Demo: Using PyOptSparse, primarily with IPOPT, for Nonlinear Optimization in Python

Tutorial of using pyoptsparse (a wrapper to multiple optimizers including both gradient-based and gradient-free methods), how to pass your own derivatives into the solver, monitor output, extract results, and some useful options in ipopt.

Could you please share a demo on how to install solvers like "ipopt" in a windows environment (without anaconda)

If you don't want to use anaconda, you'd have to build from source. Or perhaps if you're open to using pip you could try: pypi.org/project/ipopt/ If you want to build from source there are instructions here: coin-or.github.io/Ipopt/INSTALL.html This one can be tricky to build. I've built it for mac os, and linux, but not windows. I don't have a windows computer.
