====== PWstudio CPU version - Ubuntu 24.04 installation guide ======

Applies to: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS\\
Includes: Docker

<wrap important>
Before you start, we strongly recommend reading [[en:pwstudio:readme|Read this before installing PWstudio]] first. If you don't yet know how to use a tool to log in to a server or upload/download files, read [[en:pwstudio:mobaxterm|the MobaXterm beginner tutorial]] first. The CPU version doesn't need a GPU driver — you only need to install Docker.
</wrap>

----

===== 1. Install Docker =====

The Docker installation steps are exactly the same for the CPU and GPU versions, so just jump straight to the corresponding section of the GPU installation guide — no need to read it twice.

Click the link to jump to the <wrap em>Install Docker</wrap> section: [[en:pwstudio:ubuntu_gpu#Install Docker|Go to "Install Docker"]] and follow the guide starting from "2. Install Docker" through to the end of "2.6 (Optional) Allow a non-root user to run Docker" (**you don't need** to continue on to "3. Install nvidia-container-toolkit" — that's only needed for the GPU version). Then come back here and continue with step 2 below.

===== 2. Install the PWstudio CPU version =====

Once Docker is installed, click the link to continue installing PWstudio itself, starting from <wrap em>Install the server.py service on the host machine</wrap>: [[en:pwstudio:quickstart_cpu#Install the server.py service on the host machine|Go to "Install the server.py service on the host machine"]], and follow the guide through to the end.
