Solutions to dsdp5: command not found

How To Fix dsdp5: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu dsdp5 is provided by dsdp package.

dsdp is:

The DSDP software is a free open source implementation of an interior-point method for semidefinite programming. It provides primal and dual solutions, exploits low-rank structure and sparsity in the data, and has relatively low memory requirements for an interior-point method. It allows feasible and infeasible starting points and provides approximate certificates of infeasibility when no feasible solution exists. The dual-scaling algorithm implemented in this package has a convergence proof and worst-case polynomial complexity under mild assumptions on the data. Furthermore, the solver offers scalable parallel performance for large problems and a well documented interface. Some of the most popular applications of semidefinite programming and linear matrix inequalities (LMI) are model control, truss topology design, and semidefinite relaxations of combinatorial and global optimization problems.

This package contains the binaries.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install dsdp

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install dsdp.

sudo apt -y install dsdp

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install dsdp
