-### Long-tail bundles {#long-tail-bundles}
-
-About 45 provider bundles — including Chroma, Groq, Ollama, Mistral, Qdrant, and others — are distributed in the **`lfx-bundles`** metapackage.
-
-**Already have Langflow installed?** Add just the bundle components:
-
-```bash
-uv pip install lfx-bundles
-```
-
-`langflow` already includes the `lfx` engine as a dependency, so installing `lfx-bundles` alone is enough. The engine discovers the new components automatically on the next restart.
-
-**Starting from scratch with the `lfx` CLI?** Install the engine and all bundles together:
-
-```bash
-uv pip install "lfx[bundles]"
-```
-
-This is for environments where `langflow` is not installed and you only need the `lfx run` CLI to execute flows headlessly.
-
-After installation, restart Langflow and confirm the bundles loaded:
-
-```bash
-lfx extension list
-```
-
-### Graduated partner bundles {#graduated-partner-bundles}
-
-These flagship providers ship as standalone packages and must be installed individually:
-
-| Provider | Package |
-|---|---|
-| OpenAI | `lfx-openai` |
-| Anthropic | `lfx-anthropic` |
-| Amazon | `lfx-amazon` |
-| DataStax | `lfx-datastax` |
-| Cohere | `lfx-cohere` |
-
-For example:
-
-```bash
-uv pip install lfx-openai
-```
-
-After installation, restart Langflow.
-
-### Install without bundles {#engine-only}
-
-To install only the `lfx` execution engine — useful for headless deployments, CI pipelines, or embedding flow execution in another application without the web UI:
-
-```bash
-uv pip install lfx
-```
-
-This gives you the `lfx run` CLI for executing saved flows programmatically.
-To add provider bundles later, see [Long-tail bundles](#long-tail-bundles) or [Graduated partner bundles](#graduated-partner-bundles) above.
+If all else fails, you can always create your own [custom components](/components-custom-components).
