PyTorch for Linux

Modern Linux distributions are highly dependent on the installed version of Python. Therefore, before installing PyTorch, we recommend creating a virtual environment using our step-by-step guide Linux system utilities.
Activate the created venv and proceed with the pip3 upgrade:
pip3 install --upgrade pip
Start the PyTorch installation:
pip3 install torch torchvision
If you want to install a specific version of PyTorch, just type the required version number:
pip3 install torch==1.9.0 torchvision==0.10.0
When the installation is finished, let’s check that PyTorch was installed correctly. Open the Python interpreter:
python3
Type these two strings, ending your input with the Enter key:
import torch
print(torch.__version__)
If you get a result like this, it means that PyTorch has been installed correctly:
2.0.1+cu117
