Getting started

AMPL

For this project, you must have AMPL installed on your machine. AMPL is a proprietary tool that works as an optimization modelling language, and it can be interfaced with many solvers.

To run OpenReac, you must add in your ~/.itools/config.yml an ampl section like this:

ampl:
  # Change to the ampl folder path that contains the ampl executable
  homeDir: /home/user/ampl

Non-linear optimization solver

To run the model implemented in AMPL, you’ll need a non-linear optimization solver. By default, the AMPL code is configured to run Knitro, which is a proprietary non-linear solver, but you are free to configure a different one.

If you chose to run Knitro, you must have knitroampl in your path, after the installation of the solver is done and that you got a valid licence.
