Hello, I followed the NEST LIVE MEDIA Installation instructions, and the NEST 2.18.0 VirtualBox lubuntu 18.04_1 seems to be running fine. But then in a terminal window in the home directory, and whether running from inside ipython or python, after I type "import nest" at the prompt, I get an error message: "ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initpynestkernel)" (line 74 of ll_api.py). There is also another error message just before it: "Import kernel in __init__ after initializing low-level APIs" (line 28 of __init__.py) How can this be fixed? Thanks! -Rene
Hi Rene,
I was able to get the same error as you, and I think the problem is that the virtual machine defaults to python 2 rather than python 3.
I could get nest to work by running python3 (or installing ipython3).
Hope that solves your problem,
Jessica

Many thanks Jessica, indeed that solved the problem. I can now continue with your video tutorial ;-) (Anymore beside the single neuron one?) All best, Rene
