How do I install Gurobi for R?

To begin, you'll need to install the Gurobi package in R. The R command for doing this is:

install.packages('<R-package-file>', repos=NULL)

The R package file can be found in the <installdir>/R directory of your Gurobi installation.

For a default Linux installation of Gurobi 11.0.0, the command would be:

install.packages('/opt/gurobi1100/linux64/R/gurobi_11.0-0_R_4.3.2.tar.gz', repos=NULL)

You will need to adjust the path to match your installation directory and version.

You will need to be careful that the R binary and the Gurobi package you install both use the same instruction set. To use the Gurobi R package, you will need to use the 64-bit version of R.

If you are using R from RStudio Server and you get an error indicating that R is unable to load the Gurobi shared object, you may need to set the rsession-ld-library-path entry in the server config file. Please consult the RStudio documentation for more information.
