How to Install Stable Diffusion on M1 Macs

[@soumayaseghir4177]

hi every time I write "brew install cmake protobuf rust python@3.10 git wget" on the terminal it says "command not found" I'm blocked I can not install stable diffusion.

[@LaCarnevali]

Hey, I assume you installed Homebrew. If so, it can be that Homebrew was installed in another directory - you can check that when you run the Homebrew installation on your terminal. In my case, Homebrew was installed into /opt/homebrew: " ==> This script will install: /opt/homebrew/bin/brew /opt/homebrew/share/doc/homebrew /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/brew.1 /opt/homebrew/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew " If you get another directory, you have to run brew from its origin. For macOS Intel, the directory is /usr/local, so in that case, you should run the below: /usr/local/bin/brew install cmake protobuf rust python@3.10 git wget Then follow NEXT STEPS shown on command line, it should show something like this ==> Next steps: - Add Homebrew to your PATH in /Users/$USER/.zprofile: echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> /Users/$USER/.zprofile eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv) Copy and paste the first line on the same terminal window, then hit enter echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> /Users/$USER/.zprofile Then Copy and paste the last line on the same terminal window, then hit enter eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv) Finally you should be able to use brew help and if that works, it means that brew was installed properly and running from ZSH.

After several hours and several attempts BOOM...mil GRACIAS. Without you I would not have succeeded ☺

[@AppaloosaMichael]

Hi Laura, thanks for the video. Have you considered making a video on how to create an alias application to run stable diffusion? that would allow users to click an icon from the dock instead of manually navigating to the terminal and running the .sh command

[@VoxerArt]

could you guide me how to do this?

[@allensong6693]

thank you so much. Laura, i finally installed sd on my mac. it's working perfectly. many thanks.Best to you.

[@izcarus]

Laura! You are amazing, I subscribed as thanks for taking the time to post and respond. EDIT UPDATE: I was getting an error message that "ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch==1.12.1" ---- Turns out I uploaded Python 3.11 which is not supported and when I uploaded 3.10 it seems to be working. Still looking forward to more tutorials if you get into detail about different model packages. THX!

[@LaCarnevali]

Thank you, Carlos! I m going to post soon a video to fix these small warnings when running SD! Happy you sorted :)

worked like a charm! best explanation straight to the point, thanks!👏

thank u laura, your instruction to use Warp to install made this very easy!

Hi Laura! Thank you for instruction! just installed on my MacBook Pro 14 m1 Pro according to your instructions. everything is working! there was just a warning "Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled". and there was also a notice "A new release of pop is available: 23.0.1 - 23.1.2" to update run: pip instal --upgrade pip (and after installation I typed this but nothing happened.. maybe it has updated already? thank you for your work Laura!

[@SD_Alias]

Hi as a mid 50s retoucher that started retouching in the 80s with brushes and airbrushes this is very scary to see. I have witnessed the development of my profession over the last 30 years with a mixture of horror and fascination. And I'm afraid that is another development that can't be stopped. So I can't avoid dealing with it in my old age. Can stable diffusion be used without programming knowledge? I don't know where to start. 😔 I am a Photoshop user on a Mac Studio but i have no IT skills. Or would it be better to start with other software ? I just can't spend a lot of money unfortunately.... Are there any beginner tutorials?

[@LaCarnevali]

Hi, I see what you mean. It can be scary. The artist has to be still there, taking their creative thoughts and translating them onto the "page"; it’s just that the tools accommodating that process are different. And you're going in the right direction trying this. I think using Midjourney or Dall-e 2 is easier, but they are not 100% free. Stable Diffusion is 100% free. You should probably start installing it on Google Colab - the installation process is way easier, and the image generation speed is way faster. Regarding tutorials, I would look into KZbin tutorials. Once you play a bit with it, it's not difficult. Google Colab tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3exq2evbaqVsJY

[@SD_Alias]

@@LaCarnevali Thank you very much! It is the first time i hear about google Colab. Is this something like Google Docs? I will try it next days as you suggest and have a look at this tutorial...

[@fullflowstudios]

If you are old what am I then? I'm 70 and heavily involved in Stable Diffusion and in getting the CodeFormer AI routines to work locally because of the AMAZING facial restoration capabilities. I suspect that it will lead me to a great online business in building graphics with real people from the past in A.I. environments that never got to be( like Berlin without the second World War). If you were thinking that the last three years of covid were a big disruption in your fifties than buckle up for the next three years!! A.I. will be a lot more disruptive than covid for sure. Just read this comment, three years from now and check if I'm right. Laura is looking at it the right way: she's such a gem. Cristal clear guidelines along a strong and erudite train of thoughts while still being so creative. I really admire her. She is an example of a human being that knows: "And at once I knew I am not magnificent"(according to the lyrics of Holocene by Bon Iver).

[@RiverReeves23]

Great video! Can you please make a video on how to train a LORA locally on a Mac M1? This seems to have close to no documentation and people are struggling. I found one guy on Reddit that got it running and can train in 10 mins but everyone else is running in to brick walls.

Thanks for a very clear and simple video Laura. Is the Core ML version o stable diffusion faster than the PyTorch version. I am using Apple MacBook Pro with M2 chip. If so, how do I also install CoreML version of SD 1.5? Thank You

Hi i'm unable to generate images. Getting this pop up" NansException: A tensor with all NaNs was produced in Unet. This could be either because there's not enough precision to represent the picture, or because your video card does not support half type. Try setting the "Upcast cross attention layer to float32" option in Settings > Stable Diffusion or using the --no-half commandline argument to fix this. Use --disable-nan-check commandline argument to disable this check." I'm using Mac mini M1
