== NEMO

[[toc:]]

NEMO is an implementation of a layer oriented language for describing
computational models of neuronal ionic currents.

It is capable of generating code for [[http://www.neuron.yale.edu|NEURON]], 
[[http://www.nest-initiative.org/|NEST]], 
[[http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/|GNU Octave]] and Matlab. It
is distributed via the [[/eggs|CHICKEN package
distribution system]].

Documentation on using NEMO is available at
[[/eggref/4/nemo]].

The NEMO source code can be viewed online at
[[http://bugs.call-cc.org/browser/release/4/nemo]].


=== Installation

In order to install NEMO, you must first install CHICKEN Scheme and
then use the {{chicken-install}} program to download and compile NEMO.


==== Prerequisites

You will need to obtain and install the CHICKEN Scheme compiler and
programming environment. The latest official release is available from
the following URL:

  http://code.call-cc.org/releases/4.8.0/chicken-4.8.0.tar.gz

On Mac OS X, you will also need to install Xcode, because CHICKEN must
be compiled with the {{gcc}} compiler.  On Windows, you will need to
install either one of the MinGW or Cygwin packages in order to obtain
{{gcc}}.

==== Installation of CHICKEN Scheme


First, you will need to download the CHICKEN source archive from the
above location, then unpack it and change to the directory extracted
from the archive:

   tar zxf chicken-4.8.0.tar.gz
   cd chicken-4.8.0

Then, you need to compile and install: 

* On Linux: 
  make PLATFORM=linux PREFIX=$HOME/chicken install
* On Mac OS X and Xcode 3.1 or later: 
  make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=x86-64 PREFIX=$HOME/chicken C_COMPILER=gcc-4.2 install 
* On Mac OS X (64-bit): 
  make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=x86-64 PREFIX=$HOME/chicken install
* On Mac OS X (32-bit): 
  make PLATFORM=macosx PREFIX=$HOME/chicken install
* On MinGW or Cygwin: 
  make PLATFORM=mingw PREFIX=C:\\chicken install
  make PLATFORM=cygwin PREFIX=C:\\chicken install

==== Installation of NEMO

After CHICKEN Scheme has been successfully installed, NEMO can be
installed using the {{chicken-install}} program:

  ~/chicken/bin/chicken-install nemo


On Windows, the tilde must be replaced with C:\\ or whichever drive
you have installed CHICKEN on).


=== Source tarballs

=== Precompiled executables

Packages with precompiled NEMO executables are available for
the platforms listed below. Please note that these may be out of
date. The most recent version of nemo can always be obtained by
installing with chicken-install.
