In `@docs/source/installation.md`:
- Around line 38-43: Reword the PyTorch/CUDA installation guidance in the
installation section to align with the pip flow: the current text in the PyTorch
install step suggests manually downloading CUDA and setting CUDA_PATH, which is
misleading for prebuilt pip wheels. Update the instructions around the
PyTorch/CUDA step to direct users to the PyTorch CUDA selector or wheel index,
and make clear that the pip wheels already bundle the CUDA runtime; keep the
surrounding MONAI install guidance in the same place.
- Around line 50-60: Clarify the CuPy dependency chain in the installation docs:
the `cucim` extra does not install CuPy directly, it installs
`cucim-cu12`/`cucim-cu13`, which then brings in the matching
`cupy-cuda12x`/`cupy-cuda13x` wheel. Update the wording in the `pip install
'monai[cucim]'` section and the later CuPy note so both references explicitly
describe this transitive dependency, using the existing installation docs text
as the location guide.

💡 Result:
CuPy provides specialized pip packages, known as wheels, that are tailored to specific versions of the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. These packages are identified by the naming convention cupy-cudaXXx, where XX corresponds to the major CUDA version [1]. As of August 2026, the official CuPy documentation highlights the following primary support: cupy-cuda12x: This package is used for systems utilizing CUDA Toolkit 12.x [1]. cupy-cuda13x: This package is used for systems utilizing CUDA Toolkit 13.x [1]. The package cupy-cuda11x is referenced in the context of installation options, particularly when installing pre-releases or managing environments where older CUDA versions might still be relevant [1]. Important guidelines for installation include: Compatibility: You should only have one CuPy package installed at a time. The cupy-cudaXXx wheels and the source-based cupy package are mutually exclusive and will conflict if installed together [1]. CUDA Toolkit Dependency: By default, these packages assume a compatible CUDA Toolkit is already installed on your system [1]. Standalone Option: To install CuPy without a system-wide CUDA Toolkit installation, you can use the [ctk] extra (e.g., pip install cupy-cuda12x[ctk]). This installs the necessary NVIDIA CUDA component wheels, which requires only the NVIDIA CUDA driver to be present on the system [1].

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.cupy.dev/en/stable/install.html "cupy-cuda11x" "CuPy v13"
💡 Result:
CuPy v13 does not provide a specific cupy-cuda11x package for installation. According to the official CuPy documentation, the current supported CUDA Toolkit versions for recent releases include v12.x and v13.x, with corresponding installation commands such as pip install cupy-cuda12x and pip install cupy-cuda13x [1]. The reference to cupy-cuda11x in the documentation is limited to an example of how to append pre-release installation options (e.g., pip install cupy-cuda11x --pre -U -f https://pip.cupy.dev/pre), rather than indicating active support for CUDA 11 within the v13 series [1]. Users requiring support for older CUDA versions are typically directed to use earlier versions of CuPy that were compatible with those environments [1].

The current CuPy guide supports cupy-cuda12x and cupy-cuda13x. It mentions cupy-cuda11x only for pre-release or older CuPy installations.

Hi @Shizoqua please do look at the Coderabbit comments, they are relevant I think. Note that we have also updated the pyproject.toml file recently, CuPy isn't installed through the cucim extra now since it's not associated exclusively with it. Thanks! |

@ericspod Thanks for the nudge. I've rebased onto the latest dev so the branch is current. The Coderabbit comments from the earlier review have been addressed in commit 15a636b:
Please let me know if any of the Coderabbit items still need adjustment. |

- Update GPU/CUDA step to note that PyTorch wheels bundle the CUDA runtime and do not require manual CUDA download or CUDA_PATH. - Replace the statement that CuPy is installed via the cucim extra; CuPy is now installed via the dedicated monai[cupy] extra. The cucim extra only installs cuCIM. - Update CuPy example versions to cupy-cuda13x for CUDA 13.x. - Quote .[all,testing] in editable-install example. - Fix --no-build-isoloation typo.

Fixes #8106
Description
The installation docs did not make it clear that some MONAI transforms require CuPy for GPU-accelerated array operations. Users who ran GPU inference hit
OptionalImportError: import cupy (No module named 'cupy')with no obvious guidance —pip install cupyfails because the real package is CUDA-version specific (cupy-cuda12x), and it was not documented that thecucimextra provides CuPy.This PR updates
docs/source/installation.mdto:## GPU-enabled installation (CUDA and CuPy)section (with a Table of Contents entry) instead of an unlabeled paragraph.convert_to_cupy), what error appears when it is missing, and that CuPy is installed through thecucimextra (pip install 'monai[cucim]').cupy-cuda12x/cupy-cuda11x), linking to the CuPy installation guide.Docs-only change; no code or public API is modified.
