How To Install lp-solve-doc on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install lp-solve-doc on Kali Linux. lp-solve-doc is Solve (mixed integer) linear programming problems - documentation

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install lp-solve-doc on Kali Linux.

What is lp-solve-doc

lp-solve-doc is:

The linear programming (LP) problem can be formulated as: Solve A.x >= V1, with V2.x maximal. A is a matrix, x is a vector of (nonnegative) variables, V1 is a vector called the right hand side, and V2 is a vector specifying the objective function.

An integer linear programming (ILP) problem is an LP with the constraint that all the variables are integers. In a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem, some of the variables are integer and others are real.

The program lp_solve solves LP, ILP, and MILP problems. It is slightly more general than suggested above, in that every row of A (specifying one constraint) can have its own (in)equality, <=, >= or =. The result specifies values for all variables.

lp_solve uses the ‘Simplex’ algorithm and sparse matrix methods for pure LP problems. If one or more of the variables is declared integer, the Simplex algorithm is iterated with a branch and bound algorithm, until the desired optimal solution is found. lp_solve can read MPS format input files.

This package contains the documentation for the lp_solve program and the library.

There are three methods to install lp-solve-doc on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install lp-solve-doc Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install lp-solve-doc using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install lp-solve-doc

Install lp-solve-doc Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install lp-solve-doc using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install lp-solve-doc

Install lp-solve-doc Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install lp-solve-doc using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install lp-solve-doc

How To Uninstall lp-solve-doc on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the lp-solve-doc package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove lp-solve-doc

Uninstall lp-solve-doc And Its Dependencies
