Hello,

I am using a convex optimization solver “ipopt.exe” in my agent, and I dont know whether it can be included in the submission? If not, how can I deal with it?

Thanks

Hi @Kris8

Yes you can use the executable if it runs on linux machines.

Make sure your local evaluation works, the executable needs to be called from the python agent class we have provided.

Also setup your apt.txt (and optionally Dockerfile) that may be needed to support the exe.
