In this article, we have explored how to pip install torchvision without upgrading torch.
In short, the solution is to use the following command:
pip install torchvision==0.8.1 --no-deps
Issue
The issue is on installing torchvision, the version of torch is automatically upgraded or downgraded. The command used is:
pip install torchvision
OR, with a specific version of torchvision:
pip install torchvision==0.8.1
This will trigger "pip install torch" as torch is a dependency of torchvision. This can be an issue if your torch environment is a custom torch build. It can be replaced by the pip installed torch.
Solution
The solution is to install torchvision with no-deps option so that no other dependencies are installed automatically.
pip install torchvision==0.8.1 --no-deps
Another option is to build torchvision from source. Get the source code of torchvision using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/vision
