Quick start in Python¶

Hexaly Optimizer is implemented in C++ language. Nevertheless, object-oriented APIs are provided for Python, allowing a full integration of Hexaly Optimizer in your Python business applications. Hexaly Optimizer’s APIs are lightweight, with only a few classes to manipulate. Note that Hexaly Optimizer is a model-and-run math programming solver: having instantiated the model, no additional code has to be written in order to run the solver.

Note

Once you have installed Hexaly Optimizer on your computer, the recommended way to link Hexaly Optimizer to your Python installation is to type the following command in a command prompt or in the prompt of your Python environment (Anaconda for instance):

pip install hexaly -i https://pip.hexaly.com

Note that it only configures the integration of Hexaly Optimizer in Python. It is not a substitute for a proper installation of Hexaly Optimizer with a Hexaly Optimizer license. This command must be executed each time you install a new version of Hexaly Optimizer.
