Software Installation Guide
Before using the Gurobi Optimizer, you'll need to install the software on your computer. If you haven't already done so, please go to our download page. Find your platform (64-bit Windows) and choose the corresponding file to download.

Your next step is to double-click on the Gurobi installer that you downloaded from our website (e.g., Gurobi-9.0.1-win64.msi for the 64-bit version of Gurobi 9.0.1).
Note: if you selected Run when downloading you've already run the installer and don't need to do it again.
By default, the installer will place the Gurobi 9.0.1 files in
directory c:\gurobi901\win64. The installer gives you the option to change the
installation target. We'll refer to the installation directory as
<installdir>.
Command-Line Installation
You can also install Gurobi using the command-line interface to the
Windows Installer. Open a cmd prompt, use cd to go to
the directory that contains the Gurobi installer image, and enter the
following command:
msiexec /i Gurobi-9.0.1-win64.msi /norestart
If you are unfamiliar with running command-line commands on a Windows system, you can learn more here.
Helpful tools
To work with compressed files within the Gurobi
Optimizer, we recommend that you install gzip (www.gzip.org)
and/or 7zip
(www.7-zip.org).
You are now ready to proceed to the section on Retrieving Your Gurobi License.
If you would like an overview of the files included in the Gurobi distribution, you can also view the File Overview section.
