title: build
---
This reference page provides detailed information about ClearML Agent's `build` subcommand, which you can use to create
a worker environment without executing the experiment.
## Syntax
```bash
clearml-agent build [-h] --id TASK_ID [--target TARGET]
[--install-globally]
[--docker [DOCKER [DOCKER ...]]] [--force-docker]
[--python-version PYTHON_VERSION]
[--entry-point {reuse_task,clone_task}] [-O]
[--git-user GIT_USER] [--git-pass GIT_PASS]
[--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARN,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}]
[--gpus GPUS] [--cpu-only]
```
## Arguments
---
**`id`**
(*mandatory*)
* Build a worker environment for this Task ID.
---
**`cpu-only`**
* Disable GPU access for the Docker container.
---
**`docker`**
* Docker mode. A Docker container that a worker will execute at launch.
To specify the image name and optional arguments, either:
* Use `--docker <image_name> <args>` on the command line, or
* Use `--docker` on the command line, and specify the image name and arguments in the configuration file.
Environment variable settings for Dockers:
* `CLEARML_DOCKER_SKIP_GPUS_FLAG` - Ignore the `gpus` flag inside the Docker container. This also allows you to execute **ClearML Agent** using Docker versions earlier than 19.03.
* `NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` - Limit GPU visibility for the Docker container.
* `CLEARML_AGENT_GIT_USER` and `CLEARML_AGENT_GIT_PASS` - Pass these credentials to the Docker container at execution.
To limit GPU visibility for Docker, set the `NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` environment variable.
---
**`entry-point`**
* Used in conjunction with `--docker`, indicates how to run the Task specified by `task-id` on Docker startup.
The `entry-point` options are:
* `reuse` - Overwrite the existing Task data.
* `clone_task` - Clone the Task, and execute the cloned Task.
---
**`force-docker`**
* Force using the agent-specified docker image (either explicitly in the `--docker` argument or using the agent's
default docker image). If provided, the agent will not use any docker container information stored in the task itself
(default `False`)
---
**`git-pass`**
* Git password for repository access.
---
**`git-user`**
* Git username for repository access.
---
**`gpus`**
* Specify the active GPUs for the Docker containers to use. These are the same GPUs set in the `NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` environment variable.
For example:
* `--gpus 0`
* `--gpu 0,1,2`
* `--gpus all`
---
**`h`, `help`**
* Get help for this command.
---
**`install-globally`**
* Install the required Python packages before creating the virtual environment. Use `agent.package_manager.system_site_packages` to control the installation of the system packages. When `--docker` is used, `install-globally` is always true.
---
**`log-level`**
* SDK log level. The values are:
* `DEBUG`
* `INFO`
* `WARN`
* `WARNING`
* `ERROR`
* `CRITICAL`
---
**`python-version`**
* Virtual environment Python version to use.
---
**`O`**
* Compile optimized pyc code (see python documentation). Repeat for more optimization.
---
**`target`**
* The target folder for the virtual environment and source code that will be used at launch.
