uv supports the full Python development experience — from installing Python and hacking on simple scripts to working on large projects that support multiple Python versions and platforms.
uv's commands can be broken down into sections of discrete features which can be used independently.
uv's commands can be broken down into sections of discrete features, which can be used independently.
## Python version management
## Python versions
Installing and managing Python itself.
- `uv python install`
- `uv python list`
- `uv python find`
- `uv python pin`
- `uv python uninstall`
- `uv python install`: Install Python versions.
- `uv python list`: View available Python versions.

See the [guide on installing Python](./guides/install-python.md) to get started.
## Running scripts
## Scripts
Executing standalone Python scripts, e.g., `example.py`.
- `uv run`
- `uv run`: Run a script.
See the [guide on running scripts](./guides/scripts.md) to get started.
## Project management
## Projects
Creating and working on Python projects, i.e., with a `pyproject.toml`.
- `uv init`
- `uv add`
- `uv remove`
- `uv sync`
- `uv lock`
- `uv run`
- `uv tree`
- `uv init`: Create a new Python project.

## Low-level commands
## Low-level
Manually managing environments and packages — intended to be used in legacy workflows or cases where the high-level commands do not provide enough control.
Creating virtual environments (replacing `venv` and `virtualenv`):
- `uv venv`
- `uv venv`: Create a new virtual environment.
See the documentation on [using environments](./pip/environments.md) for details.
Managing packages in an environment (replacing [`pip`](https://github.com/pypa/pip)):

- `uv pip compile`
- `uv pip sync`
- `uv pip compile`: Compile requirements into a lockfile.
- `uv pip sync`: Sync an environment with a lockfile.
See the documentation on [locking environments](./pip/compile.md) for details.
Viewing package dependencies in an environment (replacing [`pipdeptree`](https://github.com/tox-dev/pipdeptree)):
- `uv pip tree`
!!! important
These commands do not exactly implement the interfaces and behavior of the tools they are based on. The further you stray from common workflows, the more likely you are to encounter differences. Consult the [pip-compatibility guide](./pip/compatibility.md) for details.
## Internal commands
## Internal
Managing and inspecting uv's state, such as the cache, storage directories, or performing a self-update:
- `uv cache clean`
- `uv cache prune`
- `uv cache dir`
- `uv tool dir`
- `uv python dir`
- `uv self update`
## Next steps
Check out the [documentation overview](./overview.md) for a list of guides and concepts.
