silverlab.org/ Free/Open source community volunteer at the Fedora project | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
