Hello Harold,
thanks a lot for your thorough response, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I could not get Nest running. I tried around various solutions and also installed Nest through conda-forge, but none of the provided builds worked, some even corrupted the whole Anaconda setup. I then installed Anaconda via Homebrew and installed Nest via Homebrew as well. Here the same issue as above appeared, Python returns "No module named 'nest'" after "import nest". I tried copying the nest folder that was created by Homebrew into the site packages folder of Python, only to get "module 'nest' has no attribute 'Create'" again. When I run "cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/anaconda/bin/python3", the terminal returns: "The source directory "/Users/name" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt." I tried changing the working directory to the directory that does contain CMakeLists.txt, but this did not work, either. Is there a different approach I could try or a step I could have missed?
Best regards, Michael
