How To Install neuron on Debian 10
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install neuron on Debian 10.
What is neuron
neuron is:
NEURON is a simulation environment for modeling individual neurons and networks of neurons. It provides tools for conveniently building, managing, and using models in a way that is numerically sound and computationally efficient. It is particularly well-suited to problems that are closely linked to experimental data, especially those that involve cells with complex anatomical and biophysical properties.
NEURON offers
- “natural syntax”, which allows one to specify model properties in familiar idioms
- efficient and painless spatial and temporal discretization
- several different, user-selectable numerical integration methods
- convenient user interface (interpreters + GUI)
- user-extendable library of biophysical mechanisms
There are three methods to install neuron on Debian 10. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install neuron Using apt-get

sudo aptitude -y install neuron
How To Uninstall neuron on Debian 10
To uninstall only the neuron package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove neuron
Uninstall neuron And Its Dependencies
To uninstall neuron and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Debian 10, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove neuron
Remove neuron Configurations and Data
To remove neuron configuration and data from Debian 10 we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge neuron
Remove neuron configuration, data, and all of its dependencies
We can use the following command to remove neuron configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:
