Installing Pytorch

1

So i’m really new to Pytorch, and I’ve been having issues with installing pytorch nonstop. It keeps telling me that it couldn’t find a version that satisified the requirement torch, if anyone has any idea to fix, feel free to dm me on discord Joycebartfrank#3470

@frankvanpaassen Maybe you are trying to installing a Pytorch version that doesn’t exist for example 1.55.4.1. You can check Previous PyTorch Versions | PyTorch for list of all pytorch versions and respective torchtext and torchvision libaries.

When I type pip install pytorch, i dont specific a version, so I can’t imagine that the version would be the issue…

pip install pytorch is wrong, so copy/paste the commands from the install instructions e.g.:

pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio
# or 
pip3 install torch==1.10.2+cu113 torchvision==0.11.3+cu113 torchaudio==0.10.2+cu113 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113/torch_stable.html

See i did that, then it gives me errors again, first it gives me a warning saying that there is a missing-index-doctype, then it tells me there is a problematic url, and that it is unable to find a version that satisifies the requirement torch=1.10.2+cu113

Maybe you would need to update pip or are using an unsupported Python version?
The cmd works for me:

pip install torch==1.10.2+cu113 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113/torch_stable.html

This was the error I just got with that same command, my pip is updated, and I have the most recent version of Python, and ideas? Btw, I slightly changed the links in this comment due to restrictions from pytorch forums for me, however I assure you they were the same links as you gave me.

Were you able to check your Python version and verify that the pip wheels are actually built for it?

9

how do I verify that?? If you can please give me steps that would be awesome!

Just run python in your terminal and check the Pyhton version:

python
Python 3.8.12 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Oct 12 2021, 21:59:51) 
[GCC 9.4.0] on linux

Alternatively, python --version would also work.
Make sure you are using 3.6 to 3.9.

EDIT: small correction: even though the Python 3.6 wheels are built, I would recommend to update as Python 3.6’s EOL is reached as of Dec 2021.

my python version is 3.10.2, do i have do downgrade?

12

Yes, you would have to downgrade to 3.9 or try to build from source (if 3.10 is fully supported by now).

13

how would i go about downgrading? do i just install python 3.9 and that’s it? and then just add to path?
edit: Thank you so much, after having downgraded python it worked, if only I knew before, but thank you so much man… real lifesaver.
