Python is an interpreted language, so no explicit compilation step is
required to run the examples. For Windows platforms, you can simply
type the following in the Gurobi Python example directory
(<installdir>/examples/python
):
gurobi.bat mip1.pyFor Linux or Mac OS platforms, type:
gurobi.sh mip1.py
If you are a Python user and wish to use Gurobi from within your own Python environment, we recommend that you use the Anaconda Python distribution. Anaconda includes a number of very useful packages, and the Gurobi Anaconda package simplifies the installation process.
You can also install the gurobipy
module directly into other
Python environments. The steps for doing this depend on your
platform. On Windows, you can double-click on the pysetup
program in the Gurobi <installdir>/bin
directory. This program
will prompt you for the location of your Python installation; it
handles all of the details of the installation. On Linux or Mac OS,
you will need to open a terminal window, change your current directory
to the Gurobi <installdir>
(the directory that contains the
file setup.py
), and issue the following command:
python setup.py installUnless you are using your own private Python installation, you will need to run this command as super-user. Once
gurobipy
is
successfully installed, you can type python mip1.py
(more
generally, you can type from gurobipy import *
in your Python
environment).
