  4. To create a new Anaconda environment, run the following command in the terminal to create a new environment named “pytorch” and activate it.
  5. Create a new environment called “pytorch” with Python version 3.8 and activate it.
  6. Install PyTorch: In the activated PyTorch environment, execute the following command to install PyTorch.
  7. Install PyTorch, torchvision, torchaudio, and cudatoolkit version 11.1 from the PyTorch and conda-forge channels using conda.
  8. Verify installation: In the Python interactive environment, execute the following command to confirm if PyTorch has been successfully installed.
  9. import torch
    print(torch version)
  10. If you are able to successfully output the version number of PyTorch, it means the installation was successful.

Now, you can start performing deep learning tasks using PyTorch. Refer to the official PyTorch documentation to learn how to utilize its various features and APIs.
