Procedure

Install the PaddlePaddle runtime dependencies.

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel 
python3 -m pip install \
  numpy==2.4.6 \
  protobuf==7.35.0 \
  opt_einsum==3.3.0 \
  networkx==3.6.1 \
  Pillow==12.2.0 \
  httpx==0.28.1 \
  safetensors==0.7.0 \
  typing_extensions==4.15.0

Install the GPU wheel built from the source code. The following example assumes that the wheel file is stored in the current directory.
1 2
python3 -m pip install --no-deps \ ./paddlepaddle_gpu-3.3.0.dev20260319-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl

Check the import, version, and CUDA compilation capabilities.

python3 - <<'PY'
import sysconfig 
import paddle  

print("soabi", sysconfig.get_config_var("SOABI")) 
print("paddle_version", paddle.__version__) 
print("compiled_with_cuda", paddle.device.is_compiled_with_cuda()) 
PY

The expected output is as follows.

soabi cpython-311-aarch64-linux-gnu 
paddle_version 3.3.0.dev20260319 
compiled_with_cuda True
