# SGLang Installation Guide
SGLang consists of a frontend language (Structured Generation Language, SGLang) and a backend runtime (SGLang Runtime, SRT). The frontend can be used separately from the backend, allowing for a detached frontend-backend setup.
## Quick Installation Options
### 1. Frontend Installation (Client-side, any platform)
```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install sglang
```
**Note: You can check [these examples](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/tree/main/examples/frontend_language/usage) for how to use frontend and backend separately.**
### 2. Backend Installation (Server-side, Linux only)
```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "sglang[all]"
pip install flashinfer -i https://flashinfer.ai/whl/cu121/torch2.4/
```
**Note: The backend (SRT) is only needed on the server side and is only available for Linux right now.**
**Important: Please check the [flashinfer installation guidance](https://docs.flashinfer.ai/installation.html) to install the proper version according to your PyTorch and CUDA versions.**
### 3. From Source (Latest version, Linux only for full installation)
```bash
# Use the latest release branch
# As of this documentation, it's v0.2.15, but newer versions may be available
# Do not clone the main branch directly; always use a specific release version
# The main branch may contain unresolved bugs before a new release
git clone -b v0.2.15 https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git
cd sglang
pip install -e "python[all]"
pip install flashinfer -i https://flashinfer.ai/whl/cu121/torch2.4/
```
### 4. OpenAI Backend Only (Client-side, any platform)
If you only need to use the OpenAI backend, you can avoid installing other dependencies by using:
```bash
pip install "sglang[openai]"
```
## Advanced Installation Options
### 1. Using Docker (Server-side, Linux only)
The docker images are available on Docker Hub as [lmsysorg/sglang](https://hub.docker.com/r/lmsysorg/sglang/tags), built from [Dockerfile](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/docker). Replace `<secret>` below with your huggingface hub [token](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/security-tokens).
```bash
docker run --gpus all -p 30000:30000 \
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
--env "HF_TOKEN=<secret>" --ipc=host \
lmsysorg/sglang:latest \
python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct --host 0.0.0.0 --port 30000
```
### 2.Using docker compose
This method is recommended if you plan to serve it as a service. A better approach is to use the [k8s-sglang-service.yaml](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/docker/k8s-sglang-service.yaml).
1. Copy the [compose.yml](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/docker/compose.yaml) to your local machine
2. Execute the command `docker compose up -d` in your terminal.
### 3.Run on Kubernetes or Clouds with SkyPilot

<summary>More</summary>
To deploy on Kubernetes or 12+ clouds, you can use [SkyPilot](https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot).
1. Install SkyPilot and set up Kubernetes cluster or cloud access: see [SkyPilot's documentation](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html).
2. Deploy on your own infra with a single command and get the HTTP API endpoint:
<details>
<summary>SkyPilot YAML: <code>sglang.yaml</code></summary>
```yaml
# sglang.yaml
envs:
HF_TOKEN: null
resources:
image_id: docker:lmsysorg/sglang:latest
accelerators: A100
ports: 30000
run: |
conda deactivate
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
--model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 30000
```
</details>
```bash
# Deploy on any cloud or Kubernetes cluster. Use --cloud <cloud> to select a specific cloud provider.
HF_TOKEN=<secret> sky launch -c sglang --env HF_TOKEN sglang.yaml
# Get the HTTP API endpoint
sky status --endpoint 30000 sglang
```
3. To further scale up your deployment with autoscaling and failure recovery, check out the [SkyServe + SGLang guide](https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot/tree/master/llm/sglang#serving-llama-2-with-sglang-for-more-traffic-using-skyserve).

## Troubleshooting
- For FlashInfer issues on newer GPUs, use `--disable-flashinfer --disable-flashinfer-sampling` when launching the server.
- For out-of-memory errors, try `--mem-fraction-static 0.7` when launching the server.
