Documentation

See below for a quickstart installation and usage example, and see the [YOLOv8 Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/) for full documentation on training, validation, prediction and deployment.

Install

Pip install the ultralytics package including all [requirements](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/pyproject.toml) in a [**Python>=3.8**](https://www.python.org/) environment with [**PyTorch>=1.8**](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). [![PyPI - Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/ultralytics?logo=pypi&logoColor=white)](https://pypi.org/project/ultralytics/) [![Downloads](https://static.pepy.tech/badge/ultralytics)](https://pepy.tech/project/ultralytics) [![PyPI - Python Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/ultralytics?logo=python&logoColor=gold)](https://pypi.org/project/ultralytics/) ```bash pip install ultralytics ``` For alternative installation methods including [Conda](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ultralytics), [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics), and Git, please refer to the [Quickstart Guide](https://docs.ultralytics.com/quickstart/).

Usage

### CLI YOLOv8 may be used directly in the Command Line Interface (CLI) with a `yolo` command: ```bash yolo predict model=yolov8n.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg' ``` `yolo` can be used for a variety of tasks and modes and accepts additional arguments, i.e. `imgsz=640`. See the YOLOv8 [CLI Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cli/) for examples. ### Python YOLOv8 may also be used directly in a Python environment, and accepts the same [arguments](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cfg/) as in the CLI example above: ```python from ultralytics import YOLO # Load a model model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt") # Train the model train_results = model.train( data="coco8.yaml", # path to dataset YAML epochs=100, # number of training epochs imgsz=640, # training image size device="cpu", # device to run on, i.e. device=0 or device=0,1,2,3 or device=cpu ) # Evaluate model performance on the validation set metrics = model.val() # Perform object detection on an image results = model("path/to/image.jpg") results[0].show() # Export the model to ONNX format path = model.export(format="onnx") # return path to exported model ``` See YOLOv8 [Python Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/python/) for more examples.

### Notebooks Ultralytics provides interactive notebooks for YOLOv8, covering training, validation, tracking, and more. Each notebook is paired with a [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/ultralytics?sub_confirmation=1) tutorial, making it easy to learn and implement advanced YOLOv8 features. | Docs | Notebook | YouTube | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | YOLOv8 Train, Val, Predict and Export Modes |
