### Python 3.13 support
??? question "Is Python 3.13 supported?"
Full support for Python 3.13 is currently waiting for [pytorch](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch).
### Is Python 3.13 supported?
At the moment, no release has full support, but nightly builds are available. Docling was tested on Python 3.13 with the following steps:
Full support for Python 3.13 is currently waiting for [pytorch](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch).
```sh
# Create a python 3.13 virtualenv
python3.13 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
At the moment, no release has full support, but nightly builds are available. Docling was tested on Python 3.13 with the following steps:
# Install torch nightly builds, see https://pytorch.org/
pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu
```sh
# Create a python 3.13 virtualenv
python3.13 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
# Install docling
pip3 install docling
# Install torch nightly builds, see https://pytorch.org/
pip3 install --pre torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu
# Run docling
docling --no-ocr https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.09869
```
# Install docling
pip3 install docling
_Note: we are disabling OCR since easyocr and the nightly torch builds have some conflicts._
# Run docling
docling --no-ocr https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.09869

### Install conflicts with numpy (python 3.13)
??? question "Install conflicts with numpy (python 3.13)"
### Install conflicts with numpy (python 3.13)
When using `docling-ibm-models>=2.0.7` and `deepsearch-glm>=0.26.2` these issues should not show up anymore.
Docling supports numpy versions `>=1.24.4,<3.0.0` which should match all usages.
**For older versions**
This has been observed installing docling and langchain via poetry.
```
...
Thus, docling (>=2.7.0,<3.0.0) requires numpy (>=1.26.4,<2.0.0).
So, because ... depends on both numpy (>=2.0.2,<3.0.0) and docling (^2.7.0), version solving failed.
```
Numpy is only adding Python 3.13 support starting in some 2.x.y version. In order to prepare for 3.13, Docling depends on a 2.x.y for 3.13, otherwise depending an 1.x.y version. If you are allowing 3.13 in your pyproject.toml, Poetry will try to find some way to reconcile Docling's numpy version for 3.13 (some 2.x.y) with LangChain's version for that (some 1.x.y) — leading to the error above.
Check if Python 3.13 is among the Python versions allowed by your pyproject.toml and if so, remove it and try again.
E.g., if you have python = "^3.10", use python = ">=3.10,<3.13" instead.
If you want to retain compatibility with python 3.9-3.13, you can also use a selector in pyproject.toml similar to the following
```toml
numpy = [
{ version = "^2.1.0", markers = 'python_version >= "3.13"' },
{ version = "^1.24.4", markers = 'python_version < "3.13"' },
]
```

Currently text styles are not supported in the `DoclingDocument` format.
If you are interest in contributing this feature, please open a discussion topic to brainstorm on the design.

??? question "How do I run completely offline?"
### How do I run completely offline?
Docling is not using any remote service, hence it can run in completely isolated air-gapped environments.
The only requirement is pointing the Docling runtime to the location where the model artifacts have been stored.
For example
```py
pipeline_options = PdfPipelineOptions(artifacts_path="your location")
converter = DocumentConverter(
format_options={
InputFormat.PDF: PdfFormatOption(pipeline_options=pipeline_options)
}
)
```

### GPU support
??? question " Which model weights are needed to run Docling?"
### Which model weights are needed to run Docling?
TBA
Model weights are needed for the AI models used in the PDF pipeline. Other document types (docx, pptx, etc) do not have any such requirement.
For processing PDF documents, Docling requires the model weights from <https://huggingface.co/ds4sd/docling-models>.
When OCR is enabled, some engines also require model artifacts. For example EasyOCR, for which Docling has [special pipeline options](https://github.com/DS4SD/docling/blob/main/docling/datamodel/pipeline_options.py#L68) to control the runtime behavior.
### Text styles (bold, underline, etc)
??? question "SSL error downloading model weights"
TBA
### SSL error downloading model weights
```
URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)>
```
Similar SSL download errors have been observed by some users. This happens when model weights are fetched from Hugging Face.
The error could happen when the python environment doesn't have an up-to-date list of trusted certificates.
Possible solutions were
- Update to the latest version of [certifi](https://pypi.org/project/certifi/), i.e. `pip install --upgrade certifi`
- Use [pip-system-certs](https://pypi.org/project/pip-system-certs/) to use the latest trusted certificates on your system.
### How do I run completely offline?
??? question "Which OCR languages are supported?"
Docling is not using any remote service, hence it can run in completely isolated air-gapped environments.
### Which OCR languages are supported?
The only requirement is pointing the Docling runtime to the location where the model artifacts have been stored.
Docling supports multiple OCR engine, each one has its own list of supported languages.
Here is a collection of links to the original OCR engine's documentation listing the OCR languages.
For example
- [EasyOCR](https://www.jaided.ai/easyocr/)
- [Tesseract](https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Data-Files-in-different-versions.html)
- [RapidOCR](https://rapidai.github.io/RapidOCRDocs/blog/2022/09/28/%E6%94%AF%E6%8C%81%E8%AF%86%E5%88%AB%E8%AF%AD%E8%A8%80/)
- [Mac OCR](https://github.com/straussmaximilian/ocrmac/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#example-select-language-preference)
```py
Setting the OCR language in Docling is done via the OCR pipeline options:
pipeline_options = PdfPipelineOptions(artifacts_path="your location")
converter = DocumentConverter(
format_options={
InputFormat.PDF: PdfFormatOption(pipeline_options=pipeline_options)
}
)
```
```py
from docling.datamodel.pipeline_options import PdfPipelineOptions
