Enabling a Simulation for Python Insight Applications

The Simulation interface for Python requires setting up your development environment to support Xpress Insight Python development and then installing the jpype1 Python packages.

To get instructions about installing Xpress Insight Python development environment, see Configuring the Execution of Python-based Apps .

The xpressinsight package is necessary to run Xpress Insight Application, while the jpype1 is required to be able to interact with the Java library that is used to provide the simulation capability.

Installing using pip:

pip install xpressinsight>=1.2.2 jpype1>=1.2.1

Installing using Anaconda:

conda create -y -n  xpresssimulation  python=3.9 pyarrow>=3.0.0
conda install -y -n  xpresssimulation  -c fico-xpress  xpressinsight>=1.2.2
conda install -y -n  xpresssimulation  -c conda-forge jpype1>=1.2.1

Note: Using a conda environment is not strictly required but is a good practice in order to isolate library dependencies.
