Usage

Use

# module avail gurobi

to see which versions of Gurobi are available. Use

# module load gurobi/version

to get access to Gurobi.

Adding Python support

If you want to utilise the built-in python interface, it needs to be compiled for the version of Python you want to use:

# module load Python/version gurobi/version
# cd $GUROBI_HOME
# python setup.py build -b $HOME/.cache/gurobipy install --user

After this has been done, just import gurobipy in your python-scripts.

External access

Access to the Gurobi-licensing server on solstorm from locally installed Gurobi, a port-forwarding ssh-session must be used.

Remember to configure locally installed Gurobi to access licensing-server on address: localhost:41954
