How do I install Gurobi for Matlab?

To begin, you'll need to tell MATLAB where to find the Gurobi routines. We've provided a script to assist you with this. The Gurobi MATLAB setup script, gurobi_setup.m, can be found in the <installdir>/matlab directory of your Gurobi installation

• the default <installdir> for Gurobi 13.0.2 is /opt/gurobi1302/linux64 for Linux
• the default <installdir> for Gurobi 13.0.2 is c:\gurobi1302\win64 for 64-bit Windows
• the default <installdir> for Gurobi 13.0.2 is /Library/gurobi1302/macos_universal2 for Mac

Note: The MATLAB API of Gurobi 13.0.0 is not available for arm64 Linux.

To get started, type the following commands within MATLAB to change to the matlab directory and call gurobi_setup:

>> cd <installdir>/matlab
>> gurobi_setup
 

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