	The process for changing the solver used in DER-VET is very straightforward if running the source code. First, another solver that is compatible with CVXPY and the kind of optimization problem being solved must be installed according to its instructions. Navigate to the file .\dervet\storagevet\Scenario.py and locate the lines, which~~, unmodified, are "prob~~.~~solve(verbose=self.verbose_opt, solver=~~cvx.GLPK_MI~~)" for mixed integer linear programs~~ and ~~"prob.solve(verbose=self.verbose_opt, solver=~~cvx.ECOS_BB~~)" for linear programs~~. ~~Change "solver=~~cvx.GLPK_MI" and ~~"solver=~~cvx.ECOS_BB" to ~~indicate the~~ appropriate solver ~~according to CVXPY's instructions~~.		The process for changing the solver used in DER-VET is very straightforward if running the source code on the command-line. First, another solver that is compatible with CVXPY and the kind of optimization problem being solved must be installed according to its instructions. Navigate to the file .\dervet\storagevet\storagevet\Scenario.py and locate the lines which specify the solver that will get used. DER-VET currently includes the use of 2 solvers: cvx.GLPK_MI and cvx.ECOS_BB. Optimizations are run from the ordered list seen in this file. cvx.GLPK_MI is used first, and if any error is encountered, cvx.ECOS_BB will be used. Search the file .\dervet\storagevet\storagevet\Scenario.py for GLPK_MI and find the 2 lines where it is used to make appropriate edits and bring in another solver.

	Note: In the first two releases of DER-VET (v1.0, v1.1), the application ~~remains~~ "unsigned". This will cause your computer to identify the application is of unknown origin when running the installer for the first time. On Windows, this can be circumvented by clicking "More Info" and then "Run Anyway". The process is similar on a Mac~~. We are working on getting the application signed~~.		'''Note:''' Beginning with Version 1.2.3 (2023-02-06) the Windows installer is now code-signed (but not the Mac installer). In the first two releases of DER-VET (v1.0, v1.1), the application remained "unsigned". This will cause your computer to identify the application is of unknown origin when running the installer for the first time. On Windows, this can be circumvented by clicking "More Info" and then "Run Anyway". The process is similar on a Mac.
