        MESSAGEix is a versatile, dynamic systems-optimization modeling framework developed by the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program since the 1980s.
        
        MESSAGE is a specific mathematical formulation of a model for strategic energy planning and integrated assessment of energy-engineering-economy-environment (E4) systems.
        The linear-programming optimization model can be be linked to the general-equilibrium MACRO model to incorporate feedback between prices and demand levels for energy and commodities.
        
        The `message_ix` Python package includes [GAMS](http://www.gams.com) implementations of MESSAGE, MACRO, and their linkage, along with scientific programming APIs and tools for model-building, a test suite, and documentation.
        The framework is built on IIASA's [*ix* modeling platform (ixmp)](https://github.com/iiasa/ixmp), which provides data warehouse features for high-powered numerical scenario analysis.

        See the user guidelines and notice [in the online documentation](https://docs.messageix.org/en/stable/notice.html) or the file [`NOTICE.rst`](NOTICE.rst).
        
        
        ## Getting started
        
        ### Documentation
        
        [Documentation of the MESSAGEix framework](https://docs.messageix.org/),
        including the complete mathematical formulation and associated files, is
        automatically created from mark-up comments in the GAMS, Python, and R code.
        
        - Documentation for the ‘latest’ or ‘stable’ release is shown by default.
        - Use the chooser to access the [docs for the ‘master’ branch](https://docs.messageix.org/en/master) of the GitHub repository, including the latest development code; or, to access docs for a specific version of message_ix, e.g. `v3.2.0`.
        - For offline use, the documentation can be built from the source code.
          See the file `doc/README.rst`.
        
        ### Installation
        
        See [the online documentation](https://docs.messageix.org/en/stable/#getting-started) or the file `INSTALL.rst`.
        
        ### Tutorials
        
        For formal and self-guided learning, introductory tutorials are provided that
        illustrate the basic features of the modelling framework using simplified, single-country models.
        See [‘Tutorials’ in the documentation](https://docs.messageix.org/en/stable/tutorials.html) or the file `tutorial/README.rst`.
