title: Computer UI
---
The computer module includes a Gradio UI for creating and sharing demonstration data. We make it easy for people to build community datasets for better computer use models with an upload to Huggingface feature.
```bash
# Install with UI support
pip install "cua-computer[ui]"
```
<Callout title="Note">
For precise control of the computer, we recommend using VNC or Screen Sharing instead of the Computer Gradio UI.

### Building and Sharing Demonstrations with Huggingface
Follow these steps to contribute your own demonstrations:
#### 1. Set up Huggingface Access
Set your HF_TOKEN in a .env file or in your environment variables:
```bash
# In .env file
HF_TOKEN=your_huggingface_token
```
#### 2. Launch the Computer UI
```python
# launch_ui.py
from computer.ui.gradio.app import create_gradio_ui
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv('.env')
app = create_gradio_ui()
app.launch(share=False)
```
For examples, see [Computer UI Examples](https://github.com/trycua/cua/tree/main/examples/computer_ui_examples.py)
#### 3. Record Your Tasks

</details>
Record yourself performing various computer tasks using the UI.
#### 4. Save Your Demonstrations

</details>
Save each task by picking a descriptive name and adding relevant tags (e.g., "office", "web-browsing", "coding").
#### 5. Record Additional Demonstrations
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have a good amount of demonstrations covering different tasks and scenarios.
#### 6. Upload to Huggingface

Upload your dataset to Huggingface by:
- Naming it as `{your_username}/{dataset_name}`
- Choosing public or private visibility
- Optionally selecting specific tags to upload only tasks with certain tags
