📥 Install

Unsloth can be used in two ways: through Unsloth Studio, the web UI, or through Unsloth Core, the code-based version. Each has different requirements.

Unsloth Studio (web UI)

Unsloth Studio (Beta) works on Windows, Linux, WSL and macOS.

• CPU: Supported for Chat and Data Recipes currently
• NVIDIA: Training works on RTX 30/40/50, Blackwell, DGX Spark, Station and more
• macOS: Training, MLX and GGUF inference are ALL supported.
• AMD: Chat + Data works. Train with Unsloth Core. Studio support is out soon.
• Multi-GPU: Available now, with a major upgrade on the way

macOS, Linux, WSL:

curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | sh

Use the same command to update.

Windows:

irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Use the same command to update.

Launch

unsloth studio -p 8888

For cloud or global access, add -H 0.0.0.0. By default, Unsloth is accessible only locally.

To reach Studio over HTTPS, use unsloth studio --secure. Studio stays bound to localhost and is reached only through a free Cloudflare tunnel, which publishes it at a public https://*.trycloudflare.com URL (it fails closed if the tunnel can't start, so the raw port is never exposed). This makes Studio reachable from the internet, so anyone with the link and API key can use it and run code: keep your API key private (see Remote access below).

Docker

Use our Docker image unsloth/unsloth container. Run:

docker run -d -e JUPYTER_PASSWORD="mypassword" \
  -p 8888:8888 -p 8000:8000 -p 2222:22 \
  -v $(pwd)/work:/workspace/work \
  --gpus all \
  unsloth/unsloth

📥 Advanced Installation

The below advanced instructions are for Unsloth Studio. For Unsloth Core advanced installation, view our docs.

Developer / Nightly / Experimental installs: macOS, Linux, WSL:

The developer install builds from the main branch, which is the latest (nightly) source.

git clone https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth
cd unsloth
./install.sh --local
unsloth studio -p 8888

To install into an isolated location (its own virtual env, auth/, studio.db, cache and llama.cpp build), set UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME and pass it again at launch:

UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD/.studio" ./install.sh --local
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD/.studio" unsloth studio -p 8888

Then to update :

cd unsloth && git pull
./install.sh --local
unsloth studio -p 8888

Developer / Nightly / Experimental installs: Windows PowerShell:

The developer install builds from the main branch, which is the latest (nightly) source.

git clone https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git
cd unsloth
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
.\install.ps1 --local
unsloth studio -p 8888

To install into an isolated location (its own virtual env, auth/, studio.db, cache and llama.cpp build), set UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME and pass it again at launch:

$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD\.studio"; .\install.ps1 --local
$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME="$PWD\.studio"; unsloth studio -p 8888

Then to update :

cd unsloth; git pull
.\install.ps1 --local
unsloth studio -p 8888

Remote access: --secure (HTTPS tunnel) vs raw port

By default unsloth studio binds to 127.0.0.1 (this machine only). To reach it from another device, pick one of:

• --secure (recommended): serve only through a free Cloudflare HTTPS link. Studio stays bound to localhost and the tunnel provides the public URL; it fails closed (does not start) if the tunnel can't come up, so the raw port is never exposed.

unsloth studio --secure -p 8888

• -H 0.0.0.0: bind the raw port on all network interfaces, reachable from anywhere on the network. Only use this on a trusted network.

unsloth studio -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8888

Server-side tools (web search, Python and terminal code execution) run as your user and are on by default. Anyone who can reach the server with the API key can run code on this machine, so keep your API key private and pass --disable-tools when exposing Studio.

Advanced launch options

Installer options can be passed as environment variables. On macOS, Linux and WSL place the variable after the pipe so the shell passes it to sh; on Windows set it with $env: before piping to iex.

Skip PyTorch (GGUF-only mode):

curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH=1 sh

$env:UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH=1; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Pin the Python version:

curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_PYTHON=3.12 sh

$env:UNSLOTH_PYTHON='3.12'; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Install to a custom location with UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME:

curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=/abs/path sh

$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME='C:\path'; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

On macOS, the installer defaults to the system certificate store (UV_SYSTEM_CERTS=1) so uv trusts the CAs in your Keychain, needed behind TLS-inspecting proxies (Cisco Umbrella, Zscaler, etc.). Opt out with:

curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UV_SYSTEM_CERTS=0 sh

Point the frontend build at a corporate npm mirror/proxy with UNSLOTH_NPM_REGISTRY (for the developer install behind a firewall that blocks registry.npmjs.org):

UNSLOTH_NPM_REGISTRY=https://artifactory.example.com/api/npm/npm/ ./install.sh --local

$env:UNSLOTH_NPM_REGISTRY='https://artifactory.example.com/api/npm/npm/'; .\install.ps1 --local

It is threaded as --registry into the Studio frontend npm/bun installs; the supply-chain locks (7-day min-release-age, exact version pins) stay in force.

Cap Studio's native CPU thread pools on high-core hosts: UNSLOTH_CPU_THREADS=8 unsloth studio -p 8888.

Uninstall

The recommended way to fully remove Unsloth Studio is the matching uninstall script for your OS. It stops any running servers, removes the install dir, the launcher data dir, the desktop shortcut, and any platform-specific entries (macOS .app bundle + Launch Services on Mac; Start Menu, HKCU\Software\Unsloth registry key and user PATH entries on Windows):

• ​ MacOS, WSL, Linux: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/scripts/uninstall.sh | sh
• ​ Windows (PowerShell): irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/scripts/uninstall.ps1 | iex

If you only want to drop the install dir and keep the launcher/shortcut for a later reinstall, you can instead run rm -rf ~/.unsloth/studio (Mac/Linux/WSL) or Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME\.unsloth\studio" (Windows). The model cache at ~/.cache/huggingface is not touched by any of these.

For more info, see our docs.

Deleting model files

You can delete old model files either from the bin icon in model search or by removing the relevant cached model folder from the default Hugging Face cache directory. By default, HF uses:

• ​ MacOS, Linux, WSL: ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/
• ​ Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cache\huggingface\hub\
