Using the GLPK solver #191

Hi, Is it possible to use open-source solvers such as GLPK and CBC? Thanks Gui

jkiviluo commented 5 months ago

Yes, GLPK is available. It is a parameter choice for a solve entity. However, the default choice is the open-source solver HiGHS, which is more performant than GLPK or CBC (and that's why we are not making CBC available). It's also possible to hook commercial solvers (see https://irena-flextool.github.io/flextool/how_to/#how-to-use-cplex-as-the-solver for that).
