SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves PyTorch installation and compatibility issues before Quark setup, especially when the wrong CPU, CUDA, or ROCm build has been installed and the environment cannot use the intended accelerator.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backend-aware installation: Chooses the correct PyTorch package family for CPU, CUDA, or ROCm environments.
  • Conflict detection and recovery: Handles torch version mismatches, missing imports, and cases where CUDA is unavailable after install.
  • Verification-first workflow: Confirms the installed torch, torchvision, and torchaudio versions and checks hardware availability so Quark can run reliably.
  • Use case: A developer preparing a Quark quantization environment can use this Skill to fix a broken or incomplete PyTorch setup before installing Quark itself.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to inspect your accelerator and install the correct PyTorch build for it, then verify that torch imports cleanly and the GPU is available.

Frequently Asked Questions about quark-torch-install

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix PyTorch CUDA unavailable errors before installing Quark?

Fix PyTorch CUDA unavailable errors by installing the correct backend-specific PyTorch build for your accelerator. This process detects version conflicts, resolves missing imports, and verifies hardware availability so Quark can run reliably on your GPU.

What is the correct way to match torchvision and torchaudio versions with PyTorch for ROCm?

Matching torchvision and torchaudio versions with PyTorch requires selecting version-matched packages specific to your ROCm backend. This ensures compatibility across the torch ecosystem, preventing import errors and hardware detection failures during accelerator setup.

How do I install the right PyTorch build for a CPU-only environment?

Install the right PyTorch build for a CPU-only environment by selecting the CPU-specific PyTorch package family. This workflow verifies torch imports cleanly and confirms device availability without attempting to access unavailable CUDA or ROCm GPU hardware.

Why does importing torch fail after a PyTorch installation?

Importing torch fails after installation when the wrong CPU, CUDA, or ROCm build is installed. Resolve this by applying backend-aware package selection, replacing the mismatched version, and verifying that torch imports cleanly before proceeding.

Do I need to verify PyTorch hardware availability before setting up Quark?

You need to verify PyTorch hardware availability before setting up Quark to ensure your accelerator backend is correctly configured. This verification-first workflow confirms torch, torchvision, and torchaudio versions and checks GPU detection to prevent runtime failures.
