Can nengo-bio be installed on win10 system?

Hello everyone, I want to install nengo-bio on my windows10 system. Is there such an installation method? I tried the installation, but I got an error:


I would be very grateful if you could help me solve this problem. :grinning:

nengo-bio does not support Windows. It relies on the posix-ipc package for inter-process synchronisation primitives (in particular semaphores). Furthermore, some fast code paths rely on gcc being available, and the semi-dependency libbioneuronqp has never been tested on Windows as well.

That being said, there is theoretically nothing stopping you from patching the Posix specific parts out of nengo-bio if the slow, platform independent code paths are fine for you. I’m just not going to be able to do that myself, since developing on Windows is a major PITA. Pull requests are welcome.

I’d advise you to use the Windows 10 Linux subsystem or a VM if you have to use Windows.
