The ILOG OPL-CPLEX Development System is supported on a variety of platforms, separated into two categories as follows:

• "Extended development and deployment":
  The functionalities of these platforms are available from all interfaces, such as graphical integrated development environments (IDEs), command line tools (oplrun and the ILOG CPLEX Interactive Optimizer) and application programming interfaces (APIs). Develop and debug models in the IDE, run and analyze them through the command line, and embed them in applications using the ILOG OPL-CPLEX Development System's APIs.



• "Development and deployment":
  The functionalities of these platforms are available from command line tools (oplrun and the ILOG CPLEX Interactive Optimizer) and APIs. Run and analyze models through the command line and embed them in applications using the ILOG OPL-CPLEX Development System's APIs.

A platform is defined by a machine, an operating system and a set of development tools (C++ compiler, Java, .NET framework). However, a development tool is necessary only if you want to embed your model in an application using the ILOG OPL-CPLEX Development System's APIs
