System Dependencies for PyTorch (or TensorFlow)

[philswatton]

Currently, both PyTorch and TensorFlow have specific install requirements depending on OS. In particular, for macos with the M1 chip, specific installation steps need to be followed. This becomes especially difficult in poetry:

• Instructions for installing PyTorch python-poetry/poetry#6409
• PyTorch 1.13 cannot be installed using poetry on Mac M1 pytorch/pytorch#88049

There are similar issues for TensorFlow. Specific package installations for Mac M1 are available:

In the work on #3, PyTorch is imported via URLs in poetry. However, this is only true for macos - and I think specific versions of it. Implementing cross-system dependencies would be ideal going forward.

EDIT: this may be more straightforward once PyTorch 1.13.1 is released: pytorch/pytorch#88826

1.13.1 has been released now fyi, so could see if it works for you now without pinning URLs etc., if you haven't already?

Will look into it, thank you!

With 1.13.1 released and #13 merged this issue is now resolved
