Contributing to Gradio
Prequisites:
- Python 3.7+
- Node 16.0+ (optional for backend-only changes, but needed for any frontend changes)
- pnpm version 6.x
More than 30 awesome developers have contributed to the gradio
library, and we'd be thrilled if you would like be the next gradio
contributor! You can start by forking or cloning the repo (https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio.git) and creating your own branch to work from.
Install Gradio locally from the main
branch
- Clone this repo
- Navigate to the repo folder and run
bash scripts/install_gradio.sh
- Build the front end
bash scripts/build_frontend.sh
Install development and testing requirements
- Navigate to the repo folder and install test requirements (note that it is highly recommended to use a virtual environment since the versions are pinned)
bash scripts/install_test_requirements.sh
- It is recommended to use Python 3.9 for development. If you have a different Python version and conflicting packages during the installation, you can run
bash scripts/create_test_requirements.sh
bash scripts/install_test_requirements.sh
- You can run gradio scripts in reload mode which will watch for changes in the
gradio
folder and reload the app if changes are made.
gradio app.py
- Run the tests
bash scripts/run_all_tests.sh
- You can also start a local frontend development server (on port 3000 by default) that responds to any changes in the frontend.
bash scripts/run_frontend.sh

: contains the Python source code for the coreInterface
class/gradio/blocks.py
: contains the Python source code for the coreBlocks
class/gradio/components.py

examples over here./website
: contains the code for the Gradio website (www.gradio.app). See the README in the/website

Continuous Integration and Testing
All PRs must pass the continuous integration tests before merging. To test locally, you can run python -m unittest
from the repo directory.
Submitting PRs
All PRs should be against main
. Direct commits to main are blocked, and PRs require an approving review to merge into main. By convention, the Gradio maintainers will review PRs when:
- An initial review has been requested, and
- A maintainer (@abidlabs, @aliabid94, @aliabd, @AK391, @dawoodkhan82, @pngwn, @farukozderim) is tagged in the PR comments and asked to complete a review
We ask that you make sure initial CI checks are passing before requesting a review. One of the Gradio maintainers will merge the PR when all the checks are passing.
Do not forget the format the backend before pushing.
bash scripts/format_backend.sh
bash scripts/format_frontend.sh
You can run the circleci checks locally as well.
bash scripts/run_circleci.sh
