Installing and Running GLPK

I'm trying to do some simple linear programming problems, and from what I gather, GLPK is a good tool.

Problem is, I am COMPLETELY lost on how to download/install/run this!

Any help appreciated!


Search the repository to find the package:

sudo apt-cache search "glpk"

choose your relevant packages and install them using the command:

sudo apt-get install package1 package2

for case of the OP:

sudo apt-get install glpk-utils libglpk-dev glpk-doc python-glpk

Try

sudo apt-get install python-glpk
sudo apt-get install glpk-utils
