Description

🕋 Website

I would like to suggest an improvement to the PyTorch installation page to better reflect the current packaging and distribution recommendations.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to the PyTorch website: https://pytorch.org
  2. Navigate to the 'Get Started' or 'Installation' section
  3. Observe the current order of packaging options listed

Expected behavior

The "Pip" package manager should be listed first under the "Package" section of the installation guide, as it is now the primary recommended method for installing PyTorch, especially after the deprecation of the official Anaconda channel.

Additional context

Given the recent deprecation of PyTorch's official Anaconda channel (Issue https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/138506), it would be beneficial for users if the installation guide on the website reflects this change by prioritizing Pip. This would provide a more streamlined and clear installation process for new users and align with the current maintenance and user download trends.

Research direction

Start at the PyTorch website's Get Started or Installation page and inspect the Package section's current ordering. Confirm the guidance about the deprecated official Anaconda channel, then update the ordering so Pip is listed first. Done means the installation guide clearly presents Pip as the primary package option.
