ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch' while installing torch-scatter using pip on MacOS

[atharvabagde]

I am unable to install torch-scatter using the following command : pip install torch-scatter -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-2.1.0+cpu.html

Getting the following error:

Let me know if any other details are required

Can you try to install via

git clone https://github.com/rusty1s/pytorch_scatter.git
python setup.py install

[atharvabagde]

Yes, this does work!
Are there any changes I need to make in order to install via pip? Because I am able to install simply via pip on Colab but it fails on my local Mac

[rusty1s]

We would have to bring rusty1s/pytorch_cluster#208 also to torch-scatter.

This didn't work on my m2 mac;

git clone https://github.com/rusty1s/pytorch_scatter.git

python setup.py install

I am still experiencing this problem with python 3.10.12 in a fresh env:

ftherrien@PC:~$ python3 -m venv test_scatter
ftherrien@PC-T-023:~$ source test_scatter/bin/activate
(test_scatter) felixtherrien@PC-T-023:~$ pip install torch torch_scatter

The following solves it:

pip install torch
pip install --no-use-pep517 torch_scatter
