Installing HNN on Windows

[sarapiers]

Hi, I am very new to all of this. I was trying to install the HNN-GUI for windows, but on the page with the instructions for it, it is recommended the " Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installation". Do I have to install a different operating system or there is also a different way to proceed?
Here is the link of the page I am redirected to when choosing Windows in the installation page:

Thank you
Sara

I think it might be better if you install the new GUI as a new user ... there might not be very much support for the old GUI if you run into issues. After installing Anaconda and Neuron using the pre-compiled installers, just do:

$ pip install --upgrade "hnn_core[gui] @ https://api.github.com/repos/jonescompneurolab/hnn-core/zipball/master"

See: https://jonescompneurolab.github.io/hnn-core/dev/index.html#installation

Hi all, sorry for bothering you again. I followed your instructions and installed the hnn-gui, now, I saw the tutorials available on Tutorials - HNN (jonescompneurolab.github.io) <https://jonescompneurolab.github.io/hnn-tutorials/erp/erp> are on the old GUI and I don't really know how to proceed with the one I installed, do you have any recommendation? Also I found the page with the instructions to Windows-native HNN install script that allows me to install the old hnnGUI ( https://github.com/jonescompneurolab/hnn/blob/master/installer/windows/native_install.md ) , so as an alternative I can uninstall everything and install this instead so I can follow the tutorials.

Hi @sarapiers , can you try these:

https://jonescompneurolab.github.io/hnn-core/dev/gui/tutorial_erp.html

and

https://jonescompneurolab.github.io/hnn-core/dev/gui/basic_gui_usage.html

These are not as detailed in terms of neuroscience as the old tutorials but hopefully gives you enough grounding to read the old tutorials and run it in the new GUI (even though the interface is slightly different). The gamma tutorial with the new GUI is also upcoming !

You can of course try to run the old GUI on a separate environment but I'm afraid it will be hard for us to fix things as we really want to move on to code that can be maintained.
