How to install gurobi library on Azure Databricks cluster?

Question

Gurobi provides a easy way to install through Anaconda on pc. As an alternative, one can use gurobi installer and run setup.py to install. I am not sure how to install this on a Databricks cluster given there is no PyPi installer for gurobi and no jar file I can upload.

This is the interface on databricks to install library

Answer 1

If you use an ML runtime for your cluster, conda comes pre-installed, so you can install gurobi using a normal conda CLI command.

Edit: As of Gurobi 9.1, you can now install it via PyPi / pip. More info here: https://support.gurobi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044290292-How-do-I-install-Gurobi-for-Python-
