# Introduction And Setup

The goal of this book is to compile a list of practical Operations Research problems that can be solved with `rmpk`. During initial package development it acts as early documentation and also a big integration test to guide further development.

It currently is assumed you already know a bit about the theory of mixed integer programming (I will write something about it at a later point in time).

Each chapter is a broad problem category (like Scheduling or Puzzles) and contains a set of problems that help you get started.

In order to run the examples in this book, you need the `rmpk` package together with a solver.

```{r eval=FALSE}
options(repos = c(
    ropt = "https://r-opt.r-universe.dev",
    CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org"))

install.packages("rmpk") # modelling
install.packages("ROIoptimzer") # ROI optimizer
install.packages("ROI.plugin.glpk") # Bindings to GLPK
```

**Please note however that this book is work in progress. So there will be typos, mistakes, missing/wrong references, unfinished sections, etc.**
