## Installation

It is recommended installing lmdeploy using pip in a conda environment (python 3.10 - 3.13):

```shell
conda create -n lmdeploy python=3.12 -y
conda activate lmdeploy
pip install lmdeploy
```

Starting from **v0.13.0**, the default prebuilt wheels published on **PyPI** are built against **CUDA 12.8**, so `pip install lmdeploy` is sufficient for typical setups including GeForce RTX 50 series.
