pytorch 安装visdom报错解决办法

配置信息：pytorch + python3.5 +Anaconda+Windows10

在Anaconda Prompt 安装命令：pip install visdom

报错信息如下：

尝试的解决办法

1. 网上说是因为安装的版本太高。所以我卸载了0.1.8.3 的版本，安装visdom==0.1.7。但是还是报同样的错误。
2. 又安装1.6.0 。发现还是会报错。
3. 又仔细看了一下报错信息。提示“packaging” 没有安装。所以长似乎安装一下：pip3 install packaging
4. 很尴尬，安装有警告。但是也算成功了。这里第一次安装失败的话就多安装几次。

. 然后再pip install visdom一下：然后就成功了。

总结

 这一次安装经历发现。一个安装失败的命令，可以先分析一下原因，对症下药。再者就是多执行几次。检查一下是否执行成功。或许就成功了呢。玄学。
