+# Nutanix Distribution
+
+The `llamastack/distribution-nutanix` distribution consists of the following provider configurations.
+
+
+| **API**         	| **Inference** 	| **Agents**     	| **Memory**                                       	| **Safety**     	| **Telemetry**  	|
+|-----------------	|---------------	|----------------	|--------------------------------------------------	|----------------	|----------------	|
+| **Provider(s)** 	| remote::nutanix   	| meta-reference 	| meta-reference 	| meta-reference 	| meta-reference 	|
+
+
+### Start the Distribution (Hosted remote)
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This assumes you have an hosted Nutanix AI endpoint and an API Key.
+
+1. Clone the repo
+```
+git clone git@github.com:meta-llama/llama-stack.git
+cd llama-stack
+```
+
+2. Config the model name
+
+Please adjust the `NUTANIX_SUPPORTED_MODELS` variable at line 29 in `llama_stack/providers/adapters/inference/nutanix/nutanix.py` according to your deployment.
+
+3. Build the distrbution
+```
+pip install -e .
+llama stack build --template nutanix --name ntnx --image-type conda
+```
+
+4. Set the endpoint URL and API Key
+```
+llama stack configure ntnx
+```
+
+5. Serve and enjoy!
+```
+llama stack run ntnx --port 174
+```
