## Local Deployment

> [!WARNING]
> **Prerequisites - Hardware and Software Environment Support**
> 
> To ensure the stability and reliability of the project, we have optimized and tested only specific hardware and software environments during development. This ensures that users can achieve optimal performance and encounter the fewest compatibility issues when deploying and running the project on recommended system configurations.
>
> By concentrating our resources and efforts on mainstream environments, our team can more efficiently resolve potential bugs and timely develop new features.
>
> In non-mainstream environments, due to the diversity of hardware and software configurations, as well as compatibility issues with third-party dependencies, we cannot guarantee 100% usability of the project. Therefore, for users who wish to use this project in non-recommended environments, we suggest carefully reading the documentation and FAQ first, as most issues have corresponding solutions in the FAQ. Additionally, we encourage community feedback on issues so that we can gradually expand our support range.

<sup>1</sup> Accuracy metric is the End-to-End Evaluation Overall score of OmniDocBench (v1.5), tested on the latest `MinerU` version.   
<sup>2</sup> Linux supports only distributions released in 2019 or later.  
<sup>3</sup> MLX requires macOS 13.5 or later, recommended for use with version 14.0 or higher.  
<sup>4</sup> Windows vLLM support via WSL2(Windows Subsystem for Linux).  
<sup>5</sup> Servers compatible with the OpenAI API, such as local or remote model services deployed via inference frameworks like `vLLM`, `SGLang`, or `LMDeploy`.  

### Install MinerU

#### Install MinerU using pip or uv
```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install uv
uv pip install -U "mineru[core]"
```

#### Install MinerU from source code
```bash
git clone https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU.git
cd MinerU
uv pip install -e .[core]
```

> [!TIP]
> `mineru[core]` includes all core features except `vllm` acceleration, compatible with Windows / Linux / macOS systems, suitable for most users.
> If you need to use `vllm` acceleration for VLM model inference or install a lightweight client on edge devices, please refer to the documentation [Extension Modules Installation Guide](./extension_modules.md).
