I’m currently trying to install pytorch 1.9.0 on windows 10 through conda on python3 with cuda 11.3

Everything installed but at the end of installation I get these errors:

Preparing transaction: done
Verifying transaction: done
Executing transaction: done
ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(699): An error occurred while installing package ‘conda-forge::cudatoolkit-11.1.1-heb2d755_7’.

I’ve been googling but I couldn’t find issues similar to mine.

Did you resolve it? I have a same problem.

Hi,

I guess you installed the torch in the Windows platform. You can try run the Prompt in the admin mode.

For me this is working.

Open CMD and write - conda create -n somename python = 3.8
Then - activate somename
Then - copy command from this page Start Locally | PyTorch
Then push that command into CMD.

EDIT:
If you dont know your cuda version, then push this command to CMD -
nvcc --version

I was also facing the same issue. It didn’t solve with the conda but worked with the pip command. Here it goes:

pip3 install torch==1.9.0+cu111 torchvision==0.10.0+cu111 torchaudio===0.9.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
