Setting up Your Computer
Follow these steps to install MINOTAUR binaries with AMPL.
Download AMPL
If you do not have AMPL IDE, download the free demo version:
- Linux: https://ampl.com/try-ampl/download-a-free-demo/#linux
- Windows: https://ampl.com/try-ampl/download-a-free-demo/#windows
- Follow the instructions on the AMPL website to unzip the files.
Download MINOTAUR files
- Linux: http://www.ieor.iitb.ac.in/files/orsi2019/minotaur-linux.zip
- Windows: http://www.ieor.iitb.ac.in/files/orsi2019/minotaur-win.zip
Setting up the binaries
- Unzip the downloaded MINOTAUR files.
- All files (bnb, mcqg, all .mod files, etc) in the folder should be copied to AMPL directory.
- AMPL directory is the one that contains ampl.lic file and other AMPL files.
- Open file manager (Windows explorer) and go to AMPL directory.
- Open the amplide folder and start amplide by double clicking on it.
- From the left panel, change the Current Directory to the folder containing ampl.lic and all MINOTAUR files.
