The following instructions assume you'll be installing UCX-Py on a CUDA-enabled system, in a pip-only environment.

Installing UCX-Py from source in a pip-only environment has additional limitations when compared to conda environments. Unlike conda packages, where the ``ucx`` package is installed under the ``CONDA_PREFIX``, ``libucx`` is installed under ``site-packages`` which is normally not looked for system libraries. Therefore, you will either need UCX to be installed in the system path, or include the UCX install path in ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``.
Installing UCX-Py from source in a pip-only environment has additional limitations when compared to conda environments.

UCX-Py with UCX from PyPI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

CUDA-enabled builds of the UCX libraries are available from PyPI, under the names ``libucx-cu{11,12}``.
Notice that those builds do not currently include InfiniBand support, if InfiniBand is required you will
need to provide a custom UCX install as described in the "UCX-Py with custom UCX install" section.

To build UCX-Py using those UCX packages (to avoid needing to build UCX from source), run the following.

::

conda activate ucx
git clone https://github.com/rapidsai/ucx-py.git
cd ucx-py
pip install -C 'rapidsai.disable-cuda=false' .
# or for develop build
pip install -v -e .

This will automatically handle installing appropriate, compatible ``libucx-cu{11,12}`` packages for build-time and runtime use.
When you run UCX-Py code installed this way, it will load UCX libraries from the installed ``libucx-cu{11,12}`` package.

UCX-Py packages are built against the oldest version of UCX that UCX-Py supports, and can run against a range
of ABI-compatible UCX versions.

You can use packages from PyPI to customize the UCX version used at runtime.
For example, to switch to using UCX 1.16 at runtime, run the following.

::

# CUDA 11
pip install 'libucx-cu11>=1.16.0,<1.17'

# CUDA 12
pip install 'libucx-cu12>=1.16.0,<1.17'

# or for develop build

To ensure that system install of UCX is always used at runtime (and not the ``libucx-cu{11,12}`` wheels), set the following
environment variable in the runtime environment.

UCX-Py with custom UCX install
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
::

If UCX is installed in a non-default path, specifying ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` is required both to install and run UCX-Py code. For installation, ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` is required to ensure UCX-Py builds against the desired version of UCX, since another incompatible UCX version may already be installed in the system. Running UCX-Py code also needs to find the proper UCX libraries at runtime, and thus ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` must be specified as well.
export RAPIDS_LIBUCX_PREFER_SYSTEM_LIBRARY=true

A custom UCX install does not necessarily mean it needs to be build from source, a ``libucx-cuXY`` package may be used as well. For example, with the CUDA ``12`` package:

::

pip install libucx-cu12
UCX-Py with custom UCX install
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The above will install the UCX library in your environment, specifically under ``site-packages/libucx``. To find the path to ``site-packages`` you may execute:
If UCX is installed in a non-default path (as it might be if you built it from source), some additional configuration is required to build and run UCX-Py against it.
To check if the loader can find your custom UCX installation, run the following.

::

python -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])"

The command above will print the path to ``site-packages``, such as ``/opt/python/site-packages``. The path to the UCX shared library installation is then ``/opt/python/site-packages/libucx/lib``, which is the value that will be specified for ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``. If you build UCX from source and installed it in a different location, make sure you adjust the value of ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` accordingly, or if you built UCX from source and installed it in a path that the system will lookup for libraries by default, specifying ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` is unnecessary.
ldconfig -p | grep libucs

Now installing UCX-Py can be done via ``pip install``:
If that returns that filepath you expect, then you can just use the "UCX-Py with UCX system install" instructions above.
If that doesn't show anything, then you need to help the loader find the UCX libraries.
At build time, add your install of UCX to ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``.

::

conda activate ucx
git clone https://github.com/rapidsai/ucx-py.git
cd ucx-py
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/python/site-packages/libucx/lib pip install -v .
CUSTOM_UCX_INSTALL="wherever-you-put-your-ucx-install"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${CUSTOM_UCX_INSTALL}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" \
pip install -v .
# or for develop build
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/python/site-packages/libucx/lib pip install -v -e .
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${CUSTOM_UCX_INSTALL}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" \
pip install -v -e .

Now, to run UCX-Py-enabled code specifying ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` will also be required. For example:
Set the following in the environment to ensure that those libraries are preferred at run time as well.

::

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/python/site-packages/libucx/lib python -c "import ucp; print(ucp.get_ucx_version())"
RAPIDS_LIBUCX_PREFER_SYSTEM_LIBRARY=true
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${CUSTOM_UCX_INSTALL}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" \
python -c "import ucp; print(ucp.get_ucx_version())"
