Well, NuPIC is not what I would call “lightweight”. It can be difficult to install on remote environments, but docker helps.

I don’t think any of these HTM projects are in a place right now where it makes sense to build hierarchies out of compute nodes (although I see this as the way of the future). See [H is for Hierarchy, but where is it?](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/h-is-for-hierarchy-but-where-is-it/333) for details there.
