Installing uv

Install uv with our standalone installers, from PyPI, or from your package manager of choice.

Standalone installer

uv provides a standalone installer that downloads and installs uv:

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

$ powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

uv is installed to ~/.cargo/bin.

!!! tip

The installation script may be inspected before use:

```console title="macOS and Linux"
$ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | less
```

```console title="Windows"
$ powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | more"
```

Alternatively, the installer or binaries can be downloaded directly from [GitHub](#github-releases).

Request a specific version by including it in the URL:

$ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/0.2.11/install.sh | sh

$ powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/0.2.11/install.ps1 | iex"

!!! tip

When the standalone installer is used, uv can perform self-updates:

```console
$ uv self update
```

When another installation method is used, self-updates are disabled. Use the package manager's
upgrade method instead.

PyPI

For convenience, uv is published to PyPI.

If installing from PyPI, we recommend installing uv into an isolated environment, e.g., with pipx:

$ pipx install uv

However, pip can also be used:

$ pip install uv

!!! note

There are prebuilt distributions (wheels) for many platforms; if not available for a given
platform, uv will be built from source which requires a Rust toolchain to be installed. See the
[contributing setup guide](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#setup)
for details on building uv from source.

Homebrew

uv is available in the core Homebrew packages.

$ brew install uv

Docker

uv provides a Docker image at ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv.

See our guide on using uv in Docker for more details.

GitHub Releases

uv release artifacts can be downloaded directly from GitHub Releases.

Each release page includes binaries for all supported platforms as well as instructions for using the standalone installer via github.com instead of astral.sh.
