Installation Instructions

Follow the steps below to set up and run the customized Stable Diffusion Web UI:

Step 1: Set Up Conda Environment

1. Create a Conda environment with Python 3.11:

   conda create -n python3.11 python=3.11 -y

2. Activate the Conda environment:

   conda activate python3.11

3. Install pip:

   conda install pip -y
   pip install --upgrade pip

Step 2: Clone the Repository

1. Clone the customized repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tamu-edu/TAMUAI-stable-diffusion.git

2. Navigate to the repository directory:

   cd TAMUAI-stable-diffusion

Step 3: Install Dependencies

1. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Place your model files in the appropriate directory:

   • For example, v2-1_768-ema-pruned.ckpt and v2-1_512-ema-pruned.ckpt should be placed in:

     models/Stable-diffusion/

Step 4: Launch the Web UI

Option 1: Launch Directly with Python

1. Run the application:

   python launch.py

2. If running without a GPU, use the following command:

   python launch.py --no-half --api --listen --skip-torch-cuda-test

Option 2: Use webui.sh Script

1. Replace the default webui-user.sh with the Conda-specific version:

   mv webui-user.sh webui-user.sh-bak
   mv webui-user.sh-conda webui-user.sh

2. Edit webui-user.sh and update the Python path:

   python_cmd="/path/to/conda/env/python"

   Replace /path/to/conda/env/python with your Python executable path.

3. Start the Web UI:

   ./webui.sh
