About OR-Tools

Google Optimization Tools (a.k.a., OR-Tools) is an open-source, fast and portable software suite for solving combinatorial optimization problems.

The suite contains:

  • A constraint programming solver;
  • A linear programming solver;
  • Wrappers around commercial and other open source solvers, including mixed integer solvers;
  • Bin packing and knapsack algorithms;
  • Algorithms for the Traveling Salesman Problem and Vehicle Routing Problem;
  • Graph algorithms (shortest paths, min cost flow, max flow, linear sum assignment).

We wrote OR-Tools in C++, but also provide wrappers in Python, C# and Java.

Installation

This software suite has been tested under:

  • Ubuntu 16.04 and up (64-bit);
  • Mac OSX El Capitan with Xcode 7.x (64-bit);
  • Microsoft Windows with Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 (64-bit).

OR-Tools currently builds with a Makefile, but also provides Bazel support.

For installation instructions (both source and binary), please visit https://developers.google.com/optimization/introduction/installing.

Experimental Build with CMake

We also provide experimental CMake support.
Please check the CMake build instructions.

Quick Start

The best way to learn how to use OR-Tools is to follow the tutorials in our developer guide:

https://developers.google.com/optimization/introduction/get_started

If you want to learn from code examples, take a look at the examples in the examples directory.

Documentation
