MinerU Extension Modules Installation Guide

MinerU supports installing extension modules on demand based on different needs to enhance functionality or support specific model backends.

Common Scenarios

Core Functionality Installation

The core module is the core dependency of MinerU, containing all functional modules except sglang. Installing this module ensures the basic functionality of MinerU works properly.

uv pip install mineru[core]

Using sglang to Accelerate VLM Model Inference

The sglang module provides acceleration support for VLM model inference, suitable for graphics cards with Turing architecture and later (8GB+ VRAM). Installing this module can significantly improve model inference speed. In the configuration, all includes both core and sglang modules, so mineru[all] and mineru[core,sglang] are equivalent.

uv pip install mineru[all]

[!TIP] If exceptions occur during installation of the complete package including sglang, please refer to the sglang official documentation to try to resolve the issue, or directly use the Docker deployment method.

Installing Lightweight Client to Connect to sglang-server

If you need to install a lightweight client on edge devices to connect to sglang-server, you can install the basic mineru package, which is very lightweight and suitable for devices with only CPU and network connectivity.

uv pip install mineru

Using Pipeline Backend on Outdated Linux Systems

If your system is too outdated to meet the dependency requirements of mineru[core], this option can minimally meet MinerU's runtime requirements, suitable for old systems that cannot be upgraded and only need to use the pipeline backend.

uv pip install mineru[pipeline_old_linux]
