# Preparing the Environment Before running, we need to set up the environment for LightX2V. ## Method 1: Linux + Docker Environment We highly recommend running LightX2V in a Docker environment. This ensures consistency with our runtime environment and minimizes potential issues. Refer to the [quickstart guide](https://lightx2v-en.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/quickstart.html). The Docker image we provide already includes all necessary dependencies. ## Method 2: Linux + Manual Setup Coming soon ## Method 3: Windows + WSL2 Coming soon ## Method 4: Windows + Installer Coming soon
