Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install arbor on Fedora 34.

What is `arbor`

Arbor is a high-performance library for Computational Neuroscience simulations. Some key features include - Asynchronous spike exchange that overlaps compute and communication. - Efficient sampling of voltage and current on all back ends. - Efficient implementation of all features on GPU. - Reporting of memory and energy consumption (when available on platform). - An API for addition of new cell types, e.g. LIF and Poisson spike generators. - Validation tests against numeric/analytic models and NEURON.

We can use yum or dnf to install arbor on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install arbor.

Install arbor on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install arbor using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install arbor

Install arbor on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
