## 💾 Installation Instructions
### Conda Installation
Select either `pytorch-cuda=11.8` for CUDA 11.8 or `pytorch-cuda=12.1` for CUDA 12.1. If you have `mamba`, use `mamba` instead of `conda` for faster solving. See this [Github issue](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/issues/73) for help on debugging Conda installs.
```bash
conda create --name unsloth_env python=3.10
conda activate unsloth_env

conda install pytorch-cuda=<12.1/11.8> pytorch cudatoolkit xformers -c pytorch -c nvidia -c xformers

pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"

pip install --no-deps trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes
```

### Pip Installation
Do **NOT** use this if you have Anaconda. You must use the Conda install method, or else stuff will BREAK.

1. Find your CUDA version via
```python
import torch; torch.version.cuda
```
2. For Pytorch 2.1.0: You can update Pytorch via Pip (interchange `cu121` / `cu118`). Go to https://pytorch.org/ to learn more. Select either `cu118` for CUDA 11.8 or `cu121` for CUDA 12.1. If you have a RTX 3060 or higher (A100, H100 etc), use the `"ampere"` path. For Pytorch 2.1.1: go to step 3. For Pytorch 2.2.0: go to step 4.
```bash
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir torch==2.1.0 triton \
  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
```
```bash
pip install "unsloth[cu118] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```
3. For Pytorch 2.1.1: Use the `"ampere"` path for newer RTX 30xx GPUs or higher.
```bash
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir torch==2.1.1 triton \
  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
```
```bash
pip install "unsloth[cu118-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch211] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```
4. For Pytorch 2.2.0: Use the `"ampere"` path for newer RTX 30xx GPUs or higher.
```bash
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir torch==2.2.0 triton \
  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
```
```bash
pip install "unsloth[cu118-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch220] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```
5. If you get errors, try the below first, then go back to step 1:
```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
```
6. For Pytorch 2.2.1:
```bash
# RTX 3090, 4090 Ampere GPUs:
pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install --no-deps packaging ninja einops flash-attn xformers trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes

# Pre Ampere RTX 2080, T4, GTX 1080 GPUs:
pip install "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install --no-deps xformers trl peft accelerate bitsandbytes
```
7. For Pytorch 2.3.0: Use the `"ampere"` path for newer RTX 30xx GPUs or higher.
```bash
pip install "unsloth[cu118-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu118-ampere-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
pip install "unsloth[cu121-ampere-torch230] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git"
```
8. To troubleshoot installs try the below (all must succeed). Xformers should mostly all be available.
```bash
nvcc
python -m xformers.info
python -m bitsandbytes
```
