# Train agent policies with rLLM reinforcement learning

Use rLLM to evaluate, trace, reward, and train LLM agents with reinforcement learning across common agent frameworks.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.11 or newer, rLLM, agent code or benchmark task, reward/evaluator function, optional Tinker or verl training backend

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- uv pip install "rllm @ git+https://github.com/rllm-org/rllm.git"
- uv pip install rllm[verl] @ git+https://github.com/rllm-org/rllm.git

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- rLLM requires Python >= 3.11. You can install it either directly via pip or build from source.
- For building from source or Docker, see the [installation guide](https://docs.rllm-project.com/installation).
- ### Option B: Python API

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- bash
- this installs dependencies for running rllm cli, which uses Tinker as the training backend.
- To use verl as the training backend (GPU machine required), install via
