Please update 'installation from binary' to 0.11.0

The instructions still show 0.10.0, but there appears to be no repo behind it. Whereas 'guessing' that 0.11.0 may work was successful. I would be lovely to make it more obvious one now needs the torch package version -- maybe the example can even farm out and use the version at CRAN to keep the docs in sync 'automagically' ?

Thanks for reporting, I have updated the docs. Unfortunatelly it will only appear in the website once we make a new release, but it can be already found in the dev version of the docs:

I am having the same problem now with 0.12.0 following the instructions in the current vignette:

> version <- available.packages()["torch","Version"]
> options(repos = c(
  torch = sprintf("https://storage.googleapis.com/torch-lantern-builds/packages/%s/%s/", kind, version),
  CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org" # or any other from which you want to install the other R dependencies.
))
> install.packages("torch")

Hah! And like before 'guessing' that cu118 may work seems to help:

> kind <- "cu118"
> version <- "0.12.0"
> options(repos = c(
  torch = sprintf("https://storage.googleapis.com/torch-lantern-builds/packages/%s/%s/", kind, version),

I just found out that using cu118 fixed my install issues. It's worth noting that the Install Vignette on CRAN is outdated and thus, not working
