Answer 1

You're installing an old package named pytorch on PyPI ie pytorch 0.1.2. That's why you're receiving the exception.

You're supposed to install it from the pytorch website . There you'll an option to select your system configuration, it'll give you the command to install it. Also, the latest version of pytorch is named torch on PyPI. So, just do

pip3 install torch  # or with pip

If it fails due to cache, try with -no-cache-dir option.
