cannot successfully install "torch-scatter"

I cannot successfully install “torch_scatter”.
When I run the command line : pip3 install torch_scatter, an error always occurs, just like below. I tried to solve the problem, but I don’t find the correct method. Could you help me? Thanks a lot!

The error:

cpu/scatter.cpp:1:29: fatal error: torch/extension.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command ‘x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc’ failed with exit status 1

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 19.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the ‘pip install --upgrade pip’ command.

Hi Guanghui,

did you end up resolving this issue? I’ve been stuck on it for a while, and found no solution…
