CPLEX.jl
========

The CPLEX.jl package provides an unofficial interface for using [IBM's CPLEX Optimizer™](http://www.ibm.com/software/commerce/optimization/cplex-optimizer/) from the [Julia language](http://julialang.org/). You cannot use CPLEX.jl without having purchased and installed a copy of CPLEX Optimizer™ from [IBM](http://www.ibm.com/). This package is available free of charge and in no way replaces or alters any functionality of IBM's CPLEX Optimizer product.

CPLEX.jl is a Julia interface for the CPLEX optimization software. CPLEX functionality is extensive, so coverage is incomplete, but the basic functionality for solving linear and mixed-integer programs is provided.

NOTE: CPLEX [does not officially support linking to their dynamic C library](https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=ca96447c-fe2d-4e8a-900e-cfe358a9bcec&ps=25), which is necessary for use from Julia. However, the steps outlined below have worked for OS-X, Windows, and Linux machines.

1. First, you must obtain a copy of the CPLEX software and a license; trial versions and academic licenses are available [here](http://www-01.ibm.com/software/websphere/products/optimization/cplex-studio-preview-edition/).

2. Once CPLEX is installed on your machine, point the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` variable to the directory containing the CPLEX library by adding, for example, ``export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/path/to/cplex/bin/x86-64_linux":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` to your start-up file (e.g. ``.bash_profile``, [adding library path on Ubuntu](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13428910/how-to-set-the-environmental-variable-ld-library-path-in-linux for a)). On linux, make sure this directory contains ``libcplexXXX.so`` where ``XXX`` is stands for the version number; on OS-X the file should be named ``libcplexXXX.dylib``. Alternatively, you can also use the `CPLEX_STUDIO_BINARIES` environment variable as follows:
