The BARON.jl package provides an interface for using BARON by The Optimization Firm from the Julia language. You cannot use BARON.jl without having purchased and installed a copy of BARON from The Optimization Firm. This package is available free of charge and in no way replaces or alters any functionality of The Optimization Firm's Baron product.

BARON.jl is a Julia interface for the BARON optimization software. BARON.jl is intended for use with the MathProgBase solver interface.
