How to install uv

Uv is fast resolver and packaged build for Python packages. The codebase is maintained by its own authors rather than by a vendor.

About the project

Uv is fast resolver and packaged build for Python packages. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How projects are distributed

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

What to confirm beforehand

Check platform requirements first. Recent releases usually need a current runtime and a reasonably modern system.

A quick sanity check

Verifying afterwards is straightforward. If something behaves unexpectedly, check for an older copy earlier in the path, or for a version manager pointing elsewhere.
