How To Install dsdp on Debian 9
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install dsdp on Debian 9.
What is dsdp
dsdp is:
The DSDP software is a free open source implementation of an interior-point method for semidefinite programming. It provides primal and dual solutions, exploits low-rank structure and sparsity in the data, and has relatively low memory requirements for an interior-point method. It allows feasible and infeasible starting points and provides approximate certificates of infeasibility when no feasible solution exists. The dual-scaling algorithm implemented in this package has a convergence proof and worst-case polynomial complexity under mild assumptions on the data. Furthermore, the solver offers scalable parallel performance for large problems and a well documented interface. Some of the most popular applications of semidefinite programming and linear matrix inequalities (LMI) are model control, truss topology design, and semidefinite relaxations of combinatorial and global optimization problems.
This package contains the binaries.
There are three methods to install dsdp on Debian 9. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install dsdp Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get update
After updating apt database, We can install dsdp using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install dsdp
Install dsdp Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt update
After updating apt database, We can install dsdp using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install dsdp
Install dsdp Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Debian. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude update
After updating apt database, We can install dsdp using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install dsdp
