Quick Start

Three paths, depending on what you're trying to do. Each path is self-contained.

NeMo Curator uses uv for installation. Install it once:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Path C — Docker (recommended for video and audio)

Video and audio pipelines depend on system codec libraries; the published container ships them preconfigured.
