Error with the build wheel

I have no clue what this means but gitcloned one of the Pytorch repositories but then deleted it after it didn’t work. Then I tried this after I couldn’t find any nightly builds that worked with my pi zero 2 W.

The error you’re encountering is due to trying to install a package named pytorch instead of the correct package name, which is torch. Here’s how you can correctly install PyTorch on your Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
Use the correct package name torch instead of pytorch. Additionally, since you’re on a Raspberry Pi, you might need to install a version that’s compatible with your device’s architecture.
Installing PyTorch on a Raspberry Pi can be a bit tricky due to compatibility issues. There are pre-built wheels available for ARM architectures that you can try. First, ensure you have all the necessary dependencies installed. Download the appropriate wheel file for your Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W from the PyTorch ARM build repository.

Pre-built wheels can simplify the installation process. You can also check sites like piwheels for PyTorch wheels tailored for Raspberry Pi devices.

If pre-built wheels are not available or do not work, you can try building PyTorch from source. This is a more advanced and time-consuming process. Detailed instructions can be found in the official PyTorch documentation.
