Question

on pytorch, installing on Windows 10, conda and Cuda 9.0.

cmd did not complain when i ran conda install pytorch cuda90 -c pytorch, then when I ran pip3 install torchvision I get this error message.

Anyone got this error?

Answer 1

I tried to use:

pip install torchvision

but it didn't work for me. So, I googled this problem more carefully and found another solution:

pip install --no-deps torchvision

I hope it will be helpful.

Update: I want to add: "--no-deps" means that no dependencies packages will be downloaded.

Answer 2

The windows version of pytorch was never uploaded to PyPi for Windows because of the size limits. So when installing you need to use -f or --force-link to the PyTorch wheel:

pip install torch===1.5.0 torchvision===0.6.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

Answer 3

Fixed it by running the following

pip3 install http://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu90/torch-0.4.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

pip3 install torchvision

This weirdly fixes the problem. No idea why. Next time just try to run everything on pip
