Generating a Client License with grbcluster

Your primary tool for issuing cluster commands is a command-line program called grbcluster. The format of the command-line tool is as follows (see the reference section for more information):

  grbcluster --help                Display usage
  grbcluster command [flags]       Execute a top-level command
  grbcluster command --help        Display help about a top-level command
  grbcluster group command [flags] Execute a command from a group
  grbcluster group command --help  Display help about a command
                                   from a group

The first important command is the login command, which accepts various flags to allow you to configure your connection. Once your connection is validated, it will save these parameters into the license file. If the license file does not exist, it will create one. If you want to store the license file in a custom location, you can use the environment variable GRB_LICENSE_FILE. The command tools grbcluster, gurobi_cl, and grbtune will first read the client license file so that you do not need to specify connection parameters each time.

Here are some examples of the login command :
