Hi, I’m trying to run whisper on Raspbian buster. There are apparently no wheels available for this platform (arm7l). I compiled pytorch from source, but I realised my version (1.0.0) is quite old, so now compiling from the 1.7 branch
The error message from the earlier attempt was:
$ pip install torch===1.0.0 git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch===1.0.0 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch===1.0.0
I get much the same error if I don’t specify the version.
I ran the setup.py script after building pytorch and it’s imported by python (3.9) when run interactively.
My questions are:
- how can I get the installer to tell me which version it does want?
- is it finding any version at all?
- are there similar version requirements for torchvision, torchaudio, etc?
- what branch should I be using, 1.7 or master?
I realise this is a lot of questions, but really I’d just be grateful for any info anyone can provide to help me get whisper running on the R-pi. 
EDIT: This thread might help me, but I’d still appreciate any other advice.
