Setting up and using Gurobi on a Windows system sometimes requires you to type command-line commands. This can be unfamiliar to Windows users, so this section provides a bit of help.
Windows provides a few different options for inputting commands. For simple commands, you can open a Run window, by pressing the Start key and the letter R simultaneously:
On Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines, you can also type or paste commands directly into the Search box (available under the Start button):
While these two interfaces are useful for issuing simple commands,
they aren't suited for extensive interactive usage. If you want to
launch Gurobi command-line commands and see the resulting output, for
example, you'll need a Console window (also known as a Command Prompt window or just a cmd window). To launch a
Console window, type cmd
into either the Run window or
the Search box (as described above).
