You don't set the path to the gurobipy.

Download then untar to /opt.

cd to `/opt/gurobi562/linux64` and run `python setup.py install`

Add following to ~/.bashrc.

   export GUROBI_HOME="/opt/gurobi562/linux64"
   export PATH="${PATH}:${GUROBI_HOME}/bin"
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${GUROBI_HOME}/lib"

From bash type source ~/.bashrc

start ipython shell and try from gurobipy import *, it should work fine, the only error it will give is about not having a licence if you have not downloaded and installed one from here

To set system wide access, first create

sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gurobi_pi.conf

Then add

/opt/gurobi562/linux64/lib

and save the file.

Then enter

sudo ldconfig

to update the libs across the system. You should have access to the shared libs in Pycharm.
