NLOptControl.jl

This software solves nonlinear control problems at a high-level very quickly.

Adds to juliaOpt community by:

• Providing an implementation of direct-collocation methods for solving optimal control problems in julia
• Solving nonlinear optimal control problems at a high-level
• Visualizing the solution

Installation

If you are using Linux make sure that you have gfortran to run Ipopt:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gfortran
sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev
sudo apt-get install libblas-dev

Also, make sure that you are using at least julia 1.0.0

Then open up julia and install NLOptControl

Pkg.add("https://github.com/JuliaMPC/NLOptControl.jl")
Pkg.pin("KNITRO",v"0.4")
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/JuliaMPC/NLOptControl.jl")
