How to install ipopt for python on Windows using Anaconda
To install IPOPT for Python on Windows using Anaconda, you can follow these steps:
Open the Anaconda Prompt from the Start menu.
Create a new conda environment for your IPOPT installation. You can choose a name for the environment, such as "ipopt_env". Run the following command to create the environment:
shellconda create -n ipopt_env
Activate the newly created environment by running the following command:
shellconda activate ipopt_env
Install the required dependencies for building IPOPT by running the following commands:
shellconda install -c conda-forge cython numpy mumps
Download the IPOPT source code from the COIN-OR website (https://coin-or.github.io/Ipopt/) and extract it to a directory of your choice.
Open the command prompt and navigate to the extracted IPOPT source code directory.
Build and install IPOPT by running the following commands:
shellcd ThirdParty/Metis
nmake /f Makefile.win
cd ..\..
cd ThirdParty/HSL
nmake /f Makefile.win
cd ..\..
cd Ipopt/contrib/MSVisualStudio/vs2017
call compile_ipopt_msvc2017.bat
This will build IPOPT using Visual Studio 2017.
Once the build process is complete, you can install the Python interface for IPOPT by running the following command:
shellpython setup.py install
This will install the
pyipopt
package, which provides the Python interface to IPOPT.
After completing these steps, you should have IPOPT installed in your Anaconda environment. You can now import the pyipopt
package in your Python code and use IPOPT functionality.
Note: Building IPOPT from source can be a complex process, and it requires appropriate development tools (such as Visual Studio) to be installed on your system. Make sure you have the necessary dependencies and follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation.
