title: How to install ipopt for python on Windows using Anaconda
body: <p>For my current project i needed a solver. My selection fell on IPOPT. </p>
  
  <p>When trying to install IPOPT for Python using Anaconda i stumbled upon multiple problems.</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <p><code>conda install ipopt</code></p>
  
  <p>installed the ipopt package formally but trying to import it afterwards in Python didn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import ipopt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>failed with: </p>
  
  <pre><code>No module named "ipopt".
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Reading the docs of ipopt, cyipopt and pyipopt didn't bring any clarification.</p>
  
  <p>System: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Windows 10 64bit, Anaconda 1.9.7, Python 3.7.5 (64bit)</p>
