pip install torch killed at 99% -- Excessive memory usage

Question

This is while I was installing torch on my laptop. It was getting killed continuously so I thought I will check the memory usage. It hanged my laptop, I had to take a picture with my phone.

If you can't see the image below, it shows pip using 5.8 GiB memory out of 7.8 GiB available. That was a sudden spike at 99%.

System Monitor pip memory usage

Remove all your conda environments and clear your `/root` directory where you install packages. — Szymon Maszke, May 26 '20 at 21:51
Don't use `pip`, use `conda` instead, it'll get installed easily. OR you can try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57058641/pip-install-killed-out-of-memory-how-to-get-around-it — kHarshit, May 27 '20 at 12:45

If you are running low on memory you could try with pip install package --no-cache-dir
