Pytorch with correct CUDA

a.li: <p>I am fairly new to CUDA, and I have been trying to get pytorch to work. So far all my attempts have resulted with torch.cuda.is_available() and torch.version.cuda outputting False and None, respectively.</p>

<p>I have tried installing pytorch for CUDA 10.0 and 10.2 from <a href="https://pytorch.org/get-started/previous-versions/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Previous PyTorch Versions | PyTorch</a>, using both conda and pip. None of them worked.</p>
<p>I’m in a conda environment but I’m also not entirely sure which version of python would be compatible with the pytorch I need for the CUDA versions I have.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’m making a novice mistake, but I’d appreciate all the help, thank you.</p>

ptrblck: <p>Your locally installed CUDA toolkit won’t be used unless you build PyTorch from source or a custom CUDA extension. Install a recent NVIDIA driver and the PyTorch binaries afterwards and it should work.</p>
