When does this happen?

IF RuntimeError during process bootstrapping when using tensor_parallel_size > 1 in vLLM (especially with multiprocessing distributed executor backend).

How others solved it

THEN Set the environment variable VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=fork before launching vLLM, or wrap the vLLM caller code inside an `if __name__ == '__main__':` block to bypass worker process start issues.

export VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=fork
python test.py
