Great overview of installing and running stable diffusion locally, but judging by the issues in the comments I think it needs to cover what to do if a newer version of Python is already installed. I am an absolute beginner :) but the way I got around the PyTorch version issue was to install Python 3.10.6 to a different directory to my current python installation, selecting the Add to Path checkbox during installation. Then, before running webui-user.bat, I had to edit my user environment variables by selecting the Python 3.10.6 path and clicking the Move Up button so that it appeared before my Python 3.12 path in the list. Then stable diffusion could be installed OK, although I had to update my NVidia drivers before it would generate images. I hope this helps somebody!
Hey, My buddy you are my first teacher, you taught me how to get a witch out of TV😅. Thank you for everything. you did and have been doing.
I think knowing how to use these tools to get great output is the real magic. But I'm trying to make up for my lack of artist's skills, rather than using it for an ideas system. Very interested in any follow ups you do
I'm using this from long time, this is very powerful.
Thanx for this tutorial. On Linux it installs like a charm, there is a script that makes it easy, even with a higher version of python it works perfect 👌
Nice, hope youll cover more advanced topics like training and using custom models
Nice video thank you. But when I run web user sh it opens Xcode, I have mac. Also I tried changing to terminal but nothing happens.
Smart pick using Stable Diffusion and not the commercial/paid tools! 👏🏽👏🏽
Pay no attention to the unsubbers. I'm in the vfx field and aeeing content from a vfx artist trying to integrate ai into their workflow is good to see... because its exactly what the big studios are already doing. So the same short-sighted naysayers here are the same types who were yelling back in the day to shun the Photoshop artists...digital cameras and digital cinematographera...and any artist really who used the computer. Heard these types of complaints thru the years so many times...and they fade away quick because they get left behind. "Adapt or die" in our field has always been true, and still is.
Ai isn't going to take your artist job....an artist that knows how to properly use Ai is going to take your artist job. It's an uncomfortable fact, but it's happening.
Sorry but you are wrong. You can’t compare cameras, photoshop with ai. Does cameras used every painting to make photos? Was photoshop built on others people artwork?
„Adapt or die“ yes artists are adapting thats why ai techfirms getting sued.
And btw your „artist using ai“ will be gone very fast too. If ceos can easy use ai they don’t need an „ai artist“
The thing is though, photoshop and cameras still need talent and need to be used in combination with other skills like lighting, composition, framing, technique, colors, etc. All ai needs is a sentence, its a way different level of effort and very much not the same thing
Great video thank you but I'm having trouble downloading stable diffusion there is no webUI.bat file. There is one called webui-user and it's a windows batch file. When I try to open it windows 11 says defender smart screen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk. The only box I can take on is don't run or the close the window x button. I've installed python. any ideas .thanks
Hi! I got a very similar screen. It wouldn't show the "run anyway" button unless I clicked on the little v arrow to get more information. Once i clicked and it revealed a few lines of information about the name of the program, the button appeared. I guess Windows is trying to make you think harder before you run stuff?
Hi There!
Thanks for the great and easy to follow video.
I have a problem though and I hope you can help, when I run the webui-user (mine does not say .bat) it does say windows batch file after the date and time
So when run it I am getting "could not find a version that satisfies the requirements for torch==2.0.1 ( from versions: 2.2.0, 2.2.0+cu118, 2.2.1, 2.2.1+cu118)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch==2.0.1
Then some white text and ERROR code 1 press any key to continue, I press, it closes down... what have done wrong is my computer missing something to be able to run it? I'm not that technical, I only learn what I have to to do the things I want to do and I would love to try stable diffusion.
same
same.
Same issues.
Good thing he told people to leave comments so he could answer questions and then ignore them
Install an older version of Python and you'll be alright
I guess I'm not an absolute beginner! LOL I'm trying to come up with the more appropriate adjectives but somehow my choices are probably not considered acceptable language on TH-cam.
This was exactly what I was looking for to start, and I bet for others too. Thanks!❤
Glad it was helpful!
Please make a complete tutorial video on ComfyUI without dedicated GPU
I successfully entered the 8:50 webpage ui, but when importing v1-5-pruned-emaonly, I got an error Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0). Does anyone know what I should do?
hey, thanks for this amazing tutorial. I've been trying to follow the steps, but when I press run for webui-user.bat I met two errors: [1]installing torch and torch vision - where torch couldn't be fetched. [2] an error checking the latest version of pip. wondering if you have any experience on those two issues? thank you
Hm can’t say I have unfortunately. The failing to fetch sounds like a networking issue and the pip versioning seems like some local tools not working. What OS are you on?
I had the same issue. I just had to delete python 3.12 and install version 3.11.5 instead. Then I also had to install Git. But after that the script ran through.
It works for me now. I was just able to generate my first smiling cat 😸
Hehe, glad to hear you got it working!
If you need to have multiple versions of python running, you need to run the pip command like: `python -m pip --python \python.exe install pytorch`. Then in webui-user.bat, set the python variable to point to your python.exe
@@peculiarhumanbiped Thanks, it worked for me.
Never clicked faster on one of your videos
LOL! You definitely were FAST! 😀
@SurfacedStudio dad you keep comming 😊 i hope you're always fine
😊
I have tried several times and keep getting this message:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch==2.1.2 (from versions: 2.2.0, 2.2.0+cu121, 2.2.1, 2.2.1+cu121, 2.2.2, 2.2.2+cu121, 2.3.0, 2.3.0+cu121)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch==2.1.2
I get this same error message even if I try it on the 3.12.1 or 3.12.3 version of Python.
@@3sguitar It's telling me "This program is tested with 3.10.6 Python, but you have 3.12.3." I'm going to try uninstalling python and re-downloading the 3.10.6 version
Gotta remove the new version of Python, and pick a 3.10 version. Also remember to delete the venv folder in your stable diffusion ui folder, or else it will continue looking for your Python in a 3.12 folder (or whatever version you previously downloaded). When you double click the bat file to start again, it'll create a new venv folder with the new 3.10 location.
Does it need an external GPU to run Stable Diffusion? Can it be used without external GPUs?
I’ve never had an external GPU. You need a decent graphics card but you won’t need anything beyond what you can get in basic laptops and desktops
@@SurfacedStudio As I have only Integrated Intel GPU on my PC. Is it possible to run Stable Diffusion with HotshotXL on the existing system?
if I want to use ComfyUI, should I install Stable Diffusion XL Model either?
thank you
You can use any stable diffusion model you like with Comfy UI. What you "should" and "should not" isn't something I could tell you :)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you!!!
Welcome!
Wow. Thanks. I'm also interested in the video game you are working on.
Thanks! More to come :)
confusing. Web UI gives error that it was designed using python 3.10. So I deleted python 3.12.1 and installed 3.10
But now when running Web UI it says it cant find folder of python 3.12.1...which makes sense as I deleted it and installed 3.10 (which is in the proper Programs folder) but apparently this web UI is not compatible with python 3.10?
argh. any ideas? thanks
same here couldnt launch python
@@chrtsng3722 there are quite a few other videos with slightly different instructions on installing all this so I will try those. If I'm successful I'll let you know.
Do try installing python 3.10 directly to see if that works. Might have to uninstall 3.12 fully to be sure it’s only using the older version
@@SurfacedStudio i did that. Completely removed 3.12.1 and installed 3.10. I double checked that a 3.10 folder had been created in the Programs folder… but command prompt web ui says cant install as python 3.12.1. not found. Thats why I wondered if earlier version of web ui is needed instead but the list of past versions doesnt make it easy to see which is the correct to use. thanks. To confusing for me.
I think I found a fix. I had the same thing happen to me. I whet to C:\Users\(YOUR NAME)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python. then i changed the folder name from Python310 to Python312. I think it is looking for the new vision of Python even though it is incompatible so you have to trick it. If u cant tell i don't know much about Python lol. @@pixelkat1819
I follow the steps but looks like it's not working well with the last version of Python 3.12.3 because can't install it:
Couldn't launch python
exit code: 9009
stderr:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.
Launch unsuccessful. Exiting.
Press any key to continue . . .
I had this issue. Uninstalled that version of python and then installed python 3.10.6 and it worked.
@@Mirikashh This worked for me as well. You may need to delete 'venv' folder as well.
This work for Intel processor PC or just for AMD processor PC because can't find Torch file for Intel just AMD and Linux.
Works fine for intel / AMD processors. But you need to make sure your graphics card can handle it
@@SurfacedStudio I'm using: NVIDIA GeForce RTX3060 Laptop GPU
Nice
Thanks
Does this run on Mac?
If your Mac runs python then yes :)
I keep getting the error:

whenever i run the webui-user batch file, any ideas why?
‘Torch is not able to use GPU’. What graphics card do you have?
@@SurfacedStudio I got this issue as well - it seems to occur with AMD GPUs
The way you explained is perfect for a layman like me. Before coming to your video, I saw many, but none could make a layman understand sd so easily as you did. U deserve a line and su subscribe. Looking forward for more AI stuffs in simple language.
Thank you for the kind words! Very happy to hear you enjoy my way of teaching :)
When I try to open webui-user.bat file I get the message saying "No module named pip" and "Launch unsuccessful. Exiting."
Does anybody face the same issue? It happens when I use Python 3.11.5 as well as 3.12.3
do i need a graphics card?
An NVIDIA GPU is recommended, not sure you can run it without a graphics card altogether
it gives the torch error every solution I searched didn't help
Can you be more specific? “My car doesn’t start” is hard to diagnose via internet. Where is the error, what does it look like, what have you tried, what happened when you tried those solutions, what are you trying next?
wont launch the ui, says couldnt clone assets
What says couldn’t clone assets and where?
@@SurfacedStudio this is the most recent reply i could find, mine seems to download fine but becomes stuck once its 100% downloaded, just ssaying theyres 2.5gb/2.5gb ? eta: 0:00:00
Sounds like an issue with your internet or the connection?
Does anyone sell new PC's with Stable Diffusion installed...?
I don’t think that’s a thing. But I might be wrong, there seems to be a market for anything these days. It’s pretty easy to install yourself so not sure if people would pay for that
@@SurfacedStudio Thanks. May be easy for some but I see comments of many people having difficulties with installing.
This do not work with intel processor just AMD processor.

I'm running this on an Intel processor. Never used an AMD one so I'm not sure what your problem is?
Sounds more like your graphics card isn't strong enough? What GPU do you have?
@@SurfacedStudio I'm using: NVIDIA GeForce RTX3060 Laptop GPU
My generations all come out looking terrible. Just tons of weird stuff. Additional hands, legs, extra heads, weird psychedelic glitchiness all around, I can't get it working right at all to produce anything halfway useful.
Can anyone recommend a much dumber tutorial?
lol image if god did a copyright claim on humans.
So basically anyone with a Mac laptop won't be able to use it.
Why not? Mac can run python
@@SurfacedStudio Cool, just thought it would require a decent graphics card.
Mine is a lowly hardwired Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB.
You do need a decent graphics card as it runs on your GPU. That’s separate from whether you have a Mac or a windows or a Linux machine though :)
@@SurfacedStudio Thanks, I did a little research into connecting an external GPU rig into my Mac Mini but feel it will just be bottlenecking the GPU. So I'm going to upgrade my PC build instead, I've been spoiled by the glamorous life of low spec Macs. 😂
I’m new to Ai. What is program is suitable to make a rock music video with yourself part of it? I haven’t seen many
oh sweet, I though sdxl is paid
As free as the SD base model :)
very disappointed
cant trust anyone now a days. off to another video, we all the same problem. nice troll idk by who tho
Why do all of you think everyone is living under a rock because they don't know ai? Maybe people actually have skill and prefer to draw by hand or actually do photography, being able to put words in a prompt literally requires no talent.
There's a difference between 'not knowing AI' and 'not having heard of AI'. I think if you fall into the latter category and you've somehow come to this video then some news might have passed you by.
Also, do note that I deliberately never call it AI 'art' anywhere in this video. It generates AI images. Whether it's 'art' is a separate discussion
The words in the prompt is only the last little bit of making ai images if that was all I took every ai programmer wouldn't have a job
Also writing promt for ai takes a baseline understanding of the keywords the ai can understand kinda like people who edit photos in photoshop
Ugh AI? instant unfollow. get some morals.
Right
why did you submit your message online? get some morals. Mailmen also have to feed their families. Hypocrite
Why is this unethical? Do you mean this program? or AI in general?
You do realize, it's not really ai like in the movies, right ? It's another computer program, like all the other programs that your using, where programmers sat down and hard coded like 20% to 50%, and the rest of the code was completed by libraries of code the program has in its database, developed from humans in the past. Programmers have been doing this for decades, although it's not quite as easy for the coder as these programs are making it for general user... still, it's JUST a program that interprets a user's simplified code words and then references actions it should take based on those words.
These "ai" programs aren't exactly intelligent and are more like really decent at decoding adjectives and nouns, and then referencing a database of what to do with those words.
So, really, your "moral" opposition to this, is really towards computers in total, and you should go back to the 1940's before there were computers.
@tyrzxv lol lmao imagine being such a dork and defending this shit, yes I know it's not actual Ai like "the movies" I know it was programmed by unethical losers who don't have an imagination and train their loser program on other people's work to generate this shit.
Go touch grass.
Omg I'm so excited, a right-wing AI that's not censored and controlled by the disgusting left wing monsters, and it's totally decentralized, I love this, I'm gonna make so much money creating funny AI images haha. These guys that are developing these open-source tools are the real heroes.
Unfollow
Too much chit-chat - 4mins in and 'Install java' is all I've got!
Not sure what you’re watching but none of this video includes installing Java
Unsubbing.
Hello brother. I'm new to AI. I'm curious about why some people are claiming this to be unethical. Is it Stable Diffusion or AI in general? I'm new to this, can you give some insight? I want to know if I'm missing something before getting involved.
Its sad to seeing you promoting this unethical ai bullshit. Time to unsubscribe 😢
hahhahhhah youre a moron
Hey man, why is this unethical? I'm honestly curious, I'm just starting to search this. It's the first time I'm seeing someone say it's unethical. Can you recommend a video or channel about this?
It's just another program, like all other programs on your computer, that decodes words you give it, into actions. There is no real intelligence in these programs, and people are so attached to the "ai" buzzword without realizing that it's still just a program with a large database.
In a way, it's a bit hypocritical to say it's unethical, if your using a computer at all, since computers were unethical ways of creating art back in the day. Plus every program you use, was written by a coder in a more archaic form of this same technique that people are now calling "ai".
I try to installed again but looks like it's not working anymore with the recently version of Python:
