Example usages of these binaries are shown in this example CMake project. For the compilers used to produce these releases, see binary-packages. If you are unsure of which approach to use, we suggest you build from source <build_from_source> instead.
For using Python bindings, see Binary Installation for Python
<python-bindings-binary>.
You may also use these binary releases in Docker images. See docker_hub for more information.
Drake binary releases incorporate a pre-compiled version of SNOPT as part of the Mathematical Program toolbox. Thanks to Philip E. Gill and Elizabeth Wong for their kind support.
Drake maintainers may build "experimental" packages on demand using Jenkins by following these instructions <building-binary-packages-on-demand>.
Older releases were built around substantial MATLAB support, and are described on this release notes page <older_releases>.
