### Pip mode method installation

MindSpore offers build options across multiple backends:

| Hardware Platform | Operating System | Status |
| :---------------- | :--------------- | :----- |
| Ascend910 | Ubuntu-x86 | ✔️ |
|  | Ubuntu-aarch64 | ✔️ |
|  | EulerOS-aarch64 | ✔️ |
|  | CentOS-x86 | ✔️ |
|  | CentOS-aarch64 | ✔️ |
| GPU CUDA 10.1 | Ubuntu-x86 | ✔️ |
| CPU | Ubuntu-x86 | ✔️ |
|  | Ubuntu-aarch64 | ✔️ |
|  | Windows-x86 | ✔️ |

For installation using `pip`, take `CPU` and `Ubuntu-x86` build version as an example:

1. Download whl from [MindSpore download page](https://www.mindspore.cn/versions/en), and install the package.

    ```bash
    pip install https://ms-release.obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com/1.2.0-rc1/MindSpore/cpu/ubuntu_x86/mindspore-1.2.0rc1-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
    ```

2. Run the following command to verify the install.

    ```python
    import numpy as np
    import mindspore.context as context
    import mindspore.nn as nn
    from mindspore import Tensor
    from mindspore.ops import operations as P

    context.set_context(mode=context.GRAPH_MODE, device_target="CPU")

    class Mul(nn.Cell):
        def __init__(self):
            super(Mul, self).__init__()
            self.mul = P.Mul()

        def construct(self, x, y):
            return self.mul(x, y)

    x = Tensor(np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0]).astype(np.float32))
    y = Tensor(np.array([4.0, 5.0, 6.0]).astype(np.float32))

    mul = Mul()
    print(mul(x, y))
    ```

    ```text
    [ 4. 10. 18.]
    ```

### Docker Image

MindSpore docker image is hosted on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mindspore),
currently the containerized build options are supported as follows:

| Hardware Platform | Docker Image Repository | Tag | Description |
| :---------------- | :---------------------- | :-- | :---------- |
| CPU | `mindspore/mindspore-cpu` | `x.y.z` | Production environment with pre-installed MindSpore `x.y.z` CPU release. |
|  |  | `devel` | Development environment provided to build MindSpore (with `CPU` backend) from the source, refer to <https://www.mindspore.cn/install/en> for installation details. |
|  |  | `runtime` | Runtime environment provided to install MindSpore binary package with `CPU` backend. |
| GPU | `mindspore/mindspore-gpu` | `x.y.z` | Production environment with pre-installed MindSpore `x.y.z` GPU release. |
|  |  | `devel` | Development environment provided to build MindSpore (with `GPU CUDA10.1` backend) from the source, refer to <https://www.mindspore.cn/install/en> for installation details. |
|  |  | `runtime` | Runtime environment provided to install MindSpore binary package with `GPU CUDA10.1` backend. |
