[SOLVED] How to make pip run a specific command from requirements file?

Issue

I would like to add lines for torch and torchvision on my requirements.txt file, to allow for easy clone, and I will be moving from computer to computer and to cloud in the near future.

I want an easy pip install -r requirements.txt and be done with it for my project.

> pip freeze > requirements.txt

gives something like

...
torch==1.5.0
torchvision==0.6.0
...

However, pip install -r requirements.txt (which is in fact pip install torch) doesn't work, and instead, as the official torch site, clearly says the command should be:

pip install torch===1.5.0 torchvision===0.6.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

How do I make the requirements file reflect this?

My desktop is Windows 10.

Bonus question:

My cloud is Linux based.
How do I make the requirements file fit both desktop and cloud?

Solution

You can use the same options in your requirements.txt file, e.g.

torch===1.5.0
torchvision===0.6.0
-f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

Then simply run pip install -r requirements.txt
