## Project metadata
### [`build-constraint-dependencies`](#build-constraint-dependencies) {: #build-constraint-dependencies }

Constraints to apply when solving build dependencies.

Build constraints are used to restrict the versions of build dependencies that are selected
when building a package during resolution or installation.

Including a package as a constraint will _not_ trigger installation of the package during
a build; instead, the package must be requested elsewhere in the project's build dependency
graph.

!!! note
    In `uv lock`, `uv sync`, and `uv run`, uv will only read `build-constraint-dependencies` from
    the `pyproject.toml` at the workspace root, and will ignore any declarations in other
    workspace members or `uv.toml` files.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
# Ensure that the setuptools v60.0.0 is used whenever a package has a build dependency
# on setuptools.
build-constraint-dependencies = ["setuptools==60.0.0"]
```

---

### [`conflicts`](#conflicts) {: #conflicts }

Declare collections of extras or dependency groups that are conflicting
(i.e., mutually exclusive).

It's useful to declare conflicts when two or more extras have mutually
incompatible dependencies. For example, extra `foo` might depend
on `numpy==2.0.0` while extra `bar` depends on `numpy==2.1.0`. While these
dependencies conflict, it may be the case that users are not expected to
activate both `foo` and `bar` at the same time, making it possible to
generate a universal resolution for the project despite the incompatibility.

By making such conflicts explicit, uv can generate a universal resolution
for a project, taking into account that certain combinations of extras and
groups are mutually exclusive. In exchange, installation will fail if a
user attempts to activate both conflicting extras.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[list[dict]]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
# Require that `package[extra1]` and `package[extra2]` are resolved
# in different forks so that they cannot conflict with one another.
conflicts = [
    [
        { extra = "extra1" },
        { extra = "extra2" },
    ]
]

# Require that the dependency groups `group1` and `group2`
# are resolved in different forks so that they cannot conflict
# with one another.
conflicts = [
    [
        { group = "group1" },
        { group = "group2" },
    ]
]
```

---

### [`constraint-dependencies`](#constraint-dependencies) {: #constraint-dependencies }

Constraints to apply when resolving the project's dependencies.

Constraints are used to restrict the versions of dependencies that are selected during
resolution.

Including a package as a constraint will _not_ trigger installation of the package on its
own; instead, the package must be requested elsewhere in the project's first-party or
transitive dependencies.

!!! note
    In `uv lock`, `uv sync`, and `uv run`, uv will only read `constraint-dependencies` from
    the `pyproject.toml` at the workspace root, and will ignore any declarations in other
    workspace members or `uv.toml` files.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
# Ensure that the grpcio version is always less than 1.65, if it's requested by a
# direct or transitive dependency.
constraint-dependencies = ["grpcio<1.65"]
```

---

### [`default-groups`](#default-groups) {: #default-groups }

The list of `dependency-groups` to install by default.

Can also be the literal `"all"` to default enable all groups.

**Default value**: `["dev"]`

**Type**: `str | list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
default-groups = ["docs"]
```

---

### [`dependency-groups`](#dependency-groups) {: #dependency-groups }

Additional settings for `dependency-groups`.

Currently this can only be used to add `requires-python` constraints
to dependency groups (typically to inform uv that your dev tooling
has a higher python requirement than your actual project).

This cannot be used to define dependency groups, use the top-level
`[dependency-groups]` table for that.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `dict`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"

[tool.uv.dependency-groups]
my-group = {requires-python = ">=3.12"}
```

---

### [`dev-dependencies`](#dev-dependencies) {: #dev-dependencies }

The project's development dependencies.

Development dependencies will be installed by default in `uv run` and `uv sync`, but will
not appear in the project's published metadata.

Use of this field is not recommend anymore. Instead, use the `dependency-groups.dev` field
which is a standardized way to declare development dependencies. The contents of
`tool.uv.dev-dependencies` and `dependency-groups.dev` are combined to determine the final
requirements of the `dev` dependency group.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
dev-dependencies = ["ruff==0.5.0"]
```

---

### [`environments`](#environments) {: #environments }

A list of supported environments against which to resolve dependencies.

By default, uv will resolve for all possible environments during a `uv lock` operation.
However, you can restrict the set of supported environments to improve performance and avoid
unsatisfiable branches in the solution space.

These environments will also be respected when `uv pip compile` is invoked with the
`--universal` flag.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `str | list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
# Resolve for macOS, but not for Linux or Windows.
environments = ["sys_platform == 'darwin'"]
```

---

### [`extra-build-dependencies`](#extra-build-dependencies) {: #extra-build-dependencies }

Additional build dependencies for packages.

This allows extending the PEP 517 build environment for the project's dependencies with
additional packages. This is useful for packages that assume the presence of packages, like,
`pip`, and do not declare them as build dependencies.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `dict`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"

[tool.uv.extra-build-dependencies]
pytest = ["pip"]
```

---

### [`extra-build-variables`](#extra-build-variables) {: #extra-build-variables }

Extra environment variables to set when building certain packages.

Environment variables will be added to the environment when building the
specified packages.

**Default value**: `{}`

**Type**: `dict[str, dict[str, str]]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"

[tool.uv.extra-build-variables]
flash-attn = { FLASH_ATTENTION_SKIP_CUDA_BUILD = "TRUE" }
```

---

### [`index`](#index) {: #index }

The indexes to use when resolving dependencies.

Accepts either a repository compliant with [PEP 503](https://peps.python.org/pep-0503/)
(the simple repository API), or a local directory laid out in the same format.

Indexes are considered in the order in which they're defined, such that the first-defined
index has the highest priority. Further, the indexes provided by this setting are given
higher priority than any indexes specified via [`index_url`](#index-url) or
[`extra_index_url`](#extra-index-url). uv will only consider the first index that contains
a given package, unless an alternative [index strategy](#index-strategy) is specified.

If an index is marked as `explicit = true`, it will be used exclusively for the
dependencies that select it explicitly via `[tool.uv.sources]`, as in:

```toml
[[tool.uv.index]]
name = "pytorch"
url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121"
explicit = true

[tool.uv.sources]
torch = { index = "pytorch" }
```

If an index is marked as `default = true`, it will be moved to the end of the prioritized list, such that it is
given the lowest priority when resolving packages. Additionally, marking an index as default will disable the
PyPI default index.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `dict`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"

[[tool.uv.index]]
name = "pytorch"
url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121"
```

---

### [`managed`](#managed) {: #managed }

Whether the project is managed by uv. If `false`, uv will ignore the project when
`uv run` is invoked.

**Default value**: `true`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
managed = false
```

---

### [`override-dependencies`](#override-dependencies) {: #override-dependencies }

Overrides to apply when resolving the project's dependencies.

Overrides are used to force selection of a specific version of a package, regardless of the
version requested by any other package, and regardless of whether choosing that version
would typically constitute an invalid resolution.

While constraints are _additive_, in that they're combined with the requirements of the
constituent packages, overrides are _absolute_, in that they completely replace the
requirements of any constituent packages.

Including a package as an override will _not_ trigger installation of the package on its
own; instead, the package must be requested elsewhere in the project's first-party or
transitive dependencies.

!!! note
    In `uv lock`, `uv sync`, and `uv run`, uv will only read `override-dependencies` from
    the `pyproject.toml` at the workspace root, and will ignore any declarations in other
    workspace members or `uv.toml` files.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
# Always install Werkzeug 2.3.0, regardless of whether transitive dependencies request
# a different version.
override-dependencies = ["werkzeug==2.3.0"]
```

---

### [`package`](#package) {: #package }

Whether the project should be considered a Python package, or a non-package ("virtual")
project.

Packages are built and installed into the virtual environment in editable mode and thus
require a build backend, while virtual projects are _not_ built or installed; instead, only
their dependencies are included in the virtual environment.

Creating a package requires that a `build-system` is present in the `pyproject.toml`, and
that the project adheres to a structure that adheres to the build backend's expectations
(e.g., a `src` layout).

**Default value**: `true`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
package = false
```

---

### [`required-environments`](#required-environments) {: #required-environments }

A list of required platforms, for packages that lack source distributions.

When a package does not have a source distribution, it's availability will be limited to
the platforms supported by its built distributions (wheels). For example, if a package only
publishes wheels for Linux, then it won't be installable on macOS or Windows.

By default, uv requires each package to include at least one wheel that is compatible with
the designated Python version. The `required-environments` setting can be used to ensure that
the resulting resolution contains wheels for specific platforms, or fails if no such wheels
are available.

While the `environments` setting _limits_ the set of environments that uv will consider when
resolving dependencies, `required-environments` _expands_ the set of platforms that uv _must_
support when resolving dependencies.

For example, `environments = ["sys_platform == 'darwin'"]` would limit uv to solving for
macOS (and ignoring Linux and Windows). On the other hand, `required-environments = ["sys_platform == 'darwin'"]`
would _require_ that any package without a source distribution include a wheel for macOS in
order to be installable.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `str | list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv]
# Require that the package is available for macOS ARM and x86 (Intel).
required-environments = [
    "sys_platform == 'darwin' and platform_machine == 'arm64'",
    "sys_platform == 'darwin' and platform_machine == 'x86_64'",
]
```

---

### [`sources`](#sources) {: #sources }

The sources to use when resolving dependencies.

`tool.uv.sources` enriches the dependency metadata with additional sources, incorporated
during development. A dependency source can be a Git repository, a URL, a local path, or an
alternative registry.

See [Dependencies](../concepts/projects/dependencies.md) for more.

**Default value**: `{}`

**Type**: `dict`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"

[tool.uv.sources]
httpx = { git = "https://github.com/encode/httpx", tag = "0.27.0" }
pytest = { url = "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/6b/77/7440a06a8ead44c7757a64362dd22df5760f9b12dc5f11b6188cd2fc27a0/pytest-8.3.3-py3-none-any.whl" }
pydantic = { path = "/path/to/pydantic", editable = true }
```

---

### `build-backend`

Settings for the uv build backend (`uv_build`).

Note that those settings only apply when using the `uv_build` backend, other build backends
(such as hatchling) have their own configuration.

All options that accept globs use the portable glob patterns from
[PEP 639](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/glob-patterns/).

#### [`data`](#build-backend_data) {: #build-backend_data }
<span id="data"></span>

Data includes for wheels.

Each entry is a directory, whose contents are copied to the matching directory in the wheel
in `<name>-<version>.data/(purelib|platlib|headers|scripts|data)`. Upon installation, this
data is moved to its target location, as defined by
<https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/sysconfig.html#installation-paths>. Usually, small
data files are included by placing them in the Python module instead of using data includes.

- `scripts`: Installed to the directory for executables, `<venv>/bin` on Unix or
  `<venv>\Scripts` on Windows. This directory is added to `PATH` when the virtual
  environment  is activated or when using `uv run`, so this data type can be used to install
  additional binaries. Consider using `project.scripts` instead for Python entrypoints.
- `data`: Installed over the virtualenv environment root.

    Warning: This may override existing files!

- `headers`: Installed to the include directory. Compilers building Python packages
  with this package as build requirement use the include directory to find additional header
  files.
- `purelib` and `platlib`: Installed to the `site-packages` directory. It is not recommended
  to use these two options.

**Default value**: `{}`

**Type**: `dict[str, str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
data = { headers = "include/headers", scripts = "bin" }
```

---

#### [`default-excludes`](#build-backend_default-excludes) {: #build-backend_default-excludes }
<span id="default-excludes"></span>

If set to `false`, the default excludes aren't applied.

Default excludes: `__pycache__`, `*.pyc`, and `*.pyo`.

**Default value**: `true`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
default-excludes = false
```

---

#### [`module-name`](#build-backend_module-name) {: #build-backend_module-name }
<span id="module-name"></span>

The name of the module directory inside `module-root`.

The default module name is the package name with dots and dashes replaced by underscores.

Package names need to be valid Python identifiers, and the directory needs to contain a
`__init__.py`. An exception are stubs packages, whose name ends with `-stubs`, with the stem
being the module name, and which contain a `__init__.pyi` file.

For namespace packages with a single module, the path can be dotted, e.g., `foo.bar` or
`foo-stubs.bar`.

For namespace packages with multiple modules, the path can be a list, e.g.,
`["foo", "bar"]`. We recommend using a single module per package, splitting multiple
packages into a workspace.

Note that using this option runs the risk of creating two packages with different names but
the same module names. Installing such packages together leads to unspecified behavior,
often with corrupted files or directory trees.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str | list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
module-name = "sklearn"
```

---

#### [`module-root`](#build-backend_module-root) {: #build-backend_module-root }
<span id="module-root"></span>

The directory that contains the module directory.

Common values are `src` (src layout, the default) or an empty path (flat layout).

**Default value**: `"src"`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
module-root = ""
```

---

#### [`namespace`](#build-backend_namespace) {: #build-backend_namespace }
<span id="namespace"></span>

Build a namespace package.

Build a PEP 420 implicit namespace package, allowing more than one root `__init__.py`.

Use this option when the namespace package contains multiple root `__init__.py`, for
namespace packages with a single root `__init__.py` use a dotted `module-name` instead.

To compare dotted `module-name` and `namespace = true`, the first example below can be
expressed with `module-name = "cloud.database"`: There is one root `__init__.py` `database`.
In the second example, we have three roots (`cloud.database`, `cloud.database_pro`,
`billing.modules.database_pro`), so `namespace = true` is required.

```text
src
└── cloud
    └── database
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── query_builder
        │   └── __init__.py
        └── sql
            ├── parser.py
            └── __init__.py
```

```text
src
├── cloud
│   ├── database
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── query_builder
│   │   │   └── __init__.py
│   │   └── sql
│   │       ├── __init__.py
│   │       └── parser.py
│   └── database_pro
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── query_builder.py
└── billing
    └── modules
        └── database_pro
            ├── __init__.py
            └── sql.py
```

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
namespace = true
```

---

#### [`source-exclude`](#build-backend_source-exclude) {: #build-backend_source-exclude }
<span id="source-exclude"></span>

Glob expressions which files and directories to exclude from the source distribution.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
source-exclude = ["*.bin"]
```

---

#### [`source-include`](#build-backend_source-include) {: #build-backend_source-include }
<span id="source-include"></span>

Glob expressions which files and directories to additionally include in the source
distribution.

`pyproject.toml` and the contents of the module directory are always included.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
source-include = ["tests/**"]
```

---

#### [`wheel-exclude`](#build-backend_wheel-exclude) {: #build-backend_wheel-exclude }
<span id="wheel-exclude"></span>

Glob expressions which files and directories to exclude from the wheel.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.build-backend]
wheel-exclude = ["*.bin"]
```

---

### `workspace`

#### [`exclude`](#workspace_exclude) {: #workspace_exclude }
<span id="exclude"></span>

Packages to exclude as workspace members. If a package matches both `members` and
`exclude`, it will be excluded.

Supports both globs and explicit paths.

For more information on the glob syntax, refer to the [`glob` documentation](https://docs.rs/glob/latest/glob/struct.Pattern.html).

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.workspace]
exclude = ["member1", "path/to/member2", "libs/*"]
```

---

#### [`members`](#workspace_members) {: #workspace_members }
<span id="members"></span>

Packages to include as workspace members.

Supports both globs and explicit paths.

For more information on the glob syntax, refer to the [`glob` documentation](https://docs.rs/glob/latest/glob/struct.Pattern.html).

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

```toml title="pyproject.toml"
[tool.uv.workspace]
members = ["member1", "path/to/member2", "libs/*"]
```

---

## Configuration
### [`add-bounds`](#add-bounds) {: #add-bounds }

The default version specifier when adding a dependency.

When adding a dependency to the project, if no constraint or URL is provided, a constraint
is added based on the latest compatible version of the package. By default, a lower bound
constraint is used, e.g., `>=1.2.3`.

When `--frozen` is provided, no resolution is performed, and dependencies are always added
without constraints.

This option is in preview and may change in any future release.

**Default value**: `"lower"`

**Possible values**:

- `"lower"`: Only a lower bound, e.g., `>=1.2.3`
- `"major"`: Allow the same major version, similar to the semver caret, e.g., `>=1.2.3, <2.0.0`
- `"minor"`: Allow the same minor version, similar to the semver tilde, e.g., `>=1.2.3, <1.3.0`
- `"exact"`: Pin the exact version, e.g., `==1.2.3`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    add-bounds = "major"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    add-bounds = "major"
    ```

---

### [`allow-insecure-host`](#allow-insecure-host) {: #allow-insecure-host }

Allow insecure connections to host.

Expects to receive either a hostname (e.g., `localhost`), a host-port pair (e.g.,
`localhost:8080`), or a URL (e.g., `https://localhost`).

WARNING: Hosts included in this list will not be verified against the system's certificate
store. Only use `--allow-insecure-host` in a secure network with verified sources, as it
bypasses SSL verification and could expose you to MITM attacks.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    allow-insecure-host = ["localhost:8080"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    allow-insecure-host = ["localhost:8080"]
    ```

---

### [`cache-dir`](#cache-dir) {: #cache-dir }

Path to the cache directory.

Defaults to `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/uv` or `$HOME/.cache/uv` on Linux and macOS, and
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\uv\cache` on Windows.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    cache-dir = "./.uv_cache"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    cache-dir = "./.uv_cache"
    ```

---

### [`cache-keys`](#cache-keys) {: #cache-keys }

The keys to consider when caching builds for the project.

Cache keys enable you to specify the files or directories that should trigger a rebuild when
modified. By default, uv will rebuild a project whenever the `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`,
or `setup.cfg` files in the project directory are modified, or if a `src` directory is
added or removed, i.e.:

```toml
cache-keys = [{ file = "pyproject.toml" }, { file = "setup.py" }, { file = "setup.cfg" }, { dir = "src" }]
```

As an example: if a project uses dynamic metadata to read its dependencies from a
`requirements.txt` file, you can specify `cache-keys = [{ file = "requirements.txt" }, { file = "pyproject.toml" }]`
to ensure that the project is rebuilt whenever the `requirements.txt` file is modified (in
addition to watching the `pyproject.toml`).

Globs are supported, following the syntax of the [`glob`](https://docs.rs/glob/0.3.1/glob/struct.Pattern.html)
crate. For example, to invalidate the cache whenever a `.toml` file in the project directory
or any of its subdirectories is modified, you can specify `cache-keys = [{ file = "**/*.toml" }]`.
Note that the use of globs can be expensive, as uv may need to walk the filesystem to
determine whether any files have changed.

Cache keys can also include version control information. For example, if a project uses
`setuptools_scm` to read its version from a Git commit, you can specify `cache-keys = [{ git = { commit = true }, { file = "pyproject.toml" }]`
to include the current Git commit hash in the cache key (in addition to the
`pyproject.toml`). Git tags are also supported via `cache-keys = [{ git = { commit = true, tags = true } }]`.

Cache keys can also include environment variables. For example, if a project relies on
`MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` or other environment variables to determine its behavior, you can
specify `cache-keys = [{ env = "MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET" }]` to invalidate the cache
whenever the environment variable changes.

Cache keys only affect the project defined by the `pyproject.toml` in which they're
specified (as opposed to, e.g., affecting all members in a workspace), and all paths and
globs are interpreted as relative to the project directory.

**Default value**: `[{ file = "pyproject.toml" }, { file = "setup.py" }, { file = "setup.cfg" }]`

**Type**: `list[dict]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    cache-keys = [{ file = "pyproject.toml" }, { file = "requirements.txt" }, { git = { commit = true } }]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    cache-keys = [{ file = "pyproject.toml" }, { file = "requirements.txt" }, { git = { commit = true } }]
    ```

---

### [`check-url`](#check-url) {: #check-url }

Check an index URL for existing files to skip duplicate uploads.

This option allows retrying publishing that failed after only some, but not all files have
been uploaded, and handles error due to parallel uploads of the same file.

Before uploading, the index is checked. If the exact same file already exists in the index,
the file will not be uploaded. If an error occurred during the upload, the index is checked
again, to handle cases where the identical file was uploaded twice in parallel.

The exact behavior will vary based on the index. When uploading to PyPI, uploading the same
file succeeds even without `--check-url`, while most other indexes error.

The index must provide one of the supported hashes (SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512).

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    check-url = "https://test.pypi.org/simple"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    check-url = "https://test.pypi.org/simple"
    ```

---

### [`compile-bytecode`](#compile-bytecode) {: #compile-bytecode }

Compile Python files to bytecode after installation.

By default, uv does not compile Python (`.py`) files to bytecode (`__pycache__/*.pyc`);
instead, compilation is performed lazily the first time a module is imported. For use-cases
in which start time is critical, such as CLI applications and Docker containers, this option
can be enabled to trade longer installation times for faster start times.

When enabled, uv will process the entire site-packages directory (including packages that
are not being modified by the current operation) for consistency. Like pip, it will also
ignore errors.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml

---

### [`exclude-newer`](#exclude-newer) {: #exclude-newer }

Limit candidate packages to those that were uploaded prior to a given point in time.

Accepts a superset of [RFC 3339](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3339.html) (e.g.,
`2006-12-02T02:07:43Z`). A full timestamp is required to ensure that the resolver will
behave consistently across timezones.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    exclude-newer = "2006-12-02T02:07:43Z"

    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    exclude-newer-package = { tqdm = "2022-04-04T00:00:00Z" }
    ```

---

### [`extra-build-dependencies`](#extra-build-dependencies) {: #extra-build-dependencies }

Additional build dependencies for packages.

This allows extending the PEP 517 build environment for the project's dependencies with
additional packages. This is useful for packages that assume the presence of packages like
`pip`, and do not declare them as build dependencies.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `dict`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    [extra-build-dependencies]
    pytest = ["setuptools"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [extra-build-dependencies]
    pytest = ["setuptools"]
    ```

---

### [`extra-build-variables`](#extra-build-variables) {: #extra-build-variables }

    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.extra-build-variables]
    flash-attn = { FLASH_ATTENTION_SKIP_CUDA_BUILD = "TRUE" }
    ```

---

### [`extra-index-url`](#extra-index-url) {: #extra-index-url }

Extra URLs of package indexes to use, in addition to `--index-url`.

Accepts either a repository compliant with [PEP 503](https://peps.python.org/pep-0503/)
(the simple repository API), or a local directory laid out in the same format.

All indexes provided via this flag take priority over the index specified by
[`index_url`](#index-url) or [`index`](#index) with `default = true`. When multiple indexes
are provided, earlier values take priority.

To control uv's resolution strategy when multiple indexes are present, see
[`index_strategy`](#index-strategy).

(Deprecated: use `index` instead.)

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    extra-index-url = ["https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    extra-index-url = ["https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu"]
    ```

---

### [`find-links`](#find-links) {: #find-links }

Locations to search for candidate distributions, in addition to those found in the registry
indexes.

If a path, the target must be a directory that contains packages as wheel files (`.whl`) or
source distributions (e.g., `.tar.gz` or `.zip`) at the top level.

If a URL, the page must contain a flat list of links to package files adhering to the
formats described above.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    find-links = ["https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    find-links = ["https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html"]
    ```

---

### [`fork-strategy`](#fork-strategy) {: #fork-strategy }

The strategy to use when selecting multiple versions of a given package across Python
versions and platforms.

By default, uv will optimize for selecting the latest version of each package for each
supported Python version (`requires-python`), while minimizing the number of selected
versions across platforms.

Under `fewest`, uv will minimize the number of selected versions for each package,
preferring older versions that are compatible with a wider range of supported Python
versions or platforms.

**Default value**: `"requires-python"`

**Possible values**:

- `"fewest"`: Optimize for selecting the fewest number of versions for each package. Older versions may be preferred if they are compatible with a wider range of supported Python versions or platforms
- `"requires-python"`: Optimize for selecting latest supported version of each package, for each supported Python version

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    fork-strategy = "fewest"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    fork-strategy = "fewest"
    ```

---

### [`index`](#index) {: #index }

The package indexes to use when resolving dependencies.

Accepts either a repository compliant with [PEP 503](https://peps.python.org/pep-0503/)
(the simple repository API), or a local directory laid out in the same format.

Indexes are considered in the order in which they're defined, such that the first-defined
index has the highest priority. Further, the indexes provided by this setting are given
higher priority than any indexes specified via [`index_url`](#index-url) or
[`extra_index_url`](#extra-index-url). uv will only consider the first index that contains
a given package, unless an alternative [index strategy](#index-strategy) is specified.

If an index is marked as `explicit = true`, it will be used exclusively for those
dependencies that select it explicitly via `[tool.uv.sources]`, as in:

```toml
[[tool.uv.index]]
name = "pytorch"
url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121"
explicit = true

[tool.uv.sources]
torch = { index = "pytorch" }
```

If an index is marked as `default = true`, it will be moved to the end of the prioritized list, such that it is
given the lowest priority when resolving packages. Additionally, marking an index as default will disable the
PyPI default index.

**Default value**: `"[]"`

**Type**: `dict`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [[tool.uv.index]]
    name = "pytorch"
    url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [[tool.uv.index]]
    name = "pytorch"
    url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121"
    ```

---

### [`index-strategy`](#index-strategy) {: #index-strategy }

The strategy to use when resolving against multiple index URLs.

By default, uv will stop at the first index on which a given package is available, and
limit resolutions to those present on that first index (`first-index`). This prevents
"dependency confusion" attacks, whereby an attacker can upload a malicious package under the
same name to an alternate index.

**Default value**: `"first-index"`

**Possible values**:

- `"first-index"`: Only use results from the first index that returns a match for a given package name
- `"unsafe-first-match"`: Search for every package name across all indexes, exhausting the versions from the first index before moving on to the next
- `"unsafe-best-match"`: Search for every package name across all indexes, preferring the "best" version found. If a package version is in multiple indexes, only look at the entry for the first index

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    index-strategy = "unsafe-best-match"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    index-strategy = "unsafe-best-match"
    ```

---

### [`index-url`](#index-url) {: #index-url }

The URL of the Python package index (by default: <https://pypi.org/simple>).

Accepts either a repository compliant with [PEP 503](https://peps.python.org/pep-0503/)
(the simple repository API), or a local directory laid out in the same format.

The index provided by this setting is given lower priority than any indexes specified via
[`extra_index_url`](#extra-index-url) or [`index`](#index).

(Deprecated: use `index` instead.)

**Default value**: `"https://pypi.org/simple"`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    index-url = "https://test.pypi.org/simple"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    index-url = "https://test.pypi.org/simple"
    ```

---

### [`keyring-provider`](#keyring-provider) {: #keyring-provider }

Attempt to use `keyring` for authentication for index URLs.

At present, only `--keyring-provider subprocess` is supported, which configures uv to
use the `keyring` CLI to handle authentication.

**Default value**: `"disabled"`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    keyring-provider = "subprocess"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    keyring-provider = "subprocess"
    ```

---

### [`link-mode`](#link-mode) {: #link-mode }

The method to use when installing packages from the global cache.

Defaults to `clone` (also known as Copy-on-Write) on macOS, and `hardlink` on Linux and
Windows.

WARNING: The use of symlink link mode is discouraged, as they create tight coupling between
the cache and the target environment. For example, clearing the cache (`uv cache clear`)
will break all installed packages by way of removing the underlying source files. Use
symlinks with caution.

**Default value**: `"clone" (macOS) or "hardlink" (Linux, Windows)`

**Possible values**:

- `"clone"`: Clone (i.e., copy-on-write) packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory
- `"copy"`: Copy packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory
- `"hardlink"`: Hard link packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory
- `"symlink"`: Symbolically link packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    link-mode = "copy"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    link-mode = "copy"
    ```

---

### [`native-tls`](#native-tls) {: #native-tls }

Whether to load TLS certificates from the platform's native certificate store.

By default, uv loads certificates from the bundled `webpki-roots` crate. The
`webpki-roots` are a reliable set of trust roots from Mozilla, and including them in uv
improves portability and performance (especially on macOS).

However, in some cases, you may want to use the platform's native certificate store,
especially if you're relying on a corporate trust root (e.g., for a mandatory proxy) that's
included in your system's certificate store.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    native-tls = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    native-tls = true
    ```

---

### [`no-binary`](#no-binary) {: #no-binary }

    ```toml
    no-binary-package = ["ruff"]
    ```

---

### [`no-build`](#no-build) {: #no-build }

Don't build source distributions.

When enabled, resolving will not run arbitrary Python code. The cached wheels of
already-built source distributions will be reused, but operations that require building
distributions will exit with an error.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    no-build = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    no-build = true
    ```

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    no-index = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    no-index = true
    ```

---

### [`no-sources`](#no-sources) {: #no-sources }

Ignore the `tool.uv.sources` table when resolving dependencies. Used to lock against the
standards-compliant, publishable package metadata, as opposed to using any local or Git
sources.

    ```

---

### [`prerelease`](#prerelease) {: #prerelease }

The strategy to use when considering pre-release versions.

By default, uv will accept pre-releases for packages that _only_ publish pre-releases,
along with first-party requirements that contain an explicit pre-release marker in the
declared specifiers (`if-necessary-or-explicit`).

**Default value**: `"if-necessary-or-explicit"`

**Possible values**:

- `"disallow"`: Disallow all pre-release versions
- `"allow"`: Allow all pre-release versions
- `"if-necessary"`: Allow pre-release versions if all versions of a package are pre-release
- `"explicit"`: Allow pre-release versions for first-party packages with explicit pre-release markers in their version requirements
- `"if-necessary-or-explicit"`: Allow pre-release versions if all versions of a package are pre-release, or if the package has an explicit pre-release marker in its version requirements

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv]
    prerelease = "allow"
    ```

    ```

---

### [`pypy-install-mirror`](#pypy-install-mirror) {: #pypy-install-mirror }

Mirror URL to use for downloading managed PyPy installations.

By default, managed PyPy installations are downloaded from [downloads.python.org](https://downloads.python.org/).
This variable can be set to a mirror URL to use a different source for PyPy installations.
The provided URL will replace `https://downloads.python.org/pypy` in, e.g., `https://downloads.python.org/pypy/pypy3.8-v7.3.7-osx64.tar.bz2`.

Distributions can be read from a
local directory by using the `file://` URL scheme.

    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    upgrade-package = ["ruff"]
    ```

---

### `pip`

Settings that are specific to the `uv pip` command-line interface.

These values will be ignored when running commands outside the `uv pip` namespace (e.g.,
`uv lock`, `uvx`).

#### [`all-extras`](#pip_all-extras) {: #pip_all-extras }
<span id="all-extras"></span>

Include all optional dependencies.

Only applies to `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`, and `setup.cfg` sources.

- `"split"`: Render each annotation on its own line

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    annotation-style = "line"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]

---

#### [`break-system-packages`](#pip_break-system-packages) {: #pip_break-system-packages }
<span id="break-system-packages"></span>

Allow uv to modify an `EXTERNALLY-MANAGED` Python installation.

WARNING: `--break-system-packages` is intended for use in continuous integration (CI)
environments, when installing into Python installations that are managed by an external
package manager, like `apt`. It should be used with caution, as such Python installations
explicitly recommend against modifications by other package managers (like uv or pip).

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    break-system-packages = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    break-system-packages = true
    ```

---

#### [`compile-bytecode`](#pip_compile-bytecode) {: #pip_compile-bytecode }
<span id="compile-bytecode"></span>

Compile Python files to bytecode after installation.

By default, uv does not compile Python (`.py`) files to bytecode (`__pycache__/*.pyc`);
instead, compilation is performed lazily the first time a module is imported. For use-cases
in which start time is critical, such as CLI applications and Docker containers, this option
can be enabled to trade longer installation times for faster start times.

When enabled, uv will process the entire site-packages directory (including packages that
are not being modified by the current operation) for consistency. Like pip, it will also
ignore errors.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    compile-bytecode = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    compile-bytecode = true
    ```

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    config-settings = { editable_mode = "compat" }
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    config-settings = { editable_mode = "compat" }
    ```

---

**Type**: `dict`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    config-settings-package = { numpy = { editable_mode = "compat" } }
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    config-settings-package = { numpy = { editable_mode = "compat" } }
    ```

    ```

---

#### [`dependency-metadata`](#pip_dependency-metadata) {: #pip_dependency-metadata }
<span id="dependency-metadata"></span>

Pre-defined static metadata for dependencies of the project (direct or transitive). When
provided, enables the resolver to use the specified metadata instead of querying the
registry or building the relevant package from source.

Metadata should be provided in adherence with the [Metadata 2.3](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/core-metadata/)
standard, though only the following fields are respected:

- `name`: The name of the package.

    ```

---

#### [`extra-build-dependencies`](#pip_extra-build-dependencies) {: #pip_extra-build-dependencies }
<span id="extra-build-dependencies"></span>

Additional build dependencies for packages.

This allows extending the PEP 517 build environment for the project's dependencies with

    [extra-build-variables]
    flash-attn = { FLASH_ATTENTION_SKIP_CUDA_BUILD = "TRUE" }
    ```

---

#### [`extra-index-url`](#pip_extra-index-url) {: #pip_extra-index-url }
<span id="extra-index-url"></span>

Extra URLs of package indexes to use, in addition to `--index-url`.

Accepts either a repository compliant with [PEP 503](https://peps.python.org/pep-0503/)
(the simple repository API), or a local directory laid out in the same format.

All indexes provided via this flag take priority over the index specified by
[`index_url`](#index-url). When multiple indexes are provided, earlier values take priority.

To control uv's resolution strategy when multiple indexes are present, see
[`index_strategy`](#index-strategy).

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]

    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    extra-index-url = ["https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu"]
    ```

---

#### [`find-links`](#pip_find-links) {: #pip_find-links }
<span id="find-links"></span>

Locations to search for candidate distributions, in addition to those found in the registry
indexes.

If a path, the target must be a directory that contains packages as wheel files (`.whl`) or
source distributions (e.g., `.tar.gz` or `.zip`) at the top level.

If a URL, the page must contain a flat list of links to package files adhering to the
formats described above.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    find-links = ["https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    find-links = ["https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html"]
    ```

---

#### [`fork-strategy`](#pip_fork-strategy) {: #pip_fork-strategy }
<span id="fork-strategy"></span>

The strategy to use when selecting multiple versions of a given package across Python
versions and platforms.

By default, uv will optimize for selecting the latest version of each package for each
supported Python version (`requires-python`), while minimizing the number of selected
versions across platforms.

Under `fewest`, uv will minimize the number of selected versions for each package,
preferring older versions that are compatible with a wider range of supported Python
versions or platforms.

**Default value**: `"requires-python"`

**Possible values**:

- `"fewest"`: Optimize for selecting the fewest number of versions for each package. Older versions may be preferred if they are compatible with a wider range of supported Python versions or platforms
- `"requires-python"`: Optimize for selecting latest supported version of each package, for each supported Python version

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    fork-strategy = "fewest"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    fork-strategy = "fewest"
    ```

---

    [tool.uv.pip]
    generate-hashes = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    generate-hashes = true
    ```

---

#### [`group`](#pip_group) {: #pip_group }
<span id="group"></span>

Include the following dependency groups.

**Default value**: `None`

    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    group = ["dev", "docs"]
    ```

---

#### [`index-strategy`](#pip_index-strategy) {: #pip_index-strategy }
<span id="index-strategy"></span>

The strategy to use when resolving against multiple index URLs.

By default, uv will stop at the first index on which a given package is available, and
limit resolutions to those present on that first index (`first-index`). This prevents
"dependency confusion" attacks, whereby an attacker can upload a malicious package under the
same name to an alternate index.

**Default value**: `"first-index"`

**Possible values**:

- `"first-index"`: Only use results from the first index that returns a match for a given package name
- `"unsafe-first-match"`: Search for every package name across all indexes, exhausting the versions from the first index before moving on to the next
- `"unsafe-best-match"`: Search for every package name across all indexes, preferring the "best" version found. If a package version is in multiple indexes, only look at the entry for the first index

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    index-strategy = "unsafe-best-match"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    index-strategy = "unsafe-best-match"
    ```

---

#### [`index-url`](#pip_index-url) {: #pip_index-url }
<span id="index-url"></span>

The URL of the Python package index (by default: <https://pypi.org/simple>).

Accepts either a repository compliant with [PEP 503](https://peps.python.org/pep-0503/)
(the simple repository API), or a local directory laid out in the same format.

The index provided by this setting is given lower priority than any indexes specified via
[`extra_index_url`](#extra-index-url).

**Default value**: `"https://pypi.org/simple"`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    index-url = "https://test.pypi.org/simple"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    index-url = "https://test.pypi.org/simple"
    ```

---

#### [`keyring-provider`](#pip_keyring-provider) {: #pip_keyring-provider }
<span id="keyring-provider"></span>

Attempt to use `keyring` for authentication for index URLs.

At present, only `--keyring-provider subprocess` is supported, which configures uv to
use the `keyring` CLI to handle authentication.

**Default value**: `disabled`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    keyring-provider = "subprocess"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    keyring-provider = "subprocess"
    ```

---

#### [`link-mode`](#pip_link-mode) {: #pip_link-mode }
<span id="link-mode"></span>

The method to use when installing packages from the global cache.

Defaults to `clone` (also known as Copy-on-Write) on macOS, and `hardlink` on Linux and
Windows.

WARNING: The use of symlink link mode is discouraged, as they create tight coupling between
the cache and the target environment. For example, clearing the cache (`uv cache clear`)
will break all installed packages by way of removing the underlying source files. Use
symlinks with caution.

**Default value**: `"clone" (macOS) or "hardlink" (Linux, Windows)`

**Possible values**:

- `"clone"`: Clone (i.e., copy-on-write) packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory
- `"copy"`: Copy packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory
- `"hardlink"`: Hard link packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory
- `"symlink"`: Symbolically link packages from the wheel into the `site-packages` directory

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    link-mode = "copy"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    link-mode = "copy"
    ```

---

#### [`no-annotate`](#pip_no-annotate) {: #pip_no-annotate }
<span id="no-annotate"></span>

Exclude comment annotations indicating the source of each package from the output file
generated by `uv pip compile`.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-annotate = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-annotate = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-binary`](#pip_no-binary) {: #pip_no-binary }
<span id="no-binary"></span>

Don't install pre-built wheels.

The given packages will be built and installed from source. The resolver will still use
pre-built wheels to extract package metadata, if available.

Multiple packages may be provided. Disable binaries for all packages with `:all:`.
Clear previously specified packages with `:none:`.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-binary = ["ruff"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-binary = ["ruff"]
    ```

---

#### [`no-build`](#pip_no-build) {: #pip_no-build }
<span id="no-build"></span>

Don't build source distributions.

When enabled, resolving will not run arbitrary Python code. The cached wheels of
already-built source distributions will be reused, but operations that require building
distributions will exit with an error.

Alias for `--only-binary :all:`.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-build = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-build = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-build-isolation`](#pip_no-build-isolation) {: #pip_no-build-isolation }
<span id="no-build-isolation"></span>

Disable isolation when building source distributions.

Assumes that build dependencies specified by [PEP 518](https://peps.python.org/pep-0518/)
are already installed.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-build-isolation = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-build-isolation = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-build-isolation-package`](#pip_no-build-isolation-package) {: #pip_no-build-isolation-package }
<span id="no-build-isolation-package"></span>

Disable isolation when building source distributions for a specific package.

Assumes that the packages' build dependencies specified by [PEP 518](https://peps.python.org/pep-0518/)
are already installed.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-build-isolation-package = ["package1", "package2"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-build-isolation-package = ["package1", "package2"]
    ```

---

#### [`no-deps`](#pip_no-deps) {: #pip_no-deps }
<span id="no-deps"></span>

Ignore package dependencies, instead only add those packages explicitly listed
on the command line to the resulting requirements file.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-deps = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-deps = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-emit-package`](#pip_no-emit-package) {: #pip_no-emit-package }
<span id="no-emit-package"></span>

Specify a package to omit from the output resolution. Its dependencies will still be
included in the resolution. Equivalent to pip-compile's `--unsafe-package` option.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-emit-package = ["ruff"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-emit-package = ["ruff"]
    ```

---

#### [`no-extra`](#pip_no-extra) {: #pip_no-extra }
<span id="no-extra"></span>

Exclude the specified optional dependencies if `all-extras` is supplied.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    all-extras = true
    no-extra = ["dev", "docs"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    all-extras = true
    no-extra = ["dev", "docs"]
    ```

---

#### [`no-header`](#pip_no-header) {: #pip_no-header }
<span id="no-header"></span>

Exclude the comment header at the top of output file generated by `uv pip compile`.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-header = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-header = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-index`](#pip_no-index) {: #pip_no-index }
<span id="no-index"></span>

Ignore all registry indexes (e.g., PyPI), instead relying on direct URL dependencies and
those provided via `--find-links`.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-index = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-index = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-sources`](#pip_no-sources) {: #pip_no-sources }
<span id="no-sources"></span>

Ignore the `tool.uv.sources` table when resolving dependencies. Used to lock against the
standards-compliant, publishable package metadata, as opposed to using any local or Git
sources.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-sources = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-sources = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-strip-extras`](#pip_no-strip-extras) {: #pip_no-strip-extras }
<span id="no-strip-extras"></span>

Include extras in the output file.

By default, uv strips extras, as any packages pulled in by the extras are already included
as dependencies in the output file directly. Further, output files generated with
`--no-strip-extras` cannot be used as constraints files in `install` and `sync` invocations.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-strip-extras = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-strip-extras = true
    ```

---

#### [`no-strip-markers`](#pip_no-strip-markers) {: #pip_no-strip-markers }
<span id="no-strip-markers"></span>

Include environment markers in the output file generated by `uv pip compile`.

By default, uv strips environment markers, as the resolution generated by `compile` is
only guaranteed to be correct for the target environment.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    no-strip-markers = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    no-strip-markers = true
    ```

---

#### [`only-binary`](#pip_only-binary) {: #pip_only-binary }
<span id="only-binary"></span>

Only use pre-built wheels; don't build source distributions.

When enabled, resolving will not run code from the given packages. The cached wheels of already-built
source distributions will be reused, but operations that require building distributions will
exit with an error.

Multiple packages may be provided. Disable binaries for all packages with `:all:`.
Clear previously specified packages with `:none:`.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    only-binary = ["ruff"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    only-binary = ["ruff"]
    ```

---

#### [`output-file`](#pip_output-file) {: #pip_output-file }
<span id="output-file"></span>

Write the requirements generated by `uv pip compile` to the given `requirements.txt` file.

If the file already exists, the existing versions will be preferred when resolving
dependencies, unless `--upgrade` is also specified.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    output-file = "requirements.txt"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    output-file = "requirements.txt"
    ```

---

#### [`prefix`](#pip_prefix) {: #pip_prefix }
<span id="prefix"></span>

Install packages into `lib`, `bin`, and other top-level folders under the specified
directory, as if a virtual environment were present at that location.

In general, prefer the use of `--python` to install into an alternate environment, as
scripts and other artifacts installed via `--prefix` will reference the installing
interpreter, rather than any interpreter added to the `--prefix` directory, rendering them
non-portable.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    prefix = "./prefix"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    prefix = "./prefix"
    ```

---

#### [`prerelease`](#pip_prerelease) {: #pip_prerelease }
<span id="prerelease"></span>

The strategy to use when considering pre-release versions.

By default, uv will accept pre-releases for packages that _only_ publish pre-releases,
along with first-party requirements that contain an explicit pre-release marker in the
declared specifiers (`if-necessary-or-explicit`).

**Default value**: `"if-necessary-or-explicit"`

**Possible values**:

- `"disallow"`: Disallow all pre-release versions
- `"allow"`: Allow all pre-release versions
- `"if-necessary"`: Allow pre-release versions if all versions of a package are pre-release
- `"explicit"`: Allow pre-release versions for first-party packages with explicit pre-release markers in their version requirements
- `"if-necessary-or-explicit"`: Allow pre-release versions if all versions of a package are pre-release, or if the package has an explicit pre-release marker in its version requirements

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    prerelease = "allow"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    prerelease = "allow"
    ```

---

#### [`python`](#pip_python) {: #pip_python }
<span id="python"></span>

The Python interpreter into which packages should be installed.

By default, uv installs into the virtual environment in the current working directory or
any parent directory. The `--python` option allows you to specify a different interpreter,
which is intended for use in continuous integration (CI) environments or other automated
workflows.

Supported formats:
- `3.10` looks for an installed Python 3.10 in the registry on Windows (see
  `py --list-paths`), or `python3.10` on Linux and macOS.
- `python3.10` or `python.exe` looks for a binary with the given name in `PATH`.
- `/home/ferris/.local/bin/python3.10` uses the exact Python at the given path.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    python = "3.10"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    python = "3.10"
    ```

---

#### [`python-platform`](#pip_python-platform) {: #pip_python-platform }
<span id="python-platform"></span>

The platform for which requirements should be resolved.

Represented as a "target triple", a string that describes the target platform in terms of
its CPU, vendor, and operating system name, like `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` or
`aarch64-apple-darwin`.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    python-platform = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    python-platform = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
    ```

---

#### [`python-version`](#pip_python-version) {: #pip_python-version }
<span id="python-version"></span>

The minimum Python version that should be supported by the resolved requirements (e.g.,
`3.8` or `3.8.17`).

If a patch version is omitted, the minimum patch version is assumed. For example, `3.8` is
mapped to `3.8.0`.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    python-version = "3.8"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    python-version = "3.8"
    ```

---

#### [`reinstall`](#pip_reinstall) {: #pip_reinstall }
<span id="reinstall"></span>

Reinstall all packages, regardless of whether they're already installed. Implies `refresh`.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    reinstall = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    reinstall = true
    ```

---

#### [`reinstall-package`](#pip_reinstall-package) {: #pip_reinstall-package }
<span id="reinstall-package"></span>

Reinstall a specific package, regardless of whether it's already installed. Implies
`refresh-package`.

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    reinstall-package = ["ruff"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    reinstall-package = ["ruff"]
    ```

---

#### [`require-hashes`](#pip_require-hashes) {: #pip_require-hashes }
<span id="require-hashes"></span>

Require a matching hash for each requirement.

Hash-checking mode is all or nothing. If enabled, _all_ requirements must be provided
with a corresponding hash or set of hashes. Additionally, if enabled, _all_ requirements
must either be pinned to exact versions (e.g., `==1.0.0`), or be specified via direct URL.

Hash-checking mode introduces a number of additional constraints:

- Git dependencies are not supported.
- Editable installations are not supported.
- Local dependencies are not supported, unless they point to a specific wheel (`.whl`) or
  source archive (`.zip`, `.tar.gz`), as opposed to a directory.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    require-hashes = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    require-hashes = true
    ```

---

#### [`resolution`](#pip_resolution) {: #pip_resolution }
<span id="resolution"></span>

The strategy to use when selecting between the different compatible versions for a given
package requirement.

By default, uv will use the latest compatible version of each package (`highest`).

**Default value**: `"highest"`

**Possible values**:

- `"highest"`: Resolve the highest compatible version of each package
- `"lowest"`: Resolve the lowest compatible version of each package
- `"lowest-direct"`: Resolve the lowest compatible version of any direct dependencies, and the highest compatible version of any transitive dependencies

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    resolution = "lowest-direct"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    resolution = "lowest-direct"
    ```

---

#### [`strict`](#pip_strict) {: #pip_strict }
<span id="strict"></span>

Validate the Python environment, to detect packages with missing dependencies and other
issues.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    strict = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    strict = true
    ```

---

#### [`system`](#pip_system) {: #pip_system }
<span id="system"></span>

Install packages into the system Python environment.

By default, uv installs into the virtual environment in the current working directory or
any parent directory. The `--system` option instructs uv to instead use the first Python
found in the system `PATH`.

WARNING: `--system` is intended for use in continuous integration (CI) environments and
should be used with caution, as it can modify the system Python installation.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    system = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    system = true
    ```

---

#### [`target`](#pip_target) {: #pip_target }
<span id="target"></span>

Install packages into the specified directory, rather than into the virtual or system Python
environment. The packages will be installed at the top-level of the directory.

**Default value**: `None`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    target = "./target"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    target = "./target"
    ```

---

#### [`torch-backend`](#pip_torch-backend) {: #pip_torch-backend }
<span id="torch-backend"></span>

The backend to use when fetching packages in the PyTorch ecosystem.

When set, uv will ignore the configured index URLs for packages in the PyTorch ecosystem,
and will instead use the defined backend.

For example, when set to `cpu`, uv will use the CPU-only PyTorch index; when set to `cu126`,
uv will use the PyTorch index for CUDA 12.6.

The `auto` mode will attempt to detect the appropriate PyTorch index based on the currently
installed CUDA drivers.

This option is in preview and may change in any future release.

**Default value**: `null`

**Type**: `str`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    torch-backend = "auto"
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    torch-backend = "auto"
    ```

---

#### [`universal`](#pip_universal) {: #pip_universal }
<span id="universal"></span>

Perform a universal resolution, attempting to generate a single `requirements.txt` output
file that is compatible with all operating systems, architectures, and Python
implementations.

In universal mode, the current Python version (or user-provided `--python-version`) will be
treated as a lower bound. For example, `--universal --python-version 3.7` would produce a
universal resolution for Python 3.7 and later.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    universal = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    universal = true
    ```

---

#### [`upgrade`](#pip_upgrade) {: #pip_upgrade }
<span id="upgrade"></span>

Allow package upgrades, ignoring pinned versions in any existing output file.

**Default value**: `false`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    upgrade = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    upgrade = true
    ```

---

#### [`upgrade-package`](#pip_upgrade-package) {: #pip_upgrade-package }
<span id="upgrade-package"></span>

Allow upgrades for a specific package, ignoring pinned versions in any existing output
file.

Accepts both standalone package names (`ruff`) and version specifiers (`ruff<0.5.0`).

**Default value**: `[]`

**Type**: `list[str]`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    upgrade-package = ["ruff"]
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    upgrade-package = ["ruff"]
    ```

---

#### [`verify-hashes`](#pip_verify-hashes) {: #pip_verify-hashes }
<span id="verify-hashes"></span>

Validate any hashes provided in the requirements file.

Unlike `--require-hashes`, `--verify-hashes` does not require that all requirements have
hashes; instead, it will limit itself to verifying the hashes of those requirements that do
include them.

**Default value**: `true`

**Type**: `bool`

**Example usage**:

=== "pyproject.toml"

    ```toml
    [tool.uv.pip]
    verify-hashes = true
    ```
=== "uv.toml"

    ```toml
    [pip]
    verify-hashes = true
    ```
