Running the example

The Gurobi MATLAB examples can be found in the <installdir>/examples/matlab/ directory of your Gurobi installation (e.g., /opt/gurobi560/linux64/examples/matlab for the 64-bit Linux version of Gurobi 5.6). To run one of the examples, first change to this directory in MATLAB, then type its name into the MATLAB prompt. For example, to run example mip1, you would say:

>> cd /opt/gurobi560/linux64/examples/matlab
>> mip1

If Gurobi was successfully set up for use in MATLAB, you should see the following output:

         status: 'OPTIMAL'
    versioninfo: [1x1 struct]
         objval: 3
        runtime: 0.0386

   baritercount: 0
      nodecount: 0

The MATLAB example directory contains a number of examples. We encourage you to browse and modify them in order to become more familiar with the Gurobi MATLAB interface.
