How to install torchtext 0.4.0 on conda
The torchtext 0.4.0 library exists (can be downloaded thru pip), but conda install torchtext=0.4.0 will not work. How can I download torchtext to a anaconda environment?


Create conda env with python:

$ conda create -n torchtext python=3.7
Activate it:

$ conda activate torchtext


torchtext 0.4.0 installation currently is not available via conda. So we will use pip, anyway pip installs torchtext inside your activated conda env.


Let's find torchtex available versions:

(torchtext)$ pip search torchtext
torchtext (0.3.1) - Text utilities and datasets for PyTorch


As you can see there is no 0.4.0. 
4. But we can install it from official github repo:

(torchtext)$ pip install git+https://github.com/pytorch/text.git



Verify the installation:

(torchtext)$ conda list

...

torch                1.1.0                    pypi_0    pypi

torchtext            0.4.0                    pypi_0    pypi

tqdm                 4.32.2                   pypi_0    pypi

...

(torchtext)$ python -c "import torchtext; print('torchtext is fine!')"

torchtext is fine!
