I just want to install pytorch, I ran this in the terminal:

pip install torch

And it displays:

Collecting torch
Killed

What is the problem?

It says your your free ram is not enough to install the package, but there is a method that you can still use it.

pip install torch --no-cache-dir

    Any hints as to the rationale why ignoring the cache reduces memory usage? Naively, I would assume that the cache only controls whether you have to download the package first – Ted Brownlow Mar 02 '23 at 17:59
  • @TedBrownlow, not to store the downloaded files locally as you may not have enough memory on the device; also [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/45594808) has different explanations. – nbs Mar 08 '23 at 17:50

    Aren't those points about storage rather than RAM? – Ted Brownlow Mar 08 '23 at 17:58

Since your free RAM is not enough try to install it after a reboot.
