Utilize Docker to execute the `ultralytics` package in an isolated container. By employing the official `ultralytics` image from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics), you can avoid local installation. Below are the commands to get the latest image and execute it:
<a href="https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics"><img src="https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/ultralytics/ultralytics?logo=docker" alt="Docker Pulls"></a>
```bash
# Set image name as a variable
t=ultralytics/ultralytics:latest
# Pull the latest ultralytics image from Docker Hub
sudo docker pull $t
# Run the ultralytics image in a container with GPU support
sudo docker run -it --ipc=host --gpus all $t
```
The above command initializes a Docker container with the latest `ultralytics` image. The `-it` flag assigns a pseudo-TTY and maintains stdin open, enabling you to interact with the container. The `--ipc=host` flag sets the IPC (Inter-Process Communication) namespace to the host, which is essential for sharing memory between processes. The `--gpus all` flag enables access to all available GPUs inside the container, which is crucial for tasks that require GPU computation.
Note: To work with files on your local machine within the container, use Docker volumes for mounting a local directory into the container:
```bash
# Mount local directory to a directory inside the container
sudo docker run -it --ipc=host --gpus all -v /path/on/host:/path/in/container $t
```
Alter `/path/on/host` with the directory path on your local machine, and `/path/in/container` with the desired path inside the Docker container for accessibility.
See the `ultralytics` [requirements.txt](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/requirements.txt) file for a list of dependencies. Note that all examples above install all required dependencies.

## Ultralytics Settings
The Ultralytics library provides a powerful settings management system to enable fine-grained control over your experiments. By making use of the `SettingsManager` housed within the `ultralytics.utils` module, users can readily access and alter their settings. These are stored in a YAML file and can be viewed or modified either directly within the Python environment or via the Command-Line Interface (CLI).
### Inspecting Settings
To gain insight into the current configuration of your settings, you can view them directly:
!!! example "View settings"
=== "Python"
You can use Python to view your settings. Start by importing the `settings` object from the `ultralytics` module. Print and return settings using the following commands:
```python
from ultralytics import settings
# View all settings
print(settings)
# Return a specific setting
value = settings['runs_dir']
```
=== "CLI"
Alternatively, the command-line interface allows you to check your settings with a simple command:
```bash
yolo settings
```
### Modifying Settings
Ultralytics allows users to easily modify their settings. Changes can be performed in the following ways:
!!! example "Update settings"
=== "Python"
Within the Python environment, call the `update` method on the `settings` object to change your settings:
```python
from ultralytics import settings
# Update a setting
settings.update({'runs_dir': '/path/to/runs'})
# Update multiple settings
settings.update({'runs_dir': '/path/to/runs', 'tensorboard': False})
# Reset settings to default values
settings.reset()
```
=== "CLI"
If you prefer using the command-line interface, the following command will allow you to modify your settings:
```bash
# Update a setting
yolo settings runs_dir='/path/to/runs'
# Update multiple settings
yolo settings runs_dir='/path/to/runs' tensorboard=False
# Reset settings to default values
yolo settings reset
```
### Understanding Settings
The table below provides an overview of the settings available for adjustment within Ultralytics. Each setting is outlined along with an example value, the data type, and a brief description.
| Name | Example Value | Data Type | Description |
|--------------------|-----------------------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `settings_version` | `'0.0.4'` | `str` | Ultralytics _settings_ version (different from Ultralytics [pip](https://pypi.org/project/ultralytics/) version) |
| `datasets_dir` | `'/path/to/datasets'` | `str` | The directory where the datasets are stored |
| `weights_dir` | `'/path/to/weights'` | `str` | The directory where the model weights are stored |
| `runs_dir` | `'/path/to/runs'` | `str` | The directory where the experiment runs are stored |
| `uuid` | `'a1b2c3d4'` | `str` | The unique identifier for the current settings |
| `sync` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to sync analytics and crashes to HUB |
| `api_key` | `''` | `str` | Ultralytics HUB [API Key](https://hub.ultralytics.com/settings?tab=api+keys) |
| `clearml` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use ClearML logging |
| `comet` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use [Comet ML](https://bit.ly/yolov8-readme-comet) for experiment tracking and visualization |
| `dvc` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use DVC for version control |
| `hub` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use [Ultralytics HUB](https://hub.ultralytics.com) integration |
| `mlflow` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use MLFlow for experiment tracking |
| `neptune` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use Neptune for experiment tracking |
| `raytune` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use Ray Tune for hyperparameter tuning |
| `tensorboard` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use TensorBoard for visualization |
| `wandb` | `True` | `bool` | Whether to use Weights & Biases logging |
As you navigate through your projects or experiments, be sure to revisit these settings to ensure that they are optimally configured for your needs.
