Issues installing PyTorch on Jetson Nano running JetPack 4.2

AI & Data Science Deep Learning (Training & Inference) Frameworks
#1

I’m currently working through the Hello AI World Transfer Learning with PyTorch section and I am having issues installing PyTorch. I have used the automatic installer included as part of the jetson-inference repository and it appears to work correctly however, when I try to verify the installation, as suggested in the guide, by trying to import the torch and torchvision modules in Python I receive errors stating that the modules cannot be found. I have subsequently tried to import the modules manually using pip and I receive the following error:

xxxx@xxxxxxxx:~$ pip install torch

Command “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-Fv1UbD/torch/

Does anyone have a solution?

Hi @boss1944,

Would you like to try my way? Here
As the Jetson deivce is ARM architecture, so sometimes the installing way is a little bit different with PC.

Hi Chieh,

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to resolve this issue myself, I traced the problem to a glitch with the Jetpack image after experiencing various other issues. I reformatted the SD card, flashed the Jetpack image and then rebuilt the jetson-inference project again and all the issues were resolved.
