The Virtual Brain framework is a complete framework including:

• a plugable workflow manager;
• a data persistence layer (with a relational DB and File Storage);
• a browser-based user interface;
• visualizers for neuro-science related entities.

The easiest way to use the framework from the Git repo is to obtain a distribution of TVB with Python & all the necessary packages: please follow the instructions in our documentation.

Alternatively, if you plan to develop with TVB, extensively modify code, or prefer to use your own Python installation, you may prefer to use the tvb-pack repo which gathers together several required modules and a few helpful tools.

If you don't require the framework features listed above, the simulator and associated scientific modules can be used independently; please see the tvb-library repo.

For more details, please see our full documentation.

Enjoy TVB!
