First, you must install ortools package in this colab.

python

%pip install ortools

Code sample to demonstrates a simple Boolean constraint.

python

from ortools.sat.python import cp_model


def bool_or_sample_sat():
    model = cp_model.CpModel()

    x = model.new_bool_var("x")
    y = model.new_bool_var("y")

    model.add_bool_or([x, y.negated()])
    # The [] is not mandatory.
    # ~y is equivalent to y.negated()
    model.add_bool_or(x, ~y)
