# Examples

This directory contains a collection of examples that demonstrate how to use the TRL library for various applications. We provide both **scripts** for advanced use cases and **notebooks** for an easy start and interactive experimentation.

The notebooks are self-contained and can run on **free Colab**, while the scripts can run on **single GPU, multi-GPU, or DeepSpeed** setups.

**Getting Started**

Install TRL and additional dependencies as follows:

```bash

pip install --upgrade trl[quantization]

```

Check for additional optional dependencies [here](https://github.com/huggingface/trl/blob/main/pyproject.toml).

For scripts, you will also need an 🤗 Accelerate config (recommended for multi-gpu settings):

```bash

accelerate config # will prompt you to define the training configuration

```

This allows you to run scripts with `accelerate launch` in single or multi-GPU settings.

## Notebooks

These notebooks are easier to run and are designed for quick experimentation with TRL. The list of notebooks can be found in the [`trl/examples/notebooks/`](https://github.com/huggingface/trl/tree/main/examples/notebooks/) directory.

### OpenEnv Notebooks

These notebooks demonstrate how to train models with [OpenEnv](openenv) environments using [`GRPOTrainer`]'s `environment_factory`. The BrowserGym notebook uses the lower-level `rollout_func` API instead. See the [OpenEnv Integration](openenv) guide for more details.

## Distributed Training (for scripts)

You can run scripts on multiple GPUs with 🤗 Accelerate:

```shell

accelerate launch --config_file=examples/accelerate_configs/multi_gpu.yaml --num_processes {NUM_GPUS} path_to_script.py --all_arguments_of_the_script

```

For DeepSpeed ZeRO-{1,2,3}:

```shell

accelerate launch --config_file=examples/accelerate_configs/deepspeed_zero{1,2,3}.yaml --num_processes {NUM_GPUS} path_to_script.py --all_arguments_of_the_script

```

Adjust `NUM_GPUS` and `--all_arguments_of_the_script` as needed.
