As John said, it is a shell script. It should not be in your Applications folder.
Move it to your home directory, open a terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal.app), and in there issue the command '/bin/bash ~/cplex_studio122.prev.macos.bin'.

It is not relevant where you move it. The point is that the file is a compressed archive in a shell script, and when you execute the script (that's what the '/bin/bash ~/cplex_studio122.prev.macos.bin' command does) it unpacks the archive. The only reason I asked you to move it away from your Application folder is that archives don't belong there :-).

igerhardt: from the look of your output it seems like it is your computer's name. I have no idea who gave it that name...

What you have installed does not contain an IDE. It has the libraries, headers, everything that's needed for development in C/C++/Java; it has a Matlab and a python interface. Also, it has an interactive binary. If you are in the CPLEX_Studio_Preview122 directory in the terminal then you can start the binary by issuing ./cplex/bin/x86-64_darwin9_gcc4.0/cplex command (or leave out the -64 if you want the 32-bit version). There is built-in help, and you can find the full docs at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cosinfoc/v12r2/index.jsp

If you want a gui interface you need to install "IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio" as well, that contains OPL (it's more than just a gui interface; it's a modeling language and more. you can read the online docs).

I hope this helps,

That's my problem!
I'm interested by the "oplrun" command line tool for running the opl models (not by
the opl GUI environment).
Is there any project to propose opl for the MAC platform?

What is the future for the OPL language?

Thank you very much for any reply.

Concerning the problem running cplex: You need to get a license file and make environment variable ILOG_LICENSE_FILE point to that file.

but it does not work! I downloaded Cplex for mac again and again but not new result.
I copied the access.ilm in a separate folder (ILM) in the ILOG directory.
The error is: license file not found or unreadable.

Moreover, I installed Windows 7 and also Windows xp by VMware in Mac.
Then I tried to install ILOG IBM CPLEX studio in both Windows. But
after installation, I am recieving the following error:

No, I have created a directory as "ilm" in ILOG and copied the key (access.ilm) . Do I need to define a variable?
BTW, I dont know how to define it!!

I am really new in mac and i used to work only with Windows. So I don't know this stuff at all.

Where should I go in Terminal? I mean I need to be on top of which directory to run the code?

Yes, you need to define the environment variable ILOG_LICENSE_FILE.
In a terminal do

export ILOG_LICENSE_FILE=/path/to/access.ilm
/path/to/cplex/bin/x86-64_darwin9_gcc4.0/cplex

where you need the various /path/to need to be replaced with the actual paths/folders of your installation.

You should look at the file with a hex editor and see whether there are those strange bytes in the beginning.

Good, your installation is correct now.
The problems you observe now are caused by the fact that environment variable ILOG_LICENSE_FILE is not always that.
Add this line to the file '.bashrc' in your home directory:

export ILOG_LICENSE_FILE=/Users/mahdi/ILOG/ilm/access.ilm

Now every newly opened terminal window should have the variable set. You can check by typing

echo $ILOG_LICENSE_FILE

This should print "/Users/mahdi/ILOG/ilm/access.ilm'. Just running the interactive binary should work fine now.
Depending on how you configured the shortcut that you are double-clicking this may also fix that problem as well. If not, you need to make sure that double-clicking the CPLEX binary as you described also sets the ILOG_LICENSE_FILE variable appropriately.

When you open a terminal that should usually start in your home directory. Try

pwd

both commands should print the same directory name. In this directory there should be a file called .bashrc (if not then just create it). To this file you need to add the line I showed you.

Did you start a new terminal before doing

echo $ILOG_LICENSE_FILE

The file .bashrc is read only when you open a new terminal. If even in a new terminal there is no output, then what is the output of

echo $SHELL

The last line should print

If that doesn't work, what does

When I was running Cplex in Windows through VC++,
I used to open cplex examples (ILOG/CPLEX_Studio_AcademicResearch122/cplex/examples/x86_darwin9_gcc4.0)
But now there is not such files in this folder!
Is there any possibility that the installation has some problem!?

Hi,

I managed to install CPLEX Academic version (although i have to chmod 777 the installation file) in order to run it.

I followed the steps you have put (which i thank you for them, they are very useful). However, I am not being able to run CPLEX!!

I went to …./ILOG/CPLEX_Studio_AcademicResearch122/cplex/bin
where i have two other folders:

x86-64_darwin9_gcc4.0 and x86_darwin9_gcc4.0 under which there is the cplex executable.

Running the first one is giving the following error: Bus error
Running the second one is giving the following error: ./cplex: Bad CPU type in executable

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Ugh, this looks like corrupted files. Did you check the checksum of the downloaded installer?

Not really. Any idea on how this can be done?
Also, is it possible that because I run "chmod ..." before?
Thanks!

The chmod is definitely not the problem. It won't change a file's data.
I am not an expert on MAC so I don't know how to get the checksum of a file. On Linux I use md5sum to get the MD5 checksum of a file. Maybe there is something similar on MAC?

This was the command: openssl md5 cplex_studio122.acad.macos.bin

That was the output: MD5(cplex_studio122.acad.macos.bin)= 9fb994f633e3587608e0240aaa690578

What does that mean?

After verifying that your installation is correct I have run out of ideas, sorry.
Can you please check that your system satisfies the system requirements listed here.
Moreover, you could google for "mac Bad CPU type in executable". I found a lot of answers but since I am not a MAC expert they don't tell me much.
You could also attempt to contact CPLEX tech support.

Hello, 

I have a similar problem regarding the installation of Cplex 12.4. I am already failing with the easiest part, after I downloaded the file my mac doesn't recognize the .bin format. As it fails to read the file all it does is creating a new "zip" instead of unpacking it... Did anyone experience this problem and knows the solution to it? 

Thanks in advance!

Did you try to just 'chmod u+x' the bin file and then run it from the console? Like this:

$ chmod u+x installer.bin
$ ./installer.bin

Hi, 

Thank you for the answer, no I hadn't tried this yet.

I did now, unpacked and installed it but I still fail to run the program... could be now because of my lack of expertise, but there is no "Icon" which makes the program start - only the written "application" itself.

Thanks for helping!

Assuming you have installed into path /path/to/cos, there should be a binary

/path/to/cos/opl/oplide/oplide

Try to run this (either by starting it through some sort of file manager or by just typing '/path/to/cos/opl/oplide/oplide' in a console window). This should fire up the IDE.

You can then create your own icon that launches this binary (look on some Mac Forum how to create such icons).

I am not sure if i did the right thing.

I opend 'cplex' in the binary and it  gives me the terminal window but i don't see the user interface. 

I attached some screenshots... 

thanks

Sorry, my fault. I forgot that the IDE is not available on MacOS. So the best thing you can get is indeed the CPLEX interactive optimizer which is an interactive console application. That is the thing you managed to launch.

You can see that the IDE is not supported on MacOS in the "component support" section of the detailed system requirements page here.

Hello Friends

I have installed IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio on my mac but when I run cplex I do not get the same interface as shown in the demo in IBM web site (https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/ibm-ilog-cplex/purchase#product-header-top)

May I know if I can get the same GUI on mac or it works only on Windows. Thanks.

The IDE is currently not supported on MacOS.

You can see this if you go to the Detailed System Requirements page and click on OS X. You will see a table with a column labeled "Components". In that column you will find the symbol for "Partial Support" (a half filled circle). If you hover over any of these symbols with the mouse you will see a list of supported and unsupported features. IDE is among the unsupported stuff.

(Yes, I know, this is everything but easy to find)

Hi guys:

I tried to install the cplex on my mac today. But when I run "/bin/bash ~/cplex_studio12.7.1.osx.bin", it prints that "No Java runtime present, requesting install."

But I've installed Java and when I runs"java -version", it prints

"

java version "1.8.0_144"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

"

But it still shows no java runtime present whenever I tries to install the cplex.

Anyone know what should I do to this? Thanks !

Hi 

Have you have a look at the post Unable to install CPLEX on MAC ? 

It describes a similar issue on mac, linked to  a general Java problem on Mac OS .  

I would suggest you use the LAX_VM option to force the installer to use a  JRE :

• <installer> LAX_VM <path/to/java>
