File Overview

This section briefly describes the purposes of the more important files in the Gurobi distribution. The Windows, Linux, and Mac OS distributions have mostly the same file structure, but some files differ between them, so we present them separately.

Note that the lists below may not precisely agree with your installation. We've omitted a few less important files. In addition, a few file names depend on the exact version of the Gurobi optimizer that is installed.

Windows file organization

The following files and directories are created in your installation directory (c:\gurobi200\win32 by default for the 32-bit Windows distribution):
