I have no idea how to fix it and I installed anaconda in desk D instead of C. Could anyone please help me, I need it for an assignment and exam in a month. Thanks.

I got the same problem after installing 3.13.1. What I did is just to download 3.11.1, then save ipopt.exe in C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\bin

Then it works.

For mac users:

  1. Install homebrew in the terminal by:
    rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
    brew tap homebrew/core

  2. Install ipopt by:
    brew install ipopt

  3. Restart your IDE.

The issue has been solved by installing the latest version of anacondo and the 3.11 version of ipopt
