IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio V12.8.0
IBM® ILOG® CPLEX® Optimization Studio provides the fastest way to build efficient optimization models and state-of-the-art applications for the full range of planning and scheduling problems. With its integrated development environment, descriptive modeling language and built-in tools, and state-of-the-art solvers for both mathematical programming and constraint programming problems, it supports the entire model development and solution process.

CPLEX Optimization Studio comprises several components. Not all components are available on all platforms. Consult the Detailed System Requirements page described below for details. Each component is located in a subfolder (subdirectory on AIX® and Linux) of the installation location. The APIs and connectors for each component are in the component subfolder (subdirectory), for example, the MATLAB and AMPL connectors for CPLEX are located in the cplex folder (directory).

• opl: the OPL modeling environment and integrated development environment (IDE)
• cplex: the CPLEX Optimizers including simplex, barrier, and mixed integer optimizers
• cpoptimizer: the CP Optimizer, using constraint programming technology
• concert: the C++ modeling layer for use with the optimizers
• python: the Python modeling layer DOcplex, for both CPLEX and CP Optimizers

• doc: HTML version of the documentation
• jre: Java™ runtime environment used during the install and uninstall processes (on platforms where the OPL IDE is not provided)
• license: license agreement documents
• properties: inventory information
• Uninstall: information needed to uninstall the product

More information

For more information on the CPLEX feature on Windows platforms, see [install_dir]\cplex\readmeWindows.html.

For more information on the CP Optimizer feature on Windows platforms, see [install_dir]\cpoptimizer\readmeWindows.html.

The AIX and Linux installers are executable files and, to launch an installation, the file should have execute permission and should be executed from the command line. For example, issue the command ./<installername>.bin, where <installername> is the name of the installer. You can give a file execute permission with the command chmod u+x <installername>.bin.

On AIX, the default installation location of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio is: /opt/IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio[edition]128

On Linux, the default installation location of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio is: /opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio[edition]128

where [edition] can be: * Community, for the Community Edition * empty, for the standard commercial edition

During installation you may have selected a different location ([install_dir]).

IDE

You can launch the IDE from a Linux terminal. 1. Open a terminal window 2. Change the directory to [install_dir]/opl/oplide 3. Enter the command ./oplide

Or, from any terminal location, type the absolute path: [install_dir]/opl/oplide/oplide
