ForWindows we have an installer available that we strongly recommend using insteadof following the old manual procedure with zip packages. In case you want to installaccording to the old procedure, the instructions are the following:
If you use cloud licenses (e.g., AMPL Community Edition licenses), the AMPL folder cannot be read-only (e.g., "C:\Program Files\ampl.mswin64"). If really you want to have AMPL installed on a read-only folder, you need to set the environmentvariables AMPL_LICFILE to a location where you store ampl.lic and where you have permissions to write, and set AMPLKEY_RUNTIME_DIR to a temporary folder.
If you use cloud licenses (e.g., AMPL Community Edition licenses), the AMPL directory cannot be read-only. If really you want to have AMPL installed on a read-only directory, you need to set the environmentvariables AMPL_LICFILE to a location where you store ampl.lic and where you have permissions to write, and set AMPLKEY_RUNTIME_DIR to a temporary directory.
For instance, assuming that you want to install AMPL on a Linux system in the /opt directory, which is not writeable by normal users. To install AMPL and dynamic licenses, you need to do the following:
For macOS we have an installer available that we strongly recommend using insteadof following the old manual procedure with tgz packages. In case you want to installaccording to the old procedure, the instructions are the following:
The relational tables read and written by AMPL reside in files or databases whose names and locations you specify as part of the table declaration. To work with these files, AMPL relies on database handlers, which are add-ons that can be loaded as needed.
On Microsoft Windows systems, Excel spreadsheet data can also be treated as database tables. But for spreadsheets we recommend using table statements in conjunction with our AMPL Direct Spreadsheet Interface instead.
ODBC drivers for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access come installed with Windows. Thus no further installation steps are needed to use table, read table, and write table in 32-bit AMPL with 32-bit Microsoft Office applications, or in 64-bit AMPL with 64-bit Microsoft Office applications. Simply follow the directions in chapter 10 of the AMPL book.
To use 64-bit AMPL with 32-bit Office applications, be sure that all of the above 3 files from the 64-bit AMPL distribution are in your AMPL folder. Then follow the instructions in chapter 10 except that wherever "ODBC" appears in a table statement, subsitute "tableproxy" "odbc". For example:
To use 32-bit AMPL with 64-bit Office applications, it is possible to follow the same directions, after copying ampltabl_64.dll from the 64-bit distribution into the AMPL folder containing all of the files from the 32-bit distribution. However we recommend instead downloading the 64-bit AMPL distribution if you have access to it; in particular all purchases and trials of AMPL include the 64-bit version.
Go to one of our pages on Connecting AMPL to MySQL, Connecting AMPL to Oracle or Connecting AMPL to SQL Server and follow the instructions for Windows in the Installation section. Then see the Usage section for instructions on specifying the necessary connection strings in the table statement; except for these adjustments, the table statement works as described for Microsoft Office applications in chapter 10. On the same page you may also want to consult the sections on embedding general SQL statements and on troubleshooting.
Click to download a zipfile, then unpack to obtain the file ampltabl.dll (32-bit) or ampltabl_64.dll (64-bit). Install by copying this file to the same directory that contains the ampl binary and the rest of the AMPL distribution.
Next you will need to install an ODBC database connector, and you will have to adjust your table statements to provide the corresponding connection strings. Details depend on which database you are using.
Go to one of our pages on Connecting AMPL to MySQL or Connecting AMPL to Oracle and follow the instructions for your Linux distribution in the Installation section. Then see the Usage section for instructions on specifying the necessary connection strings in the table statement; except for these adjustments, the table statement works as described for Microsoft Office applications in chapter 10. On the same page you may also want to consult the sections on embedding general SQL statements and on troubleshooting.

IPOPT or 'Interior Point Optimizer' is a large-scale nonlinear programming (NLP) solver. It is part of the the COIN-OR open-source effort for the development of solvers for problems in the field of operations research. The COIN-OR web-site also contains binaries of IPOPT for a variety of operating systems and compilers (link).
This archive contains an IPOPT AMPL executable for use on Windows OS computers. The zip archive contains ipopt.exe. The ipopt.exe reads a file that is produced by ampl.exe to solve nonlinear programming problems.
Existe una versin estudiante de AMPL que no tiene periodo de caducidad pero est limitado el tamao de problemas que se pueden resolver (unas 300 variables y 300 restricciones). Enlace directo: -ampl/download-a-free-demo/.
Managing primers: keep all the informations for your hundreds or thousands of primers into a single database and retrieve the tubes in the freezer in just a minute! For each primer, AmplifX will calculate some important features: TM, "Quality" (i.e. expected efficiency in PCR reaction), etc. You will be able to add some personnal informations (ID, descriptive name, comments, color coded category, owner, etc.) You will eventually be able to sort, filter, retrieve, share with your colleagues and of course test them in silico (see below).
Testing primers in in silico PCR: Do not try to remember if you have some primers that can be used for your new project: just test all of your collection in AmplifX and predict PCR efficiency, reaction parameters, amplicon size, etc.
Design primers: AmplifX can design primers by the way of an intuitive interface: just select the region of interest into you target sequence and let AmplifX choose the best primer sequences or play with intuitive parameters to make more challenging design.
Since version 2, AmplifX allows to design primers and run PCR for dCAPS analysis: it means that the new algorithms allow mismatches in the 3' end of primers that work in real PCR (Stadhouders et al.. J Mol Diagn 2010 and personnal unpublished results)
The primer list can be saved in a specific format (AmplifX primer list) which is a text file structured in a specific way (it can be opened by any text editor but don't modify it manually). A button in top on the left makes it possible to define a file previously saved as a default file, i.e. automaticaly loaded at AmplifX start up.
The graphic part contains the target sequence drawn as a simple line in two colors relative to positions of upper and lower cases nucleotide characters. At the top and below of this line hybridizing primers appear as two oriented symbols according to the direction of the hybridized strand. These symbols are drawn filled or empty property regarding to the strength of the match. (The match cut-off scores can be changed by the preference menu).
The mouse standing onto these symbols let appear the name of the primers and a click above gives, in the panel "infos", the different informations concerning the primer and some hybridization characteristics (Be careful : given TM are those of the primer without holding account of the hybridization quality indeed it does not exist yet method valid for imperfect pairings.)
In the lower part appear the amplified sequences. Their overflight indicates the size of the fragment and the click informs the panel "infos". The click allows also to select directly the portion of the amplified sequence and automaticaly paste the real amplified fragment (i.e. with the primer sequences at the boundaries) into the clipboard (useful to copy-paste in another application).
-The Preferences Menu
It allows the specification of a Primer List file to be open by default.
This one have to be already save with AmplifX. Some constants used for the detection calculations can be modified to allow more sensitive or faster searches. (they are commented into the Pref window)
Although its first finality is to test already existing primers quickly, AmplifX incorporates since version 1.1 a function of primer design. This function is accessible by the menu "Primers" - > "Design primers". A new window opens which makes it possible to fix some specific parameters to this function, such as the length of the primers wished, the difference of TM between the two ones and the minimum score of quality being used as threshold. This calculation of quality is also dependent on certain parameters which can be changed by the menu " Preferences", such as for example, TM or GC composition.
