-> _Aside:_ If you are using [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section), you may experience an error caused by the linker:
->
-> ```plaintext
-> build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.7/torch/csrc/stub.o: file not recognized: file format not recognized
-> collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
-> error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1
-> ```
->
-> This is caused by `ld` from the Conda environment shadowing the system `ld`. You should use a newer version of Python that fixes this issue. The recommended Python version is 3.8.1+.
