Great video. Could you address the hardware requirements to run Stable Diffusion on a Mac? For example, I have a MacBook Air M2 with 16 GB of memory. Will that be enough power to run this service, including training models?

[@TechXplainator]

Thank you very much! Below are the official hardware requirements for running Stable Diffusion, including the web UI from Automatic 1111: 1. macOS 12.5.1 or later. 2. Apple Silicon Mac model (M1 M2, or M3 chip recommended). 3. Minimum 16 GB of RAM, with 8 GB as the absolute minimum. 4. Intel-based Mac CPUs with GPU acceleration (performance may be slower). From personal experience (using an M2 Mac with 8 GB RAM), I found that generating images with generation one and two models was relatively straightforward. However, I encountered significant challenges when attempting to use SDXL (for more information, refer to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioPJZYOXaa6ZgJI). Unfortunately, local model training was not successful for me due to insufficient RAM. As a workaround, I successfully executed the model training process on Google Colab, though this option requires a paid plan. I hope that helps ☺️

[@garen591]

@@TechXplainator When you say using generation one and two models, do you mean based on the 1.5 stable diffusion models? Cause i want to use Rev_Animated models which is based on 1.5 models. Generally how fast is it to generate 512x512 images and batches of 512x512 images on a mac mini M2 ?

[@TechXplainator]

Yes, precisely. I'm referring to models based on SD 1.5 or SD 2.1. The generation speed varies depending on your GPU. With a MacBook Air M2 with 16GB of memory, I would estimate that generating a single 512x512 image could take around 60-90 seconds. However, I haven't personally tested this configuration, so it's based on my research. If you're generating batches, it will likely take longer. Please keep this in mind.

Huge Thanks for your clear video. may i ask do i need to download SDXL separately id i wanted to do mostly in XL??? Cheerssss

[@TechXplainator]

You're very welcome. Yes, you need some more steps for SDXL. There are some dependencies must be downloaded together with the model file. Honestly: so far, I have not been able to use SDXL on mac without issues, especially since I have limited RAM (8GB). But recently, there were some SDXL models that have been published which are optimized for Ma. So I will try to use those instead. As soon as I get them to work, I will post a video.

I have to correct myself. The refresh-button beside the model drop down works just fine (it didn't previously). This means: There is no need to quit SD after installing a new model. Refreshing is sufficient.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, and I'm glad my video helped. The warning "caught exception 'Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled', memory monitor disabled" only means that SD Web UI didn't detect any NVIDIA card, which is expected on mac. For clarification: Stable Diffusion Web UI works best with NVIDIA graphics card, but the developers at AUTOMATIC1111 added some features that make it run efficiently on Mac's M1/M2 as well. Still, this warning comes up. But it shouldn't be an issue since it is only a warning, not an error message. Stable Diffusion Web UI should run fine regardless. I hope this helps :-)

[@TechXplainator]

To uninstall the downloaded GitHub repository, you'll need to follow these steps in reverse order of the installation process: 1. Begin by navigating to Finder and deleting the folder named "stable-diffusion-webui." This action should also remove the models stored in the "model" folder. 2. Next, uninstall all programs installed via Homebrew by executing the command: brew uninstall cmake protobuf rust python@3.10 git wget If you wish to uninstall Homebrew entirely, please refer to the guide provided here: docs.brew.sh/FAQ#how-do-i-uninstall-homebrew

Actually, I was able to run SD 2.1 on Mac M1 mini with 8GB RAM. It wasn't quick - in fact it took several minutes to generate an image, but it worked. So I'm surprised at why you had so many issues. The minimum specs are: M1 with 8GB Ram for Gen 1 and Gen 2 models. But in general: more RAM would be better.

Thanks for the info. The message "Repo already cloned, using it as install directory" isn't an error; it means the script is using an existing repository for installation.

Unfortunately, Stable Diffusion works best with NVIDIA GPUs, so it has limitations on Macs. Here's what you can do: 1. Make your images smaller to ease the workload and avoid timeouts. 2. Try using an older model like gen 1, based on Stable Diffusion v1.5. 3. If you're still having issues after resizing and using an older model, try reinstalling Stable Diffusion. Hope this helps!

how can I uninstall all of these things? I just now heard about forge

[@TechXplainator]

To uninstall the downloaded GitHub repository, you'll need to follow these steps in reverse order of the installation process: 1. Begin by navigating to Finder and deleting the folder named "stable-diffusion-webui." This action should also remove the models stored in the "model" folder. 2. Next, uninstall all programs installed via Homebrew by executing the command: brew uninstall cmake protobuf rust python@3.10 git wget If you wish to uninstall Homebrew entirely, please refer to the guide provided here: docs.brew.sh/FAQ#how-do-i-uninstall-homebrew

[@evelynstrip]

@@TechXplainator Thank you

[@TechXplainator]

I haven't tried forge myself, comfyUI is faster than A1111 for all platforms. But in general, Stable Diffusion models (regardless of the UI) are optimized for NVIDIA. So I guess they all will work better on Windows with NVIDIA GPU.

[@TheMagista88]

No m3?

[@TechXplainator]

I assume it works for M3 as well, although I haven't tried.

[@AleynaB-bp9bv]

Does this installation come with controlnet? If not, is it possible to use controlnet with macOS?

[@TechXplainator]

Thanks for reaching out! No, you'll need to install ControlNet separately as an extension. And yes, I was able to use ControlNet with my M1/M2 even with low VRAM (8GB). However, it is very slow. I will soon make a video about ControlNet. Meanwhile, please find a quick installation guide on my GitHub page: techxplainator.github.io/stable-diffusion/install-controlnet.html

will it cause damage to my Mac in anyway?

[@TechXplainator]

Great question, thank you! Automatic1111 is an open-source software that undergoes continuous review by numerous developers worldwide, significantly reducing the likelihood of it containing harmful bugs or viruses. However, like any tool downloaded from the internet, there's no absolute guarantee of safety. The same applies to prerequisite tools like Python, Homebrew, and others.

[@devacore477]

it broke my system - wouldn't advise on an M1 Mac.

[@TechXplainator]

Sorry to hear that. It was not my experience (Mac M1 mini - 8GB RAM). I'm working on a video on alternative ways to run Stable Diffusion on Mac, specifically for low GPU macs. Stable Diffusion Web UI is more suitable for very high powered Macs and better alternatives have become available.

[@KiiDbeamO]

My Mac is not the best but I create Photos of buildings and liminal stuff… any chance you’d know or anyone If this can run on my Mac?… my processor: 2GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536MB. Memory: 16GB 3722MHz LPDDR4X MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1

[@TechXplainator]

hmmm... not sure. I have only tried it with M1/M2 processors. Sorry.

[@stableArtAI]

basically it should run on any, there I a way to user cpu memory, SD is designed for GPU but can run on CPU too. As a neophyte the is one of the best install guide found and worked like charm. Since started our journey we made some big strides.

[@Jakobono22]

why can't i enter my password for the installation in terminal? :D

[@TechXplainator]

When you're in the terminal app and its asking for password, you just start typing and then hit enter. You will not see a window or a field for the password, just type ahead and enter, then the installation process continues. Hope that helps ☺️

[@Jakobono22]

Thx a lot :)@@TechXplainator

So everything went fineuntil this error during opening SD: ImportError: dlopen(/Users/jaquesack/stable-diffusion-webui/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cv2/cv2.abi3.so, 2): Symbol not found: ___darwin_check_fd_set_overflow Referenced from: /Users/jaquesack/stable-diffusion-webui/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cv2/.dylibs/libX11.6.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 11.0) Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib in /Users/jaquesack/stable-diffusion-webui/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cv2/.dylibs/libX11.6.dylib Could you maybe help me in any way? Thx in advance and for the great content

[@TechXplainator]

Thanks for your great comment 💙. It looks like you are on python version 3.9 - perhaps from an earlier installation? Please make sure to install at least version 3.10 - or higher. You may use the command behind this installation guide to get python 3.10: techxplainator.github.io/stable-diffusion/sd-installation-guide.html#step-2---use-homebrew-to-install-required-applications. Good luck 🍀

[@tiagol924]

funciona mesmo!

[@AndrewDavidBaron]

I spent entire day trying this. Kept getting error messages. Tried to uninstall and reinstall every aspect of this tutorial. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Terminal itself. Nothing worked. I gave up. Literally wasted an entire day.

[@gamerfitness7895]

Doesn’t work on Mac air

[@TechXplainator]

Hi there, actually: it works for me on a MacBook Air M2 2022. What's the issue you're facing?

[@gamerfitness7895]

I have the M1 chip and I keep getting error for multiple processes after adding the model. I can’t get the URL every single time that I tried 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TechXplainator]

Sorry to hear that. If it helps, here's a list of common issues and solutions with Mac installation, please feel free to check if your errors are among them: github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/discussions/5461 Good luck!

[@TechXplainator]

Could be a conflict with a potential previous Python version you had installed, but I'm not sure. Can you please make sure you are using at least python version 3.10 for stable diffusion? To check the version, go to terminal and type in: python3 --version. It should give you the version. If you still get the error in spite of having version 3.10 (or higher), please open an issue in the AUTOMATIC1111 GitHub repo: github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues. I've looked for your error message and couldn't find a good solution, so this may be worthy of a new issue. Good luck!
