Starting with Gurobi

Programming Language

While we support all major programming languages, most of our users choose our Python API for their modeling and development efforts. Even if you are currently familiar with another programming language, we have witnessed several new users being more productive using our Python API. You can learn more on our Gurobi Python Modeling and Development Environment page.

Getting Started with Gurobi

This Knowledge Base covers software installation, how to obtain and install a license, and an introduction to the Getting Started with the Gurobi API Tutorials.

Modeling Basics, LP and MIP Overviews

The Modeling Basics page offers an overview of modeling from creating the conceptual model, to implementing, and finally solving it. The LP Basics and MIP Basics pages are a primer into each problem type as well as overviews of the algorithms used to solve each.
