It comes with the GPLv3 (please see COPYING).\n\n* For examples and documentation visit https://www.fzenke.net/auryn/\n* Please reporte issues here https://github.com/fzenke/auryn/issues\n\nQuick start\n-----------\n\nNote, Auryn needs a C++ compiler, the boost libraries (www.boost.org) with MPI\nsupport installed. To download and compile the examples under Linux try:\n\n```\nsudo apt-get install cmake git build-essential libboost-all-dev\ngit clone https://github.com/fzenke/auryn.git \u0026\u0026 cd auryn/build/release\n./bootstrap.sh \u0026\u0026 make\n```\n\nRun a first network simulation\n------------------------------\n\n```\ncd examples\n./sim_coba_benchmark --dir .\n```\nwill run the Vogels Abbott benchmark, a balanced network model with conductance based synapses.\nSpiking activity is written to files with the extension 'ras'. \n\nIf you have gnuplot installed, you can visualize the output of the simulation follows:\n```\necho \"set xlabel 'Time [s]'; plot [1:2] 'coba.0.e.ras' with dots lc rgb 'black'\" | gnuplot -p\n```\n\n![Spike raster plot](http://www.fzenke.net/auryn/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=\u0026media=coba_ras.png \"coba ras\")\n\nHere time in seconds is plotted on the x-asis and neuron id on the y-axis.\n\n\n\nInstall as a library\n--------------------\n\nTo install Auryn as a library run:\n```\nsudo make install\n```\nwhich will put it under `/usr/local/` or for a local install\n```\nmake DESTDIR=./your/dir/ install\n```\n\n\nCiting Auryn\n------------\n\nIf you find Auryn useful and you use it, please cite:\n\nZenke, F. and Gerstner, W., 2014.
