# 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 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12
- **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 will be removed in NeMo Curator 26.06.** Standardize new production environments on a newer supported Python version (3.11+) to avoid a forced upgrade when moving to 26.06. See the [26.04 release notes](/about/release-notes).
</Warning>

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