Trying to install pytorch with cuda in jetson orin NX

So, im trying to install the pytorch with cuda support in my jetson orin NX (dev kit), i already have done a fresh install using the SDK Manager and i have jetpack 6.0, and ubuntu 22.04, i tried to follow the instructions from the nvidia manual, and configured a virtual enviroment: https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/frameworks/install-pytorch-jetson-platform/index.html, the issue is that im getting an error in the pre-requisites installation of the libopenblas-dev like the following: sudo apt-get -y update;
sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip libopenblas-dev;

Besides that i kept following the instructions and successfully installed the torch in the right version as it shows in the pip list, but when i try to import torch in a python program i get the following error: python3

Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I suspect that could be a problem related to the pre-requistes installation error, but as the link gives a 404 error, i dont have a clue on how to solve this.

Hi,

Have you edited the source list?
The below errors should occur when running the sudo apt-get -y update.

Ign:9 https://packagecloud.io/headmelted/codebuilds/debian stretch InRelease
Err:10 https://packagecloud.io/headmelted/codebuilds/debian stretch Release

But it’s not a default path in our JetPack 6.0.
Do you add them manually?

Could you edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the link to see if it helps?

Thanks.

Hi AastaLLL,

Thank you in advance, I discovered that the dep links were from another file within the /etc/apt folder, and most likely because of the VS Code installation I did previously, so when i removed these links the error no longer occurred.

Going further into the torch installation manual again, another error occurs when I try to import the torch library:

from torch._C import * # noqa: F403
ImportError: libcupti.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I suspect that this error ocurred because of the cuda version that i had installed in the jetson which is currently the cuda-12.2. Also looking to the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH which points to the cuda installation folder i found a lot of libcu*.so.12 files but not the libcupti.so.12 file or similar.

Another thing that i would like to ask is about the step showing below from the tutorial, i could not find the llvm-8 directory in usr/lib/.

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-8/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Hi,

Sorry for the late update.
Do you get PyTorch work?

Thanks.

Hi AastaLLL,

Yes, i could make pytorch work just by changing the pytorch version in the virtual enviroment. To help others that can have the same problem as i, here is the specs that i used:

Jetson Orin NX
Jetpack: 6.0 L4T 36.3
CUDA runtime version: 12.2 (Was installed via SDK Manager)
Pytorch version: torch-2.3.0a0+ebedce2.nv24.02-cp310-cp310-linux_aarch64.whl (in a python venv)

To verify if the pytorch is working with CUDA integration, you can use a python file with following code:

import torch
print("CUDA is available: ", torch.cuda.is_available())

Also verifying with the jtop (jtop installation guide https://jetsonhacks.com/2023/02/07/jtop-the-ultimate-tool-for-monitoring-nvidia-jetson-devices/) command in the GPU tab if the gpu resources are being used.

Best Regards,
