For people getting the Wheel Error about the tourch requirment. Uninstall python completly, both in the control panel and in your %appdata folder delete pip folder then python in the programs folder (look up how to get to %appdata if you dont know how). Delete the AI folder you made. Redo the entire videos instruction BUT download version 3.10.6 instead. Durring the install select Add to path / install to path. Just continue and youll be good !

[@dictatorrich3412]

Great tutorial, I finally got it working, but you really shouldn't have jump skipped the install process for all the programs. It took me like an hour before I saw the pinned comment telling me to have that checkbox. I could have had a lot of time and frustration saved. Also, installing git was a bit of a process, and had me decide between more things than I was comfortable with. I was not confident with all of my choices, and even though everything was right, it was confusing, and I could see someone slipping at this part. Otherwise, it got me where I needed to be, so thank you :)

for those that are wondering about machine requirements: You'll need a PC with a modern AMD or Intel processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, an NVIDIA RTX GPU with 8 gigabytes of memory, and a minimum of 10 gigabytes of free storage space available. A GPU with more memory will be able to generate larger images without requiring upscaling

I used version 1.4, and had the same problem. I needed to close everything down in order to get enough memory not to get the error 2. It wouldnt download anything. I ended up shutting down the pc. Everything closed. Restarting the pc. Then I installed java script 3.10.6 over again. I had to delete the venv and delete pip folder in user/username/appdata/local. After doing all of that It finally downloaded. I have 8gb vram on an rtx 3060 and 64 gb cpu ram. Shouldnt be having that issue i would think. But i did. Absolutely clear up vram and restart and then do a fresh java install on the older java versions.

If you're getting error code 1, a possible problem is that the newest version may actually be too new. Going back and using 310 instead of 312 solved it for me. If it then starts giving you an error about not being able to find python at the prior directory, I worked around this by making a copy of the 310 directory and making it a 312 directory. It was none the wiser and I finally after hours of working on this was able to get it to actually run. - This also resolved my error about unable to find a compatible torch version

[@zeloguy]

I believe it's insanely important to let your users know AMD Graphics cards will not work. (although does have a workaround and technically works [eventually]). Even something as beefy as a 6800XT or something like that will take FOREVER to render and that is after using the workaround. This is because of the lack of CUDA cores on the GPU. Don't want to get too technical on y'all but if you have an AMD card (even a new one) I would not have high hopes.

[@camar078]

I can confirm that. About 50% of the users here will not benefit from the local solution because the image generation via CPU simply takes too long. In the meantime, all arguments actually speak for nvidia in the graphics area, even if I have been satisfied with AMD cards for more than 20 years.

[@Gaphalor]

​@@zeloguy Does anyone else have the problem that when generating in SD the GPU ignores the templimits set? I have my temp limit in afterburner to 83°c and I never had any issue in every game or application it doesn't run over that limit, but then I used SD and it literally ignored it and went up to 95° and Hotspot even 105°. I tried a lot to downvolt set power to 80% and set even lower temp limit but it ignores it completely in SD and still went up to 90° What is this can't figure it out and why does it work in any apply cation but not in Stable Diffusion? Anyone else running in some GPU issues or is it just me? BTW I run a GTX1070ti 8GB, 16GB ddr4 3200 and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Might the 1070ti be too old at this point? It takes around 30-60s for a batch of 4 512 to 800 Pixel Images so I am happy with the speed, it's just I cannot get the heat limit to work. I might need to either invest in better cooling or just buy a newer GPU...

[@zeloguy]

@@Gaphalor What graphics card are you using? I would also use MSIAfterburner to create a custom curve. Those heat numbers will burn out your card in no time. Remember that a game is going up and down with the amount of graphics card usage it utilizes. A1111 will use 100% for however long you are rendering and if the fans are not set to handle that (or can't handle that) then you are going to get a toasty (and eventually dead) graphics card.

[@Gaphalor]

@@zeloguy I have an Asus Rog Strix 1070ti 8GB, so with 3 Fans and I put all of them to 100% at even 80 degrees, it helped a bit but not enough. I just wonder why it keeps pushing 100% when I set heat limit, normally the card stays perfectly in the limit. So its basicly not possible to run stable Diffusion on less then a 100% card? If thats the case I think I will not use Stable Diffusion until I have another card, I wont risk to burn my GPU down

@@gedion4000 This solved the problem for me. I uninstalled python and then installed it via the Microsoft store and it worked.

ME TOO I AGREE ,Finally a tutorial that is simple, clear, and straightforward in explaining step-by-step on how to get stable diffusion locally. Thank you!

[@internetshort3962]

if anyone having python not found error, try to delete "venv" folder inside stablediffusion folder. the retry opening ".bat" file

[@Spyduhmahn]

This helped me. I was reinstallin python versions with no progress, until I deleted the venv to redirect to the right python path

[@evgeniypupkin5763]

that worked!

[@ctechnie]

After i click "webui-user.bat" a prompt pops up and "no python at "my computer(just for example)" shows up then says press any key to continue ... but i downloaded python and selected add to path during install what am i doing wrong? please help!

[@vincentlemineur]

Thanks Matt! It's my first time trying this and I thought it would work if I followed your really precise intructions. I struggled with Python at some points but managed to "go to the final"... To finally read this at the and of the batch: "Stable diffusion model failed to load, exiting...". No clue about what I should do! I feel like I'm back to my mid 80s Commodore 64 issues...not for me 😂(I've checked a lot of solutions in the comments but I don't seem to find that specific problem). Any advices around?! ☺

I followed your instructions step by step. Everything went exactly as you said until I went back to the stable-diffusion-website folder. There is no webui-user.bat file the last two files are both webui-user.

Great job providing another solution. But had challenges fulling loading it. When you ask to double click on "webui-user" batch file, nothing happens as the error states that python could not be found. Yet as per your instructions, python is fully loaded and in my system. Any advice? Many thanks. Cheers..

[@glenyoung1809]

See the pinned comment. "When installing Python, make sure to enable the "Add Python 3.10 to PATH" checkbox. Otherwise, your .batch file may not find the Python installation".

Mind = blown, great stuff Matt, thank you for this! Do the latter iterations of Stable Diffusion already contain the previous versions or are are they entirely different things?

Seems they do not since have to download each separately.

Great! thank you. Finally install it after trying several websites

[@SirGriefALot]

Why is this so goddamn complicated?! 😅 It is the coolest thing I've ever seen so I don't want to be ungrateful, but how can they make something so amazing and not be able to put it into a file I can just double click on to install it?

[@tebasak1]

Coming across python is at version 11 and 10 is needed for some torch installation. I deleted the VERV folder as it instructed and uninstalled and reinstalled 10.6 and got the error below. HELP! Had to check the PATH on installation, but it looks like it doesn't like AMD GPUS? Couldn't launch python RuntimeError: Torch is not able to use GPU; add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check

[@jimberry7865]

Is there a list somewhere that says what the minimum GPU specs are? I have an older computer I'd like to run this on so I don't have to install so much runtime stuff on my main PC.

[@r34ct4]

NVIDIA RTX GPU with 8 gigabytes of memory. Very important NOTE: From what I have read, AMD cards are essentially NOT supported (I have an AMD card). adding "COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --lowvram --precision full --no-half --skip-torch-cuda-test" to webui-user.batch file is a work-around but ends up using your CPU for processing which drastically lowers performance.

[@mreflow]

Thanks for jumping in! Super helpful. :)

[@pyrodagod9093]

Yup! Didn’t work for me whatsoever. Spent 3 hours tryna figure it out. Very frustrating. But I appreciate the help and seems like others were able to get it going! Hope I figure it out sooner than later 😔

[@santonio7283]

Hi Matt, I followed the steps and was able to load Stable Diffusion in my browser. However, when Ii click generate, I got "Connection Errored Out" error. Do you have any ideas why?

[@mreflow]

I'm not sure. Do you have a decent GPU on your computer? You should have at least 8GB of VRAM to run the local version.

[@nooo3333]

You have to keep the Python open. I closed python and tried running the stable Diffusion and got the same error. I Reopend the webui-user.bat and then it worked fine.

[@FEARTHEFUTURE]

It should say on the cmd window why it didn't run. If you have a slow GPU might have to close apps that aren't being used. I'm running it on a 4gb gtx1650 and I get that when they are looking for more vram

[@buskavideo7149]

I had the same error. Followed other advice in these comments to uninstall Python 3.10.10 and install 3.10.09 instead. That seemed to fixed it as I can now generate images.

[@Lumpappsofficial]

Nice! Got it working. Question, once it run the installer, how do I re-run it after I restart my system for example?

[@Lumpappsofficial]

Ah, got it. Just rerun the .bat thingy ;)

[@SquareoftheLightOnes]

If you get the error "Torch is not able to use GPU", it's because CUDA, which is what StableDiffusion uses to access the GPU, is an NVIDIA-proprietary software and they don't want you using the competition.

How is everyone's downloads taking so long? I downloaded 1.5 and it was like 7.5 gigs in like 30 seconds. Then when it asked you to move the ckpt folder and run those scripts it took even less than that. Took a whole of 1 minute to get it up and running. Other than that, great tutorial on getting this up and running. Easy to follow.

Video should be deleted. Misinformation. If it used to work, it doesn't now. Fails on Python installation (6:06). Going back to older versions of Python only shows a lack of Windows-enabled installers, and therefore total installation failure. If you trust and follow this video, you're left with a bunch of partially installed, data-hogging programs that don't work.

​@@tatterdemalion01 ​ lol false? What do you want a video of it working just fine? I'll humor you though. The reason its probably not working on your machine is because you neglected to read the first few lines in your terminal that stated that you're running the wrong version of Python.

I did as the error message suggested and uninstalled the Python 3.12 AND deleted the "venv" folder from the stable-diffusion-webui folder. Then, installed 3.10.6 making sure to add to PATH. It installed as expected after that.

[@Joshua-ju5uc]

I think you need an updated version of this video. some of these files are different. there is no "webui-user-bat." there is a batch file but just "webui-user" Then it says the Python file doesn't meet requirements. i tried downloading an older version 3.10.6 but then it say no python installed I'm not tech smart so i'm stuck

[@elliottstreamliner]

Do I understand correctly than if you don't leave this running and want to start it up again you need to click on the webui batch file and paste the ip address in your browser again? Can't wait to try this out. Thanks for the video.
