Using pip to install gurobipy
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.
