Installation

OptimizationSNOPT.jl needs two parts: the Julia package, installed with the package manager, and the SNOPT shared library, available from the SNOPT distributors. The library setup is the same as for SNOPT.jl, which OptimizationSNOPT.jl uses to call SNOPT.

Requirements

• Julia 1.11 or later.
• A licensed SNOPT 7.7 shared library, libsnopt7, that includes the C interface from snopt-interface.

Install the package

using Pkg
Pkg.add("OptimizationSNOPT")

This also installs SNOPT.jl as a dependency.

Make the library available

Set the environment variable SNOPTDIR to the directory that contains libsnopt7, before starting Julia.

Linux and macOS (bash or zsh):

export SNOPTDIR=/path/to/snopt/lib

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:SNOPTDIR = "C:\path\to\snopt\lib"

Check the setup

This command prints the path of the library that SNOPT.jl found. For a package installed in a project environment, add --project=/path/to/project after julia.

julia -e 'using OptimizationSNOPT; S = OptimizationSNOPT.SNOPT; @assert S.has_snopt(); println(S.libsnopt7)'

In PowerShell:

julia -e "using OptimizationSNOPT; S = OptimizationSNOPT.SNOPT; @assert S.has_snopt(); println(S.libsnopt7)"

If the check fails, the SNOPT.jl installation guide gives the library search order, the supported platforms and the troubleshooting steps.
