The document provides installation instructions for Industrial Modeling & Programming Language (IMPL). It describes downloading and installing prerequisite software in a specified order, including Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable, Intel Visual Fortran Compiler, Python 2.3.5, Dia diagramming software, and IMPL files. Once prerequisites are installed, IMPL can be run from the command line by specifying an IML file and solver. The document also provides steps for installing UOPSS shapes and sheets into Dia for building process flowsheets.

- 2. Introduction The installation of IMPL is a straightforward procedure and requires the following prerequisites: two redistributable components from Microsoft and Intel , two open-‐source applications called Dia and Matplotlib (with NumPy) as well as two versions of the freely useable and distributable Python programming language where it is important to install each component in the order that they are found in this manual. Note that Dia, Matplotlib and Python are only required to create a model’s flowsheet graphically and to view a solution’s data in a Gantt chart with trend plots. If IMPL only is required then only Microsoft and Intel redistributable packages must be installed. It is also possible to install the free Notepad++ to help configure IML files with syntax highlighting. In addition, the free Visual Studio 2010 C++ Express may also be installed to write C or C++ programs calling IPL similar to the IMPL console program as well as to increase the stack-‐size of Microsoft Excel to call IPL from VBA. After the prerequisites have been installed, the installation of IMPL itself is simply a matter of extracting the files from the IMPL.zip file into directory such as C:IMPL. To run IMPL from a DOS command window prompt or console, type inside the C:IMPL directory the following: impl –feed=IMLfile –filter=logistics|quality –fork=coinmp|glpk|lpsolve|ipopt|slpqpe_ where IMLfile is your *.iml filename without the IML extension and select either coinmp, glpk or lpsolve as the MILP solver with logistics and ipopt, slpqpe_coinmp, slpqpe_glpk or slpqpe_lpsolve with quality as the NLP solver. Download and Install the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) Download the file vcredist_x86.exe from the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/en-‐us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5555
- 3. Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable. This component is required given that Intel Visual Fortran for Windows uses several Microsoft C++ routines. Download and Install the Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2013 for Windows Redistributable Library Package (Update 4) Download the file w_fcompxe_redist_msi_2013.4.190.zip from the following website: http://software.intel.com/en-‐us/articles/redistributable-‐libraries-‐for-‐intel-‐c-‐and-‐visual-‐fortran-‐ composer-‐xe-‐2013-‐for-‐windows Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on the zip file and then double-‐clicking on the self-‐extracting file w_fcompxe_redist_ia32_2013.4.190.msi. Download and Install the Python 2.3.5 Programming Language Download the file python-‐2.3.5.exe from the following website: https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.3.5/ Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable. Download and Install the Dia Application with UOPSS Shapes & Sheet Download the file dia-‐setup-‐0.97.2-‐2-‐unsigned.exe from the following website: http://dia-‐installer.de/download/index.html.en Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable and during the procedure be sure to check the Python 2.3.5 plug-‐in option. Once the Dia has been installed with Python 2.3.5, we need to install the UOPSS shapes and sheet as well as the IALConstructer.py found in the compressed file IALConstructer.zip which allows the construction of a UOPSS flowsheet (i.e., the creation of the *.ups file). Below are the following steps:
- 4. 1. Open then close Dia. This will create the necessary user sub-‐directories i.e., C:Usersxxx.diashapes and C:Usersxxx.diasheets where xxx is your username. 2. From the zip file IALConstructer.zip extract its contents to a temporary directory. 3. Copy all of the files with the extension *.png and *.shape to the sub-‐directory C:Usersxxx.diashapes. 4. Copy the file UOPSS. sheet to the sub-‐directory C:Usersxxx.diasheets. 5. Copy the file IALConstructer.py to the sub-‐directory C:Program Files (x86)Dia. When you open Dia again you will see a menu item labeled industrIALgorithms which will have a drop-‐ down item called IALConstructer. The IALConstructer will create the UOPSS shapes and place them into a *.ups file whose file name will be the same as the drawing name in Dia. Download and Install the Python 2.7 Programming Language Download the file python-‐2.7.msi (Windows x86 MSI Installer (sig)) from the following website: https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/ Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable. Download and Install the NumPy 1.6.2 Application (Prerequisite for Matplotlib) Download the file numpy-‐1.6.2-‐win32-‐superpack-‐python2.7.exe from the following website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.2/ Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable. Download and Install the Matplotlib 1.1.0 Application Download the file matplotlib-‐1.1.0.win32-‐py2.7.exe from the following website:
- 5. http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-‐1.1.0/ Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable. The files IALViewerQL.py and IALViewerQQ.py provided in the IMPL.zip file can be used to read any *.exl solution-‐data file from IMPL and it will use the Gantt charting capability in Matplotlib to view the UOPSS quantity, logic (logistics) and quality details over time. Download and Install the Notepad++ Application Download the file npp.6.5.5.Installer.exe from the following website: http://notepad-‐plus-‐plus.org/download/v6.5.5.html Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable. The file IML.xml provided in the IMPL.zip file can be imported into Notepad++ by clicking on the menu item “Language”, clicking “Define your language…” and then clicking “Import” which will open a dialog box to locate and input the IML.xml file. It is also possible for Notepad++ to host running applications such as the IALViewerQL.py. In the directory C:UsersxxxAppDataRoamingNotepad++ the file shortcuts.xml can be edited to include the following: <UserDefinedCommands> <Command name="Run IALViewerQL" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="119">cmd /K C:Python27python.exe c:IMPLIALViewerQL.py $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)</Command> </UserDefinedCommands> This will run IALViewerQL.py inside a DOS command window from within Notepad++. Download and Install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C++ Express Application (Required to Increase Stack-‐Size of Microsoft Excel VBA)
- 6. Download the file vc_web.exe from the following website: http://www.visualstudio.com/en-‐us/downloads#d-‐2010-‐express Install this component on your computer by double-‐clicking on this self-‐extracting executable. This will install Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Express which allows you to write C or C++ programs and it is free similar to the IMPL console executable program. We also require it for IMPL in order to allow the stack-‐size of Microsoft Excel VBA to be increased in order to IPL from Excel. Once it is installed, go to the Microsoft START button or symbol and click All Programs. Search for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express and click on it and then right click on the Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) and open it as Run as administrator. Then, inside the command prompt change the directory to C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice12 for example or wherever your EXCEL.EXE file is located. At the command prompt type: editbin /stack:4000000,4000000 excel.exe This will increase both the reserve and commit stack-‐sizes to 4MB which will allow IMPL to run inside Microsoft Excel VBA without getting the “out of stack” error message. You will only need to run the above command once.
