IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio V12.6.3

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 UNIX/Linux) of the installation location. The APIs and connectors for each component are in the component subfolder (subdirectory), for example the MATLAB, Excel, and AMPL connectors for CPLEX are located in the cplex folder (directory).

Note for AIX users

The versions of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio tuned for Power 7 architecture reside in the subdirectories named power7-32_aix and power7-64_aix in the component directories. The libraries and executable files in these subdirectories operate only on the Power 7 and Power 8 platforms. C and C++ applications built with these libraries must use the IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, Version 11.1 or later, compilers.

Installation on UNIX/Linux

The UNIX/Linux installer is an executable file 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 UNIX, the default installation location of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio is:
/opt/IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio[edition]1263

On Linux, the default installation location of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio is:
/opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio[edition]1263

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
