pip install works, but pip's dependency management doesn't seem to (for Pytorch, specifically) which is why projects that have pip + requirements.txt as one of their installation methods will often have separate pytorch installation instructions when using that method, though if the same project supports conda installation it will be a one-stop-shop installation that way.

That’s interesting — I’ve also had difficulties with PyTorch and dependency resolution, but only on the most recent versions of Python, for some period of time after they’re released. Picking Python 3.9 as a baseline for a project, for example, has been very reliable for PyTorch and all the related tooling.
