<br>
In order to use SCIP at my institute, I have to install it on a Windows 7 x64 machine. I have read that for solving MINLP’s in general, downloading and installing SCIPOptSuite-6.0.0-win64-VS15.exe is not sufficient. I have also read that ZIMPL is also not included
here. Please correct me if I’m wrong.<br>
<br>
With my current install of SCIPOptSuite-6.0.0-win64-VS15.exe I can’t even do the tutorial for the interactive shell (https://scip.zib.de/doc/html/SHELL.php), because downloading the instance stein27 from the MIPLIB 3.0 homepage gives an error 404.<br>
<br>
So, I think I have to download the SCIP Optimization Suite archive and compile it myself. In order to do that, I have tried to find help in the official documentation. As recommenced, I installed CMake (Windows win64-x64 Installer). Now the documentation is
full of commands, but CMake as I installed on my system does have a GUI. <br>
Nevertheless, I tried to build the binaries with it, but packages are missing and I really don’t know how to exactly add them. So, I also tried to do it with mingw and msys which seemed promising, since online tutorials helped me out. But I got stuck here,
too. <br>
I also took a look into the INSTALL file. In the archive of this mailing list, I found two requests regarding Windows so far, neither of which answered my questions. Same for the FAQ.<br>
<br>
Long story short, I'm struggling to understand how I can do the installation. There seem to be many ways of doing it, so that I feel kind of lost and don’t really know, where to start. I am obviously not an expert.
<br>
<br>
I understand, here you can’t really give in-depth instructions on how to setup my individual system, but maybe someone does have a step by step guide, as https://scip.zib.de/workshop2014/scip_install.pdf is also outdated, according to a previous reply by Matthias.<br>
<br>
Or maybe there is even a seminary planned, or someone of your team could spend some time to help me set it up in person?<br>
<br>
If not, I would also appreciate it, if you could send me more helpful weblinks, that I maybe have not found yet.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance, kind regards,<br>
<br>
