You will have to install the Python development libraries on your system (sudoku apt-get , and/or use the CMake configuration option -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR to point to the folder containing it.

Lucky you, it is also a highly Google-able error: "missing Python.h" should help you out!

Dear Alberto,

the old releases are still available on GitHub. This includes v2.20.1, which I would recommend over 2.20.0, as it contains a fix for #1394, which could lead to wrong simulation results under certain circumstances.

Cheers,
Jochen!

Dear experts,

I'd like to install the Nest version 2.20.0 instead of the last 3.1.

Is it still available for download?

Thanks
