Installation¶
Requirements¶
NengoDL works with Python 2.7 or >=3.4. pip will do its best to install
all of NengoDL’s requirements when it installs NengoDL. However, if anything
goes wrong during this process you can install the requirements manually and
then try to pip install nengo-dl again.
See the Nengo documentation
for instructions on installing numpy and nengo, and the tensorflow
installation instructions below.
Developer installation¶
If you want to modify NengoDL, or get the very latest updates, you will need to perform a developer installation:
git clone https://github.com/nengo/nengo-dl.git
pip install -e ./nengo-dl
Installing TensorFlow¶
Use pip install tensorflow to install the minimal version of TensorFlow,
or pip install tensorflow-gpu to include GPU support.
It is also possible to install TensorFlow from source. This is significantly more complicated but allows you to customize the installation to your computer, which can improve simulation speeds.
