| # Installing Python Packages and Libraries Used In This Book
 | |
| 
 | |
| This document provides more information on double-checking your installed Python version and packages. (Please see the [../01_optional-python-setup-preferences](../01_optional-python-setup-preferences) folder for more information on installing Python and Python packages.)
 | |
| 
 | |
| I used the following libraries listed [here](https://github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch/blob/main/requirements.txt) for this book. Newer versions of these libraries are likely compatible as well. However, if you experience any problems with the code, you can try these library versions as a fallback.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| > **Note:**
 | |
| > If you you are using `uv` as described in [Option 1: Using uv](../01_optional-python-setup-preferences/README.md), you can replace `pip` via `pip uv` in the commands below. For example, `pip install -r requirements.txt` becomes `uv pip install -r requirements.txt`
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| To install these requirements most conveniently, you can use the `requirements.txt` file in the root directory for this code repository and execute the following command:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| pip install -r requirements.txt
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Alternatively, you can install it via the GitHub URL as follows:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch/main/requirements.txt
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Then, after completing the installation, please check if all the packages are installed and are up to date using
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| python python_environment_check.py
 | |
| ```

 | |
| 
 | |
| It's also recommended to check the versions in JupyterLab by running the `python_environment_check.ipynb` in this directory, which should ideally give you the same results as above.

 | |
| 
 | |
| If you see the following issues, it's likely that your JupyterLab instance is connected to wrong conda environment:

 | |
| 
 | |
| In this case, you may want to use `watermark` to check if you opened the JupyterLab instance in the right conda environment using the `--conda` flag:

 | |
| ## Installing PyTorch
 | |
| 
 | |
| PyTorch can be installed just like any other Python library or package using pip. For example:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| pip install torch
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| However, since PyTorch is a comprehensive library featuring CPU- and GPU-compatible codes, the installation may require additional settings and explanation (see the *A.1.3 Installing PyTorch in the book for more information*).
 | |
| 
 | |
| It's also highly recommended to consult the installation guide menu on the official PyTorch website at [https://pytorch.org](https://pytorch.org).
