Question about installation from pre-built binaries

[sebffischer]

The installation guide mentions that it is possible to install torch from pre-built binaries on linux, but when following the installation instructions, I get:

install.packages("torch", type = "binary")
Error in install.packages("torch", type = "binary") : 
  type 'binary' is not supported on this platform

Does this only work on specific linux distributions or should this work in general? I get the same results on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 22.04
