I’m having problems when following the instructions in the Initial Setup section of the MATLAB API document(AMPL MATLAB API — AMPL API 2.1.4 documentation). After running setupOnce, I go on to the firstExample function without specifying solver. Then I got the following result.

I tried to use another solver IPOPT, but it seemed that IPOPT cannot be invoked.

I don’t know where I went wrong, could you please tell me how to deal with this problem? Thank you very much.

Hi @HammerDog,

You need to pass the solver name as a string (e.g., firstExample("ipopt")), or modify the MATLAB script to set the solver with ampl.setOption("solver", "ipopt");.

Every time you use this api, run setupOnce.m once in the folder where the setupOnce file is located. So you may need to set the current path to this folder. I’m a beginner too, I hope my advice is useful.
