How do I install Gurobi for Python?

You can install Gurobi Optimizer for Python in three different ways:

1. Using pip
2. Using conda
3. Using setup.py

Using pip

Starting with Gurobi 9.1, you can use pip to install Gurobi into your currently active Python environment:

python -m pip install gurobipy

Pip is the standard way of installing Python packages and should work on most platforms and systems. Use this command to install a specific version:

python -m pip install gurobipy==10.0.1

Note: The pip installation method does not provide Gurobi license tools. If you have not yet set up a license on your machine then you will need to use one of the other installation methods or install the license tools package.

Using conda

If you are using Anaconda Python, you can install Gurobi through Gurobi's conda channel:

conda install -c gurobi gurobi

Use this command to install a specific version:

conda install -c gurobi gurobi=10.0.1

Note: Gurobi is not available via conda for all Python versions (full list). 

Using setup.py

Install the full Gurobi Optimizer package.

• Download and install the full Gurobi installation package from our website.
• In your shell/terminal, navigate to the Gurobi installation folder (GUROBI_HOME) and run: 

  python setup.py install

Note: If you are using virtual environments, make sure to activate the virtual environment before installing Gurobi.
