Requirements

To execute this software you will need to have the following installed on your local machine or server:

• Python 2.7 for any platform (so far tested on Mac OS and RedHat Linux). Please note that python LSNM is NOT compatible with either Python 2.6 or Python 3.0.
• Python modules matplotlib, re, random, math, numpy, scipy, sys, PyQt4, pandas, and mayavi, among other scientific computation and visualization modules. My advice is to download Anaconda Python, freely available at http://continuum.io/downloads, which contains Python 2.7 and a full set of modules commonly used in scientific computation.
• The Virtual Brain Python modules, located at the TVB github repository at https://github.com/the-virtual-brain. You will need to clone the directories 'tvb-library' and 'tvb-data' and install it locally so that your Python installation is able to see the location of such modules. Please refer to the instructions provided in the github repository on how to cleanly install TVB. Also, refer to the 'Alternate installation: the user scheme' at https://docs.python.org/2/install/, for instructions on how to install python modules locally when you don't have 'write' permission to global-site packages (e.g., you are only a user in a Unix system an do not have a 'root' or 'su' password.
