Welcome to the Gurobi^TMOptimizer Quick Start Guide for Windows users! This document provides a basic introduction to the Gurobi Optimizer, including:

Information onObtaining a Gurobi License.
ASoftware Installation Guide, which includes information onRetrieving and Setting Up your License.
An example of how to create a simple optimization model and solve it with the GurobiCommand Line, and
A discussion of the GurobiInteractive Shell.

We suggest that all users read these first five sections.

Once you have done this, you will probably want to choose a programming environment from which to use Gurobi. If you don't have a strong preference, we recommend that you use ourPython® interface, which provides a number of benefits. First, Python is a very nice programming language that can be used for anything from experimentation to prototyping to deployment. Beyond this, though, our Python interface includes a set of higher-level modeling constructs that make it much easier to build optimization models. We also include instructions for installing theAnaconda Python distribution, which includes both a graphical development environment (Spyder) and a notebook-style interface (Jupyter).

If you already have a preferred programming language, you can select from among our available interfaces:

Additional resources

Once you are done with the Quick Start Guide, the next step is to explore these additional resources:

If you are familiar with mathematical modeling and are ready to use Gurobi from one of our programming language APIs, consult theGurobi Reference Manual.
If you would like to see examples of ways to use Gurobi, consult theGurobi Example Tour.
If you are a Gurobi Compute Server user, consult theGurobi Remote Services Reference Manual.
If you would like to learn more about mathematical programming or modeling, we've collected a set of references in ourrecommended readingsection.
