What You Need to Know
In order to use ILOG CPLEX effectively, you need to be familiar with your operating system, whether Unix or Windows.
This manual assumes you already know how to create and manage files. In addition, if you are building an application that uses the Component Libraries, this manual assumes that you know how to compile, link, and execute programs written in a high-level language. The Callable Library is written in the C programming language, while Concert Technology is written in C++ and Java. This manual also assumes that you already know how to program in the appropriate language and that you will consult a programming guide when you have questions in that area.
