don’t bother, it is more likely a filesystem issue: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7032 17

hi,
i’ve been trying to install pytorch 1.2.0 on a server using pip install torch torchvision but i’m getting the error:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 5] Input/output error.

the installation was fine on another server.
i tried installing torch using the wheel torch-1.2.0-cp37-cp37m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl, but get the same error.
i’m suspecting that there is something going on the failed server. (probably the disc, and the size of the package!)
installing other packages (on the failed server) is fine.
any pointers to the cause? thanks
config.:

cuda: 10.0

ubuntu: 16.04.4




the last lines of the log of pip install torch torchvision: any clues? installing numpy works fine but not torch. it seems something to do with writing rights! or packages using wheels?
