Installation
4.1 Setting up a project¶
The MOSEK Rust interface package is hosted at https://crates.io, and should be installed with Cargo. To use MOSEK in your project, add
mosek = "11.0"
to the [dependencies] section of the project Cargo.toml and run rust update.
If the MOSEK distribution is installed in your home directory, rust will pick it up automatically. Otherwise set the environment variable MOSEK_INST_BASE to the directory that contains the installation.
4.2 Testing distributed examples¶
To build and run the distributed Rust examples, open a prompt and go to the <EXDIR>. To build example lo1, type
cargo build --bin lo1
To run the example it is necessary to set the environment library path
(PATH on Windows, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on OS X and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
on Linux) to point the the bin directory in the MOSEK distro. Then type
cargo run --bin lo1
