I ran into an issue with this recently when i was making docker containers that included pytorch as a dependency. I had to install pytorch with the CPU only platform before the python module and its requirements file (with pytorch) ran.

@adriaan yep, and usually tell people at work to use conda to install all of that

"It just works" usually, but yeah hopefully you don't need an Nvidia GPU otherwise for what you are doing. As others have noted

@gizmomathboy @adriaan

I'm still rather new to Python. What's the benefit of conda over pip?

@adriaan it's another virtual environment but like over powered

I found it easier to install many projects that ai/ML folks commonly use from conda than pip

I also support hundreds of folks and hundreds of machines so they don't have root and conda sidesteps a lot of that headache. Mostly for me actually.
