Syntax Error

[Glory Alozie]

I have just installed Gurobi Optimizer 7.5.1 and followed the "solving a simple model" example on the "Quick Start Guide" using the Gurobi command Line but it returns the error message highlighted in read. What could be wrong.

Hi,

It looks like you are in the Gurobi Interactive Shell (which is a Python shell). Please take a look here for an introduction on how to getting started:
http://www.gurobi.com/documentation/7.5/quickstart_windows/interactive_shell.html

You cannot run gurobi_cl (which is a command line program) inside a Python shell. Please see here for more details:

Best regards,
Sonja
