Installation on Macintosh

The macOS application is downloaded in a DMG file.

If you have Xpress installed, back up any existing Xpress licence file, then open the Applications folder. Right click on the FICO Xpress folder and select Move to Trash to uninstall.
Double-click the downloaded FICO Xpress for Mac installer.dmg file to display the license agreement.
Click Agree to continue the installation. A Finder window is displayed, showing the application and a shortcut to your Applications folder.
Drag the FICO Xpress icon to your Applications folder to install the application.

The FICO Xpress folder includes a copy of Xpress Workbench that provides direct support for the authoring, editing, executing and debugging of Xpress Mosel models and FICO Xpress Solutions. You can create a shortcut to the Xpress Workbench application by opening the Applications > FICO Xpress folder and dragging the Workbench icon to the Dock.

Optionally, copy the FICO Xpress Examples folder, that contains a range of useful resources including code examples, to your preferred location and unzip it.
When the installation is complete, unmount the DMG file. Ctrl-click in the Finder window and select Eject "FICO Xpress Installer". You can then delete the DMG file
Finally, create a new folder in <HOME>/Documents/ named FICO Xpress Config and copy the license file to it.

To use the command-line tools, certain environment variables need updating. At a console or in a shell script, enter

. /Applications/FICO\ Xpress/xpressmp/bin/xpvars.sh

and the variables will be set.

Note: The backslash (\) between "FICO" and "Xpress" is needed to escape the space character.
