maybe something useful to add to the install instructions

[markmuir87]

It's possible I'm just a little thick, but I spent the last 10 minutes scratching my head as to why setup.py was not picking up my TORCH_INSTALL env variable. Turns out I had forgotten that 'sudo' (using Arch, it might be aliased by default in Ubuntu) causes you to lose all of your environment variables and pick up root's.

Installing with 'sudo -E' solves this problem. Maybe worth including a one-liner in README.md, to help folks like me who are too lazy to create a virtualenv :)

Also, I've been searching for exactly this library, so can't wait to try it out!

I see, thanks for the suggestion, I haven't tested with Arch, will add it later.

Tried with "sudo -E" but still getting this error.

@engmubarak48 I have no idea what's going on exactly, have you tried to run TORCH_INSTALL=/your/torch/path pip sudo -E install lutorpy

[engmubarak48]

@oeway tried this "TORCH_INSTALL=/home/mubarak/miniconda3/envs/face-clustering/lib/python3.6/site-packages/torch sudo -E pip install lutorpy", since your pip is at the wrong location. But, still not working

Hi, it seems you are using torch installed by conda, but we have never tested that.

Could you try to install torch according to the official website: http://torch.ch/docs/getting-started.html#_

[123JACK123jack]

@oeway I tried to enter my torch installation directory, and then executed sudo -E pip3 install lutorpy to indicate that the installation was successful, but when I "require" in the program, I still get an error. How can I solve it, or I understand the problem wrong. Hope to get help, thank you.

Hi, I don’t work on this for a while. Unfortunately this type of issue is hard to debug and varies by user’s os and environment. I am a bit busy at the moment, perhaps won’t have time to look into this, sorry.

ImportError: module 'setuptools.dist' has no attribute 'check_specifier'

[burhanbarakli]

i changed in setup.py

torch_install_dir = '/home/bob/distro/install'

that"s all! it's worked!
