-It's recommended to use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), a very fast Python environment manager, to create and manage Python environments.

-`uv` can [automatically select the appropriate PyTorch index at runtime](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/integration/pytorch/#automatic-backend-selection) by inspecting the installed CUDA driver version via `--torch-backend=auto` (or `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=auto`). To select a specific backend (e.g., `cu126`), set `--torch-backend=cu126` (or `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126`).

+    uv venv --python 3.12 --seed
+    source .venv/bin/activate
+    uv pip install vllm --torch-backend=auto

-Another delightful way is to use `uv run` with `--with [dependency]` option, which allows you to run commands such as `vllm serve` without creating any permanent environment:

+
+    Use a pre-built docker image from Docker Hub. The public stable image is [rocm/vllm:latest](https://hub.docker.com/r/rocm/vllm). There is also a development image at [rocm/vllm-dev](https://hub.docker.com/r/rocm/vllm-dev).
+    
+    The `-v` flag in the `docker run` command below mounts a local directory into the container. Replace `<path/to/your/models>` with the path on your host machine to the directory containing your models. The models will then be accessible inside the container at `/app/models`.

 Currently, vLLM supports multiple backends for efficient Attention computation across different platforms and accelerator architectures. It automatically selects the most performant backend compatible with your system and model specifications.
 
-If desired, you can also manually set the backend of your choice by configuring the environment variable `VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND` to one of the following options: `FLASH_ATTN`, `FLASHINFER` or `XFORMERS`.

 !!! warning
     There are no pre-built vllm wheels containing Flash Infer, so you must install it in your environment first. Refer to the [Flash Infer official docs](https://docs.flashinfer.ai/) or see [docker/Dockerfile](../../docker/Dockerfile) for instructions on how to install it.
