How can I install torchtext?

Question

I have PyTorch installed in my machine but whenever I try to do the following-

from torchtext import data
from torchtext import datasets

I get the following error.

ImportError: No module named 'torchtext'

How can I install torchtext?

I'd like a version of torchtext (and pytorch) compatible with `cuda>=11.0` — Charlie Parker, Sep 17 '21 at 21:59

As stated in the PyTorch forum, simply do:

$ pip install https://github.com/pytorch/text/archive/master.zip

That should do it.

If not, as an alternative, try:

$ pip install torchtext

For more advanced options, dependencies, and customized installations see:

pypi.org/project/torchtext

Doesn't work with pytorch0.4. The answer by kmario23 is better untill they update pip release. – Binu Jasim Jul 08 '18 at 07:33

The package was released with setuptools support. You can clone the repository and run python setup.py install. Unfortunately, I don't think that they have released it on pip.

I think they may have released it on the pip index now: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/torchtext/0.1.1 – Andrew Patterson Sep 25 '17 at 17:06

This did not work for me. Going to anaconda.org and searching for torchtext revealed: https://anaconda.org/pytorch/torchtext which states that one should use: conda install -c pytorch torchtext – Skusku Nov 13 '19 at 20:27
