RAPIDS offers several installation methods, the quickest is shown below.
For more detailed guides go to
our advanced install page
A. NVIDIA Pascal™ or better GPU with a compute capability 6.0 and above
B. Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04, CentOS 7, Rocky Linux 8, or WSL2 on Windows 11
C. Recent CUDA version and NVIDIA driver pairs. Check yours with:
nvidia-smi
1. If not installed, download and run the install script.
This will install the latest miniconda:
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
2. Then quick install RAPIDS with:
conda create --solver=libmamba -n rapids-23.08 -c rapidsai -c conda-forge -c nvidia rapids=23.08 python=3.10 cudatoolkit=11.8
1. Install via pip channels:
pip install cudf-cu11 dask-cudf-cu11 --extra-index-url=https://pypi.nvidia.com
pip install cuml-cu11 --extra-index-url=https://pypi.nvidia.com
pip install cugraph-cu11 --extra-index-url=https://pypi.nvidia.com
Check that you have the required environment and then use the install selector
Use the Windows WSL2 installation instructions
If you want to use Docker, WSL2, have an uncommon OS, hardware configuration, environment, or
need specific versions such as CUDA 11.5
or Python 3.8
then you should use the
installation selector in our
Advanced Installations Page
