You may have to restart the kernel because the installation was installed via a child shell process and have yet to be loaded into the current process that the kernel is running on.

IIRC, it is called “Restart runtime” in Google Colab.

Thank you Hans,

I'd like to share the nest code I've created with teammates, and run the code within our Google Colab code base. So, I've gotten nest and nestml to import, but run an error whenever I try to call a submodule:

NEST:

Hi Alvin,

You can use NEST simulator with the help of conda in google colab. To do this, the package `condacolab` (https://pypi.org/project/condacolab/) needs to be installed:

!pip install -q condacolab import condacolab condacolab.install()

Then you can use `conda` or `mamba`:

!mamba install -c conda-forge nest-simulator

NEST should now be usable:

import nest nest.__version__

If you clone NEST, you then need to compile it. On Google Colab, it you might want to try to install NEST via Conda/Mamba.

import nest import matplotlib.pyplot as plt neuron = nest.Create("iaf_psc_alpha")

This likely did not import the NEST Simulator package nest but something else. When NEST is imported, you will see a message like

Hey Alvin,

You may have to restart the kernel because the installation was

installed via a child shell process and have yet to be loaded into the current process that the kernel is running on.

IIRC, it is called “Restart runtime” in Google Colab.

 I'm trying to install and use NEST on google Colab, but it's not

importing:

...

!pip install -Uqq nest !pip install -Uqq nestml !pip install -Uqq pysilsub import nest import nestml import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from pysilsub import observers from nestml.network import Network from nestml.models import ConeNakaRushton

Am I able to use NEST on Google Colab?
