+**Pre-release Python wheels** are published on the NVIDIA package index at [pypi.nvidia.com](https://pypi.nvidia.com/), not on the public [PyPI](https://pypi.org/) index. Like stable wheels, they are **Linux (manylinux) builds** for the Python versions in the [Support Matrix](support-matrix.md); `pip`/`uv` on macOS or Windows will not find matching wheels. Install on a supported Linux host or inside a Linux container.
+
+Install by adding that URL as an extra index and allowing pre-releases (PEP 440 dev versions):
+
+```bash
+# uv (recommended in other Dynamo docs)
+uv pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com/ ai-dynamo==1.1.0.dev2
+
+# pip
+pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com ai-dynamo==1.1.0.dev2
+```
+
+A GitHub or container tag `v1.1.0-dev.N` maps to a wheel version `1.1.0.devN` (for example `v1.1.0-dev.2` → `==1.1.0.dev2`). Optional extras such as `ai-dynamo[vllm]` use the same flags; pin the version you want from the sections below.
