### Use alternative PyTorch distributions
The Docling models depend on the [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) library.
Depending on your architecture, you might want to use a different distribution of `torch`.
For example, you might want support for different accelerator or for a cpu-only version.
All the different ways for installing `torch` are listed on their website <https://pytorch.org/>.
One common situation is the installation on Linux systems with cpu-only support.
In this case, we suggest the installation of Docling with the following options
```bash
# Example for installing on the Linux cpu-only version
pip install docling --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
```
### Development setup
To develop for Docling, you need Python 3.10 / 3.11 / 3.12 and Poetry. You can then install from your local clone's root dir:
