## Summary I noticed the command to install multiple Python versions was wrong as it was failing cause `toolchain` is not a known command. I looked in the `ci.yml` workflow to see which command is used there and updated the instructions accordingly. ## Test Plan I just ran the command locally. :)

We have issues labeled as [Good First Issue](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) and [Help Wanted](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) which are good opportunities for new contributors.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
[Rust](https://rustup.rs/), a C compiler, and CMake are required to build uv.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions, you can install the C compiler and CMake with:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential cmake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
You can install CMake with Homebrew:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install cmake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [Python](#python) section for instructions on installing the Python versions.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
You can install CMake from the [installers](https://cmake.org/download/) or with `pipx install cmake`.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
For running tests, we recommend [nextest](https://nexte.st/).
|
|
|
|
If tests fail due to a mismatch in the JSON Schema, run: `cargo dev generate-json-schema`.
|
|
|
|
### Python
|
|
|
|
Testing uv requires multiple specific Python versions; they can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo run python install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The storage directory can be configured with `UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR`.
|
|
|
|
### Local testing
|
|
|
|
You can invoke your development version of uv with `cargo run -- <args>`. For example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo run -- venv
|
|
cargo run -- pip install requests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Testing on Windows
|
|
|
|
When testing debug builds on Windows, the stack can overflow resulting in a `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW` error code.
|
|
This is due to a small stack size limit on Windows that we encounter when running unoptimized builds — the release
|
|
builds do not have this problem. We [added a `UV_STACK_SIZE` variable](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/941) to
|
|
bypass this problem during testing. We recommend bumping the stack size from the default of 1MB to 2MB, for example:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
$Env:UV_STACK_SIZE = '2000000'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running inside a Docker container
|
|
|
|
Source distributions can run arbitrary code on build and can make unwanted modifications to your system (["Someone's Been Messing With My Subnormals!" on Blogspot](https://moyix.blogspot.com/2022/09/someones-been-messing-with-my-subnormals.html), ["nvidia-pyindex" on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-pyindex/)), which can even occur when just resolving requirements. To prevent this, there's a Docker container you can run commands in:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker buildx build -t uv-builder -f builder.dockerfile --load .
|
|
# Build for musl to avoid glibc errors, might not be required with your OS version
|
|
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --profile profiling
|
|
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app uv-builder /app/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/profiling/uv-dev resolve-many --cache-dir /app/cache-docker /app/scripts/popular_packages/pypi_10k_most_dependents.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We recommend using this container if you don't trust the dependency tree of the package(s) you are trying to resolve or install.
|
|
|
|
## Profiling and Benchmarking
|
|
|
|
Please refer to Ruff's [Profiling Guide](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#profiling-projects), it applies to uv, too.
|
|
|
|
We provide diverse sets of requirements for testing and benchmarking the resolver in `scripts/requirements` and for the installer in `scripts/requirements/compiled`.
|
|
|
|
You can use `scripts/bench` to benchmark predefined workloads between uv versions and with other tools, e.g.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python -m scripts.bench \
|
|
--uv-path ./target/release/before \
|
|
--uv-path ./target/release/after \
|
|
./scripts/requirements/jupyter.in --benchmark resolve-cold --min-runs 20
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Analyzing concurrency
|
|
|
|
You can use [tracing-durations-export](https://github.com/konstin/tracing-durations-export) to visualize parallel requests and find any spots where uv is CPU-bound. Example usage, with `uv` and `uv-dev` respectively:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
RUST_LOG=uv=info TRACING_DURATIONS_FILE=target/traces/jupyter.ndjson cargo run --features tracing-durations-export --profile profiling -- pip compile scripts/requirements/jupyter.in
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
RUST_LOG=uv=info TRACING_DURATIONS_FILE=target/traces/jupyter.ndjson cargo run --features tracing-durations-export --bin uv-dev --profile profiling -- resolve jupyter
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Trace-level logging
|
|
|
|
You can enable `trace` level logging using the `RUST_LOG` environment variable, i.e.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
RUST_LOG=trace uv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
Releases can only be performed by Astral team members.
|
|
|
|
Changelog entries and version bumps are automated. First, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./scripts/release.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, editorialize the `CHANGELOG.md` file to ensure entries are consistently styled.
|
|
|
|
Then, open a pull request e.g. `Bump version to ...`.
|
|
|
|
Binary builds will automatically be tested for the release.
|
|
|
|
After merging the pull request, run the [release workflow](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/actions/workflows/release.yml)
|
|
with the version tag. **Do not include a leading `v`**.
|
|
The release will automatically be created on GitHub after everything else publishes.
