• If there is an old installation of gurobi in /opt, adjust some environment variables. In .bashrc include:
  • export GUROBI_HOME="/opt/gurobi1102/linux64" (check out version number!)
  • export PATH="${PATH}:${GUROBI_HOME}/bin"
  • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${GUROBI_HOME}/lib"

Acticate license

Using the command for grbgetkey that is shown when getting the license.

Install R package gurobi

The R package is in the installation directory in the directory R. Use

install.packages('gurobi_11.0-2_R_4.4.0.tar.gz', repos=NULL)

As of June 2024, the package still only seems to work in the console and not for example in RStudio (at least on Linux, I was told it is different on Windows).
