UnsatisfiableError when installing specific versions of pytorch and cudatoolkit

Hi,

I would like to install pytorch version 0.4.1 with cuda 8.0 with python 3.6.
When I run conda info pytorch, there is one block as follows:

pytorch 0.4.1 py36_cuda8.0.61_cudnn7.1.2_1
------------------------------------------
file name   : pytorch-0.4.1-py36_cuda8.0.61_cudnn7.1.2_1.tar.bz2

dependencies:
    cffi
    cudatoolkit 8.*
    mkl >=2018
    ninja
    numpy >=1.11
    python >=3.6,<3.7.0a0

However, when I run conda install -c pytorch pytorch=0.4.1 cudatoolkit=8 I got the following error:

Solving environment: failed

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - cudatoolkit=8
  - pytorch=0.4.1
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

Additional information:
when I run conda search pytorch=0.4.1, I got

pytorch                   0.4.1  py37ha74772b_0  pkgs/main

But running conda install -c pytorch pytorch=0.4.1=py36_cuda8.0.61_cudnn7.1.2_1 yields PackageNotFoundError, while conda install -c pytorch pytorch=0.4.1=py36_cuda9.0.176_cudnn7.1.2_1 does not have any problem.

Can anybody help through this?
Many thanks.

as mentioned on the pytorch website, if you want to install with cudatoolkit 8.0, use

conda install pytorch cuda80 -c pytorch

Hi @smth,

I am trying to install PyTorch v0.4.1 with Cuda 10 on Ubuntu 18.04 for Python 3.6. I am building it from source and getting the following message. Is there any solution that you know? I would really appreciate your response. Thanks
