Looks you haven't installed the appropriate version of torch or don't have torch installed in your conda environment. So activate your conda environment and install pytorch. Conda environments are a good way to keep separate dependencies. So if you have had a different version of torch in your system which you usually use. You can still use a specific version of torch separately using virtual environments such as conda.
Did you execute the following command in your pysyft environment? If not, then please run this command and check.
conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch
You should update conda and pip. If it doesn't have torch 1.x it's likely very old.
I have already tried all the mentioned commands I even tried using it within the enviornment in which I had pytorch Installed and I got back the same error my current conda version is 4.5x and the torch version is 1.x @iamtrask
I've the exact same issue seems to me that torch 1.2 (latest) isn't compatible with syft ?.
Any suggestions
