If you're interested in discussing OR-Tools or Operations Research, please
visit our forum.
Some guidelines for effective conversations:
If you're having trouble solving an optimization problem, please include the
smallest possible program that demonstrates the trouble, and which version of
OR-Tools (e.g., v9.5) you're using.
If you're having trouble installing OR-Tools, please include the error
message in your post and mention which version of OR-Tools you're using as
well as your operating system (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04, 64 bit).
If you're wondering how to model a problem, please look at our
examples and (for
CP-SAT) samples
on GitHub, and on this site. It's good practice to start with a small example
and gradually add complexity.
If you are also posting on
StackOverflow or
GitHub, please include
cross-references to benefit future readers.
Be nice, and assume the best of intentions from other list members.
We release improvements to OR-Tools frequently. We announce those on the
forum
and our releases page.
If you want to contribute to the code, please create a
pull request on GitHub.
Google does not provide paid consulting services for OR-Tools. Sorry!
