System Information

• OS: windows 10
• Language Version:Python 3.8
• Package Manager Version:Conda 4.9.2, pycharm, syft 0.3, torch1.8.0

I followed the README to install the syft, but I can not import it successfully. Please tell me what else I need to do to make the environment correct. Thanks!

Did you install syft with?

$ pip install git+https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft@dev#egg=syft

Hello, I had the same issue and your proposition worked @madhavajay, thanks!
But why do we have to that and why pip install syft alone does not work?

Maybe it is because the packge installed by pip is an old version which is different from https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft@dev#egg=syft

It is mos

It is mostly because of the torch version!
We need torch version <=1.7.0 & >=1.4.0 and torchvision<=0.9 & >=0.5 .

I also had to deal with this problem.
My system information as follows:

OS: windows 10
Language Version:Python 3.7
Package Manager Version: syft 0.3, torch1.8.1

I tried to downgrade torch==1.7.0 and torchvision==0.8.1

an installation with CUDA
pip install torch===1.7.0 torchvision===0.8.1 torchaudio===0.7.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

an installation without CUDA
pip install torch==1.7.0+cpu torchvision==0.8.1+cpu torchaudio===0.7.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

And it works.

File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found for legacy project syft from git+https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft@dev#egg=syft

I get above error when i try to install using pip install git+https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft@dev#egg=syft

I was also getting the same error as @mkeshav and @phenomenal-manish . I tried installing an earlier version using pip and it worked for me.

pip install syft==0.5.0

https://pypi.org/project/syft/0.6.0/#history

$ pip install git+https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft@dev#egg=syft

When I tried using ! pip install git+https://github.com/OpenMined/PySyft@dev#egg=syft in colab.

The error:

Below worked for me.
It is about torch and torchvison version compatibility

1. pip install syft
2. pip install torchvision===0.1.6 torchaudio===0.11.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
