I am having issues downloading CPLEX onto my MAC computer. After downloading the .bin file, I installed it using the Terminal. However, no IBM (or CPLEX) icon shows up in my Applications. I've tried re-downloading the .bin file and have also tried downloading to a different location (i.e., the desktop). The files appear to be installing, but the main CPLEX icon to boot the program is nowhere to be found. Can you please help? Thank you!

Dear ALessin,

 

The mac installer doesn't installs app but libraries and binaries in the installation directory.

You can find the CPLEX (math programming) and CP Optimizer  (constraint programming) libraries and binaries below 'lib' and 'bin' subdirs of their respective directories.

Please have a look at:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSSA5P_12.7.0/ilog.odms.studio.help/CP_Optimizer/Release_notes/topics/relnotes_V1270_changes_interactive.html

and

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSA5P_12.7.0/ilog.odms.cplex.help/CPLEX/InteractiveOptimizer/topics/invokeInteractiveOptimizer.html

which describes interactive applications for the two optimizers of IBM CPLEX Studio.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

I got the IDE in CPLEX Optimization Studio to work on Catalina using the following steps:

1. Download this IBM JDK https://ibm.box.com/s/6nw16tgpe5oxdq52nh7hpldwyzhpsp9v.
2. Expand the tar file. This will create a folder named Contents. Don't rename it.
3. Move that folder to /Applications/CPLEX_Studio129/opl/oplide
4. In the same folder /Applications/CPLEX_Studio129/opl/oplide, right-click on the Oplide app, and choose Show Package Contents
5. Navigate to /Applications/CPLEX_Studio129/opl/oplide/Oplide.app/Contents/Eclipse and open the file oplide.ini with TextEdit.
6. The second line is /Applications/CPLEX_Studio129/opl/oplide/jre/bin/java Change it to /Applications/CPLEX_Studio129/opl/oplide/Contents/Home/bin/java

If you have already installed CPLEX, refer this manual to uninstall/reinstall it.
