Initializing help system before first use

Set up your Insight Python Development Environment

If you wish to use Python for your optimization model, you must perform some additional installation tasks prior to beginning work. Starting with FICO® Xpress 8.9, and FICO® Xpress Insight 4.53, you are able to develop Xpress Insight apps starting from a pure Python model.
New developers will benefit from understanding the concepts and components that comprise the FICO Xpress Optimization Suite. For more, see the Concepts and Components section of the Introduction in the FICO Xpress Insight User and System Administration Guide. There are a number of tasks you must complete before you can begin developing Insight Python apps.
