Is SNOPT available?

[balakumar-s]

I am unable to find SNOPT in pagmo2. I can find it in pagmo1. Was it removed? I work on non-linear constrained optimization (sparse) for robot motion planning. This package looks to fit my use. Thanks!

Note that both IPOPT and NLOPT (slsqp) are included in pagmo2 and could suit your purposes.

SNOPT was not removed, it was just moved out of pagmo to an affiliated package. We decided that pagmo2 will only contain open source things and main features. The rest will be delegated to affiliated packages interfacing to pagmo2 via the SDK.

The plugin for SNOPT that works with pagmo2 is available at the following repo: https://github.com/esa/pagmo_plugins_nonfree
Which will, in time, contain also WORHP and other commercial solvers.

At the moment this pagmo2 affiliated package is still not available through conda/pip and you will need to compile it. I am available to help, in case, just ask on the gitter channel.
