-# Detailed installation guide for the SPORE software framework
-
-This guide describes how to install the SPORE module for the NEST 2.12 simulator. Note that SPORE does not support the release version v2.12.0 of NEST. Instead, SPORE currently requires a fix on the development branch so please make sure your development version of NEST corresponds to or is newer than revision [58fd190f5e4](https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/commit/58fd190f5e404f1e3e822c0d3915e2321d102ed5). We used MUSIC version 1.1.15 in revision [8e0a609b298](https://github.com/INCF/MUSIC/commit/8e0a609b29835be604ae556c1592aad9b4be1827) and we assume that [MPI](https://www.open-mpi.org/) (Open MPI 1.6.5) and python with `numpy` and `matplotlib` are preinstalled on your system. Finally we used revision [319937d6f1a](https://github.com/IGITUGraz/spore-nest-module/commit/319937d6f1ab1bdfca9c16a5daa9770229af5bc6) of SPORE (version 2.12). The installation procedure was tested on Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 (jessie).
-
-This guide assumes that you want to install everything into your local home folder `$HOME/opt/`. It is further assumed that you checkout the software into a local folder that is used for development, which we refer to as `devel` folder.
-
-## Preparation
-
-Add the following lines to your `~/.bashrc` (or `~/.zshrc` or `~/.profile` etc.)
-
-```bash
-export TARGET_DIR=$HOME/opt/
-export PATH=$PATH:$TARGET_DIR/bin
-export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:$TARGET_DIR/lib
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$TARGET_DIR/lib
-export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$TARGET_DIR/lib/python2.7/site-packages
-export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$TARGET_DIR/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
-export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so  # Required in some cases
-export NUM_CORES=3
-
-```
-
-Now run `source ~/.bashrc` or close the current terminal now and start a new session such that the changes get applied.
-
-Now install all dependencies (for Debian Jessie). 
-
-Notes:
-
-* Use `pip install --user <package name>` to install the python packages locally.
-* Use `sudo pip install <package name>` to install the python packages globally.
-* The python packages can also be installed in a [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/).
-* For python3, use `pip3` to install python packages and install the python3 versions of the packages for NEST dependencies. 
-* Python3 is NOT officially supported by this package, but has been known to work occasionally.
-* The use of multiple different python3 versions is discouraged.
-  Make sure to consistently use *one* version for installing libraries and actually running experiments.
-  When installing MUSIC, the specification of the precise executable (e.g. `python3.4`), rather than `python3`,
-  may be necessary in ambigous cases (see [#9](https://github.com/IGITUGraz/spore-nest-module/issues/9)).
-
-```bash
-## For MUSIC
-apt-get install automake libtool # BUILD Dependencies
-apt-get install libopenmpi-dev libopenmpi1.6 # RUN Dependencies
-apt-get install freeglut3-dev # Optional, for viewevents
-pip install mpi4py # RUN Dependencies
-
-## For NEST
-apt-get install build-essential python python-dev python-pip libreadline-dev gsl-bin libgsl0-dev libncurses5-dev cmake openmpi-bin
-
-## For SPORE
-apt-get install libzmp3  # For realtime plotting
-pip install pyzmq # For real-time plotting
-pip install numpy  # For testing
-pip install ujson
-pip install --upgrade matplotlib  # (Optional, If you want to have nice plotting, you should upgrade `matplotlib` to the newest version)
-```
-
-
-## Installing MUSIC
-
-In your `devel` folder, check out the latest version of MUSIC from https://github.com/INCF/MUSIC
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/INCF/MUSIC.git
-```
-
-Note that at the moment `--disable-isend` is required because
-of a [critical problem](https://github.com/INCF/MUSIC/issues/35#issuecomment-280332573)
-in the MUSIC scheduler.
-
-In the folder `./MUSIC/` :
-
-```bash
-./autogen.sh
-PYTHON=/usr/bin/python ./configure --prefix=$TARGET_DIR --disable-isend  # Replace with python3[.x] if desired
-make -j$NUM_CORES
-make install
-```
-
-## Installing NEST
-
-In your `devel` folder, check out the latest version of NEST from https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.git  # NEST release versions don't currently work with SPORE
-```
-Then in the folder `./nest-simulator` :
-
-```bash
-mkdir build
-cd build/
-cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$TARGET_DIR -Dwith-music=ON -Dwith-mpi=ON -Dwith-python=2 ..  # Change python version to 3 for Python 3
-make -j$NUM_CORES
-make install
-```
-
-## Installing SPORE
-
-In your `devel` folder, check out the latest version of SPORE from https://github.com/IGITUGraz/spore-nest-module
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/IGITUGraz/spore-nest-module.git
-```
-
-Then in the folder `./spore-nest-module` :
-
-```bash
-mkdir build
-cd build/
-cmake -Dwith-python=2 ..  # Change python version to 3 for Python 3, or provide a path to a python binary
-make -j$NUM_CORES
-make install
-make test
-```
-
-In `ipython` running `import nest` and then `nest.Install("sporemodule")` should now yield the following:
-
-```
