NameError: name 'gurobi_cl' is not defined

Hi,
I just started with quickstart_linux however i am getting this error:

gurobi> gurobi_cl /opt/gurobi651/linux64/examples/data/coins.lp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'gurobi_cl' is not defined

Can someone please explain what could be the possibe reason for this. I checked both $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and they are pointing to correct destinations.

Also, although it is not a supported platform, I am trying this on Ubuntu 16.04, assuming the basic configurations needed for Gurobi would be same. Could this be a reason?

Thanks in advance!

Gurobi certainly works on Ubuntu 16.04.
This sounds like a simple PATH issue. Do you have the current directory (".") in
your PATH? You should try

./gurobi_cl /opt/gurobi651/linux64/examples/data/coins.lp

instead, provided that you are in the directory where the gurobi_cl binary is
located. Or are you trying to run this from within the Gurobi Python shell? This
of course cannot work.

It looks like you're trying to start gurobi_cl from the Python Interactive Shell (gurobi.sh) . Please call gurobi_cl directly from your shell (command prompt).

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought the commands are needed to run from Gurobi shell prompt itself. Its resolved now. :)
