# Deploy NeMo Curator

Use the following Admin guides to set up NeMo Curator in a production environment.

## Prerequisites

Before deploying NeMo Curator in a production environment, review the comprehensive requirements:

* **System**: Ubuntu 22.04/20.04, Python 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13
* **Hardware**: Multi-core CPU, 16GB+ RAM (optional: NVIDIA GPU with 16GB+ VRAM)
* **Software**: Ray (distributed computing framework), container runtime
* **Infrastructure**: High-bandwidth networking, storage for datasets

> **Warning**
>
> **Python 3.10 support was removed in NeMo Curator 26.07.** 26.04 was the last release to support Python 3.10. Standardize production environments on Python 3.11, 3.12, or 3.13. See the [26.07 migration checklist](/about/release-notes/26-07-migration#1-upgrade-python).

For detailed system, hardware, and software requirements, see [Production Deployment Requirements](/admin/deployment/requirements).
