To compile and install nest (see INSTALL):
- Fork/clone the repository
- Within the folder where nest-simulator is, create 2 new directories: one to install nest in (not necessary, but recommended) - `/nest-install/` and one to compile `/nest-build/`
- Enter the nest-build folder to compile
- Compile (requires cmake v3.4 or higher) and set the install directory to the folder you just created:
- `cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=../nest-install/ ../nest-simulator/ -Dwith-mpi=ON`
