# Installation
vLLM has experimental support for s390x architecture on IBM Z platform. For now, users shall build from the vLLM source to natively run on IBM Z platform.
Currently the CPU implementation for s390x architecture supports FP32 datatype only.
:::{attention}
There are no pre-built wheels or images for this device, so you must build vLLM from source.
:::
## Requirements
- OS: `Linux`
- SDK: `gcc/g++ >= 12.3.0` or later with Command Line Tools
- Instruction Set Architecture (ISA): VXE support is required. Works with Z14 and above.
- Build install python packages: `pyarrow`, `torch` and `torchvision`
## Set up using Python
### Pre-built wheels
### Build wheel from source
Install the following packages from the package manager before building the vLLM. For example on RHEL 9.4:
```console
dnf install -y \
which procps findutils tar vim git gcc g++ make patch make cython zlib-devel \
libjpeg-turbo-devel libtiff-devel libpng-devel libwebp-devel freetype-devel harfbuzz-devel \
openssl-devel openblas openblas-devel wget autoconf automake libtool cmake numactl-devel
```
Install rust>=1.80 which is needed for `outlines-core` and `uvloop` python packages installation.
```console
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y && \
. "$HOME/.cargo/env"
```
Execute the following commands to build and install vLLM from the source.
::::{tip}
Please build the following dependencies, `torchvision`, `pyarrow` from the source before building vLLM.
::::
```console
sed -i '/^torch/d' requirements-build.txt # remove torch from requirements-build.txt since we use nightly builds
pip install -v \
--extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu \
-r requirements-build.txt \
-r requirements-cpu.txt \
VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE=cpu python setup.py bdist_wheel && \
pip install dist/*.whl
```
