torch (version 0.8.1)

install_torch: Install Torch

Description

Installs Torch and its dependencies.

Usage

install_torch(
  version = "1.11.0",
  type = install_type(version = version),
  reinstall = FALSE,
  path = install_path(),
  timeout = 360,
  ...
)

Arguments

version

The Torch version to install.

type

The installation type for Torch. Valid values are "cpu" or the 'CUDA' version.

reinstall

Re-install Torch even if its already installed?

path

Optional path to install or check for an already existing installation.

timeout

Optional timeout in seconds for large file download.

...

other optional arguments (like `load` for manual installation).

Details

When using path to install in a specific location, make sure the TORCH_HOME environment variable is set to this same path to reuse this installation. The TORCH_INSTALL environment variable can be set to 0 to prevent auto-installing torch and TORCH_LOAD set to 0 to avoid loading dependencies automatically. These environment variables are meant for advanced use cases and troubleshooting only. When timeout error occurs during library archive download, or length of downloaded files differ from reported length, an increase of the timeout value should help.

Setting the environmanet variable PRECXX11ABI=1 will trigger the installation of a Pre-cxx11 ABI installation of LibTorch. This can be useful in environments with older versions of GLIBC like CentOS7 and older Debian/Ubuntu versions.
