How to install to enable using GPU

[Denis-Kazakov]

OS: Linux Mint
I believe I was able to install Whisper with just one command previously:
pip install -U openai-whisper
It automatically installed all dependencies including PyTorch and I was immediately able to transcribe speech on GPU.
But when I did it recently, it seems that some dependencies are not installed automatically, so Whisper and PyTorch are there but CUDA support is not: torch.cuda.is_available() yields False.
What is the latest installation procedure enabling use of GPU?

u need to re-install pytorch see: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/

[Denis-Kazakov]

Looks like it is a requirement now, though not mentioned in the docs

[phineas-pta]

torch is already in requirements list, but yeah the docs are a bit obscure, it kind of of expect u to know some basic about torch

[Denis-Kazakov]

I may be wrong, but I think previous versions of whisper installed torch automatically.

[phineas-pta]

yes it still does
