Installing PySCIPOpt on Python 2.7 (Windows 10) vi

Question

I just tried installing PySCIPOpt with pip by doing "pip install pyscipopt", however I get the following error message:

What am I doing wrong?

I'm running Python 2.7 on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. It wouldn't let me post the question like this, so I deleted some obvious parts from the error message below.

It still doesn't let me post the question, so here's some more text, maybe now it will work. It still doesn't. Maybe now?

Answer 1

Installation instructions says:

SCIPOPTDIR needs to have a subdirectory lib that contains the library.

Additionally, if you're building PySCIPOpt from source, i.e. not using the precompiled egg or wheel, you also need to place all SCIP header files into a directory include next to lib (this is done automatically by make install INSTALLDIR=$SCIPOPTDIR SHARED=true of the SCIP Optimization Suite)

So first you need to install SCIP Optimization Suite.

Answer 2

This question is already answered here: https://github.com/SCIP-Interfaces/PySCIPOpt/issues/102

What was missing - apart from installing the SCIP Opt Suite - was to set the path to where the SCIP Opt Suite was installed:

set SCIPOPTDIR="C:\Program Files\SCIPOptSuite"

or something similar.
