Our environment is cuda11.8+torch2.6.0.
git clone https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR.git
conda create -n deepseek-ocr python=3.12.9 -y
conda activate deepseek-ocr
pip install torch==2.6.0 torchvision==0.21.0 torchaudio==2.6.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
pip install vllm-0.8.5+cu118-cp38-abi3-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install flash-attn==2.7.3 --no-build-isolation
Note: if you want vLLM and transformers codes to run in the same environment, you don't need to worry about this installation error like: vllm 0.8.5+cu118 requires transformers>=4.51.1
Note: change the INPUT_PATH/OUTPUT_PATH and other settings in the DeepSeek-OCR-master/DeepSeek-OCR-vllm/config.py

[2025/10/23] The version of upstream vLLM:
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# Until v0.11.1 release, you need to install vLLM from nightly build
uv pip install -U vllm --pre --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly

or you can
cd DeepSeek-OCR-master/DeepSeek-OCR-hf
python run_dpsk_ocr.py
The current open-source model supports the following modes:
# document: <image>\n<|grounding|>Convert the document to markdown.
# other image: <image>\n<|grounding|>OCR this image.
# without layouts: <image>\nFree OCR.
# figures in document: <image>\nParse the figure.
# general: <image>\nDescribe this image in detail.
# rec: <image>\nLocate <|ref|>xxxx<|/ref|> in the image.
