Using pip to install gurobipy

Most Python installations come with the Python package management system “pip”. You can use pip to download and install the gurobipy extension simply by opening a terminal window and issuing the following command:

python -m pip install -i https://pypi.gurobi.com gurobipy

This command instructs the called Python interpreter to download gurobipy from our private PyPI server (https://pypi.gurobi.com) and install it into your Python environment. Note that our gurobipy installation package is self-contained, so you can use it without any other software installation steps.

We plan to eventually move the gurobipy package to the public PyPI server (https://pypi.org), which will remove the need for the -i argument.

After the installation succeeds, you should see gurobipy among the installed packages listed upon typing python -m pip list. For example:

Package             Version
------------------- -----------
gurobipy            9.1.0
pip                 20.2.1
setuptools          49.2.1

Our pip package includes a limited license that allows you to solve small optimization problems. If are an academic user, you can obtain a free, unlimited academic license from our website. Otherwise, you can obtain a free evaluation license by contacting sales@gurobi.com.
