AI Art: It is criminal to not post your prompt

It's hard for newbies to know which version of python they're running

If you only install one version, ever, then PATH doesn't matter you can just hard code the path to python.exe

PATH is cool and you want to push the nightmare of knowing where every end user on every os imaginable is, but it's ok you can just hard code it on your local copy, I won't tell anyone :ssh:

The nice thing about python is that every part of it is interpreted, which means as the end user you can just... Modify it however you like to suit your needs. In terms of programming languages it's pretty readable and MIT has been using it as a teaching language for at least a dozen years

I never asked any questions related to PATH. The install instructions explicitly say "Make sure it puts the Python folder in your Windows environment path. It does not do this by default, but there is a setting you can change during install. If this doesn't work, you can do it manually." and I said I assumed that meant to install Python into the /windows/ directory (because of the error mentioned below and because it does not default to /windows/), then asked a question about why Python was unable to update Torch.

The replies were about (1) PATH and (2) Absolutely do not put python in the /windows/ directory

(1) is helpful but I had already clicked that during install (2) makes the entire system unworkable because it requires Python being in the /windows/ directory, and if Python is not installed there it errors out immediately.

So I'm more confused after asking in this thread than I was before :v:

Apologies if the instructions are unclear, I will update to be more specific.

As several replies have said, you need Python's installer to be in your PATH, which is a Windows environment variable. Go find python.exe wherever you installed it, copy that path (C:\Program Files\python\ or whatever). Place that path in your PATH environment variable.

To do this manually in Windows 10:

1. Go to System -> Control Panel

2. Click the Advanced system settings link.

3. Click Environment Variables. In the section System Variables find the PATH environment variable and select it. Click Edit. If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New.

4. In the Edit System Variable (or New System Variable) window, paste the path to your Python.exe. Click OK.

(In case you're wondering, the reason it may have worked for you when you installed Python to C:\Windows is because C:\Windows is by default already in the PATH. But there's a variety of reasons not to install things there.)

I am not having any issues with path

If I run webui.bat

If Python is NOT installed to /windows/ I get this error.

If the python directory does exist in /windows/ (as in, I have uninstalled python and reinstalled it to /windows/) (which I was told NOT to do after posting ITT), I get the error reported in the post where i asked the question.

code:

RuntimeError: Couldn't install torch.

ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch==1.12.1+cu113

If I try running webui.py it crashes immediately with an error.

If I try running the same string directly in the python console, it points to pip as the invalid syntax

It does this even if I switch the string to reference python.exe in the directory where python is installed:

and pip does exist in the scripts directory there:

I don't know anything about Python (and don't care to) but this is what happened just following the instructions word-for-word and doing everything right :smith:

I don't really care about fixing this because MJ works well enough for me, but just wanted to post it because of the insinuation that anyone struggling with installing it is making it harder than it needs to be. Python is some erudite poo poo that makes a lot less sense than people who are familiar with it think. It's easy to learn, I'm sure, but it's pretty incomprehensible without any background knowledge in it compared to any of the web dev languages I'm used to.

You don't have to know any Python to get SD running locally. I don't know Python. I didn't edit anything other than the webui-user.bat file. If you're in the Python console, you're already way beyond what is required in a normal setup. I'm not saying you did anything wrong or dumb; Python in particular is super fiddly and obtuse.

I suspect your issues are coming from the Python runtime environment itself. I've read accounts of it being difficult about installing different versions or in different folders. I unfortunately don't know enough about it to help un-gently caress it.

If MJ works better for you, by all means keep using it.

yeah now that it's in an unknown state it's going to be a lot harder to debug the install than it would be to install it from a known totally-uninstalled state

If Python is NOT installed to /windows/ I get this error.

This is only happening because you installed it to /windows/ in the first place (and then moved it out). During its first-time setup when you first ran it, it set up a venv config with (among other things) the exact location of the python install it was using, and now that you moved your install it can't find it. If you delete the "venv" folder and rerun it, it should do that first-time setup again pointing to your new saner install location and then work just fine.

This has nothing to do with pip missing, in fact you can see from the output that pip is starting to run just fine -- but it's failing with a RuntimeError when it fails to find a compatible version of torch. Honestly I don't know why that is, but it might be because you're running python 3.11 instead of 3.10.6, the version the webui specifically says it needs and the version the instructions say to install. Python version compatibility is a pain in the rear end.

quote:

That's normal. Webui.bat does the essential setup and then launches the .py file for you, you aren't meant to run webui.py on its own.

quote:

That's also normal. This is a python syntax error because none of those commands are python code, they are windows command-line arguments to python.exe. They run in the windows console.
They won't run in the python console, just like "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --guest --new-window" won't do anything if you type it in the google chrome address bar. (If you type it into cmd.exe you'll open a new guest-profile window in chrome). But you shouldn't need to manually do any of that.

It probably uses the same VRAM as "normal" textual inversion / embedding training.
The internet says that requires a minimum of about 12gb, which is like a 3080 or better.

Although you could also do it on a paid service like colab or runpod for a few dollars.

The old method works on my 8GB 1070 so it might not be that bad

First of all, try https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui instead and see if it's not more to your liking. It does 9 out of 10 things A1111 does.

When you still want to install A1111: You're installing the newest Python version. It specifically wants 3.10.6, so uninstall 3.11 and install 3.10.6 to whatever default folder the installer wants (I've honestly come to believe A1111 is so poo poo, it matters), then make sure the folder is in PATH in Environmental Variables in Windows, and delete the /venv/ folder it made. (In fact, loving delete the whole thing and get it fresh from git again just to make sure. Just don't forget to backup the .cktp file.) That should fix the Python thing. (What a piece of poo poo.)

There is an "unlimited" mode, but you have to wait in line. You only pay credits to skip to the head of the line and render your images first. However there is a ten image limit in the queue, so he has to be logged in and hitting refresh manually on those images. Or maybe he made some custom bot to click for him!

More cool news in AI art (but not super relevant to goons)
Some Chinese researchers have made an open-source model trained on the actual Chinese language
https://huggingface.co/IDEA-CCNL/Taiyi-Stable-Diffusion-1B-Chinese-v0.1, paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.02970

Previously all the big models were English-language only, and non-multilingual fans in e.g. China and Japan were groping around in the dark, and doing stuff like organizing big "spellbooks" of poorly understood english language phrases to feed the AI with, with their meanings/effects written alongside them in CN.

The fact that they have apparently managed to retarget the trained-in-English stable diffusion to actually be usable in native Chinese is a big accessibility win for all the AI nerds in China who wanted to play with it.
