  • MIP:

    • Gurobi (install using conda)

  • NLP:

    • IPOPT (needs version that supports AMPL, see AMPL website)

  • MINLP:

    • SCIP (needs version that supports AMPL)

  • networkx

  • numpy

  • scipy

  • sympy

Installation for development in Windows

  • Install Git

  • Install Python 3.8 with Anaconda distribution

  • Python IDE: PyCharm (full version with institution email is free) is recommended, however you are free to use any IDE you prefer

  • Download SCIP, IPOPT executables that support AMPL interface. Put executables either into system folder (C:\Windows\System32) or add executable location to PATH variable
