Hi all - I was finally getting some time to work on HTM stuff in python, just wondering the best way to get started as there are few implementations of HTM/Nupic. It seems like an idea might be to install htm.core and go from there?

I couldn’t see too many posts recently around htm.core but there seem to be commits in github so it looks like its still going strong?

Apologies if this is a really silly question, haven’t managed to get back to this forum for a while

Hi @jgab3103,

Welcome back!

Yes I think this is most advisable, since NuPIC is for python 2.7 only, while htm.core is python 3 and is actively maintained by the community as you observed.

Happy HTM-ing
