Installing PyTorch on your Windows 11 system using Anaconda

Here’s how you can install PyTorch on your Windows 11 system using Anaconda:

Step-by-Step Guide for Windows 11:

1. Open Anaconda Prompt:
   • Go to the Start menu, search for "Anaconda Prompt," and open it.
2. Activate Your Conda Environment:
   • If you’ve already created the environment python3d, activate it by typing:
     conda activate python3d
   • If the environment is not created, create it with:
     conda create -n python3d python=3.7 conda activate python3d
3. Install PyTorch:
   • In the Anaconda Prompt, type the following command to install PyTorch with CUDA 11.1 (if you have a compatible GPU and want to use CUDA):
     conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia
   • If you do not have a CUDA-capable GPU or don’t need GPU support, you can install PyTorch without CUDA by using this command:
     conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cpuonly -c pytorch

Notes:

• CUDA Compatibility: Ensure that your GPU is compatible with CUDA 11.1 if you choose to install the CUDA version. Otherwise, it’s safer to install the CPU-only version.
• Automatic Resolution: Conda automatically resolves and installs the correct version of PyTorch and its dependencies for your system.

Verifying the Installation:

After the installation is complete, you can verify that PyTorch is installed correctly by running the following in the Anaconda Prompt:

python -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"

This command should print the version of PyTorch that you installed.
