Video Transcription

  • 00:00:01 Greetings everyone.

  • 00:00:02 In this video, I am going to show you how you can install, run and use famous Stable

  • 00:00:07 Diffusion web UI developed by Automatic1111 with two different ways.

  • 00:00:12 The first way I am going to show is using an open source installer exe just like in

  • 00:00:16 traditional applications we install.

  • 00:00:19 The second way will be manual installation of the web UI.

  • 00:00:22 This exe is developed by one of the Stable Diffusion community members Leo Mozoloa as

  • 00:00:28 can be seen here, this is his profile.

  • 00:00:31 Usually I do not trust any exes, however, this one is an open source application and

  • 00:00:36 you can compile it from the source code.

  • 00:00:38 You can also check all of the source code on the GitHub repository.

  • 00:00:41 This link I will put it in the description of the video and we can go inside the folders

  • 00:00:47 and see each one of the code it contains.

  • 00:00:53 Therefore in this case, we can trust it.

  • 00:00:55 So let's begin with downloading the installer exe.

  • 00:00:58 So where do we download it?

  • 00:00:59 We download it from the releases.

  • 00:01:02 The releases are displayed at the right as you can see here with my mouse.

  • 00:01:05 When I click it, I can see all of the releases.

  • 00:01:09 Just click the exe and it will start downloading.

  • 00:01:14 By the way, you may get a message like this.

  • 00:01:16 This exe is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous.

  • 00:01:20 If you see that just right click here and click.

  • 00:01:24 Keep OK.

  • 00:01:25 After the download has been completed, just go to your downloads folder.

  • 00:01:29 Right click the exe and run as administrator.

  • 00:01:32 It is important to run as administrator because this exe will download and install files.

  • 00:01:40 Don't worry about that because it is hosted on the GitHub repository.

  • 00:01:46 Also this application is now pinned by moderators of the stable diffusion community and also

  • 00:01:51 I have compiled myself this exe by using advanced installer application and I have verified

  • 00:01:59 it.

  • 00:02:00 This application you can also download trial and try, but it is not necessary for you.

  • 00:02:05 OK, now this is the installer exe beginning screen.

  • 00:02:08 We need to install Python and this exe will do that as well.

  • 00:02:13 So you see there is GIT and Python.

  • 00:02:15 I click next.

  • 00:02:18 It will do everything automatically for us.

  • 00:02:22 If you encounter any problem during following this tutorial, please go to our page YouTube

  • 00:02:29 page.

  • 00:02:30 Click about and here you will see our Discord channel.

  • 00:02:35 Just click it and join our Discord channel and ask me any questions, any problems that

  • 00:02:39 you encounter.

  • 00:02:41 The Python installation may take some time, so be patient with that.

  • 00:02:47 OK, so the Python installation and the git installation has been completed, so there

  • 00:02:53 are several options.

  • 00:02:55 You should pick clean install if you are going to override your existing or previous install.

  • 00:03:01 You should also click this box.

  • 00:03:04 Install SD checkpoint 1.5, version 1.5 and the newest vae.

  • 00:03:12 These are, I am explaining what are these in our another video.

  • 00:03:18 So if you are wondering what are these version 1.5 and new vae you can go to our channel.

  • 00:03:25 Click playlist and in here you will see stable diffusion dreambooth click that playlist and

  • 00:03:31 in here you see we have how to use SD 2.1 custom models on Google Colab or we have how

  • 00:03:38 to use stable diffusion 2.1 and different models in Web UI.

  • 00:03:42 This video actually will explain to you a lot regarding what are these.

  • 00:03:48 OK, so now I am going to pick the folder where I want to install.

  • 00:03:52 I want to install it inside my C drive.

  • 00:03:56 So I am clicking the three dots here to pick the folder.

  • 00:04:00 I am clicking C and in here I am clicking select.

  • 00:04:04 You see now it is selected in the root folder, but I need to have another folder.

  • 00:04:10 So I am going to type like a1111WebUI.

  • 00:04:15 OK and then I am clicking I understand and click install.

  • 00:04:22 Now it will also download the necessary files for me and we don't need to do anything manually.

  • 00:04:30 During the download, it doesn't show you any messages.

  • 00:04:34 However, if you open your task manager with right click and click task manager like here,

  • 00:04:40 you can go to ethernet and you can see how much download your computer is doing.

  • 00:04:46 As you see, currently I am downloading like 100 megabits, which is my maximum bandwidth.

  • 00:04:53 OK, after the file files has been downloaded, it will quickly install them and it will open

  • 00:05:00 the installed folder.

  • 00:05:03 As you can see, the folder is like this.

  • 00:05:05 Now we have launcher generated by our installer and we have the GitHub folder of the official

  • 00:05:14 Web UI.

  • 00:05:15 It is this one and it has automatically downloaded it for us and set it up.

  • 00:05:21 And we have the launcher shortcut icon.

  • 00:05:25 You can also pin this to taskbar, send it to your desktop, whatever you do.

  • 00:05:30 For example, I will send it to my desktop, send to desktop.

  • 00:05:34 And now in my desktop I have it and it has been installed.

  • 00:05:42 As you can see now, I am clicking finish and now we can run it from directly from the launcher.

  • 00:05:49 It is asking me asking me to do I want to launch the from its shell command?

  • 00:05:57 And I said yes.

  • 00:05:59 And now the shell command has been run and the automatic Web UI launcher has been started

  • 00:06:06 so we can do automatic update.

  • 00:06:09 As you can see, the arguments are getting setted it in the left.

  • 00:06:13 Automatic update extensions, clear generated images.

  • 00:06:15 You shouldn't pick this if you if you know what you if you're not sure what is this doing.

  • 00:06:21 Low VRAM.

  • 00:06:22 If your graphic card is lower than 8GB, then you should check this.

  • 00:06:27 I have RTX 3060.

  • 00:06:32 The RTX 3060 is a super card, super card for machine learning tasks.

  • 00:06:39 And I already have a video regarding that on my channel.

  • 00:06:44 If you wonder how powerful it is, you can check that video, this one and read the comments

  • 00:06:53 that people made.

  • 00:06:56 You should also click enable xformers.

  • 00:06:59 This enable xformers will improve your speed if your graphic card is supporting that.

  • 00:07:08 There are also optional checkpoint folders and default vae files.

  • 00:07:12 If you don't know this yet, you shouldn't change them.

  • 00:07:17 But if you want to learn more about them, just go to our page, click videos.

  • 00:07:23 And from here, find how to use stable diffusion version 2.1 and different models in the web

  • 00:07:29 UI video.

  • 00:07:30 This video will help you tremendously to understand them.

  • 00:07:33 I will also put a link of this into the description of the video.

  • 00:07:37 There are also additional launch options, and you can also type them.

  • 00:07:43 Currently only this one is typed.

  • 00:07:47 You should also type here.

  • 00:07:49 --no-half.

  • 00:07:50 This will make it work with stable diffusion version 2.1.

  • 00:07:57 And I am also explaining that in this video as well, how to use stable diffusion 2.1.

  • 00:08:03 And that's it.

  • 00:08:04 That's all we need to start.

  • 00:08:07 And then we click launch web UI.

  • 00:08:10 It is generating a virtual environment for Python.

  • 00:08:17 This is only first time initialization and you won't need it.

  • 00:08:21 So you see it has installed Python 3.10 version.

  • 00:08:28 This is one of the supported versions by the web UI 3.10.8.

  • 00:08:34 If you have different Python installations in your computer, it is fine.

  • 00:08:39 It will use the latest installed one because I am assuming that the web this installer,

  • 00:08:47 installer will set the default Python path in the environment variables.

  • 00:08:53 Now we are waiting it to install necessary other files, for example, torch and torch

  • 00:08:59 vision.

  • 00:09:00 These are necessary to run the stable diffusion model and generate images.

  • 00:09:07 OK, so the installation has been completed.

  • 00:09:11 You see, I don't have any error messages.

  • 00:09:13 This is really important.

  • 00:09:16 And then it will automatically start the web interface that we can do image generation

  • 00:09:24 and image manipulation with stable diffusion.

  • 00:09:27 OK, by the way, you need a decent graphic card to make it work with many of the features

  • 00:09:34 of this AI model.

  • 00:09:38 If you don't have such graphic card, then on our channel, you can go to playlists.

  • 00:09:45 And in here, click the stable diffusion and watch these transform your selfie and how

  • 00:09:53 to use SD 2.1 custom models on Google Colab.

  • 00:09:57 Both of the videos explaining how to use stable diffusion on a Google Colab notebook, which

  • 00:10:06 uses the GPU provided by the Google.

  • 00:10:10 So you don't need a strong GPU.

  • 00:10:12 However, in this tutorial, we are going to use our own computer's GPU.

  • 00:10:19 As you can see, my GPU is already being used a lot, but it is fine.

  • 00:10:24 Now everything is ready.

  • 00:10:26 First, we need to pick the model that we want to use, which is this one automatically downloaded

  • 00:10:33 and got ready for us.

  • 00:10:34 Now we can enter prompts and generate images and use all of all other features.

  • 00:10:43 So in this video, I will just generate one image.

  • 00:10:46 Okay, I have entered my prompt as like this and my negative prompt.

  • 00:10:51 I have selected the sampling sampler as DPM++ SDE Karras and other options are like default.

  • 00:11:00 If you want to learn more about this, please watch the other videos in the channel because

  • 00:11:06 these are all different things.

  • 00:11:10 I will also show one another thing.

  • 00:11:12 Just click this image and send to extras and in here you can upscale it.

  • 00:11:17 The one of the best upscaling algorithm I have found is R-ESRGAN 4x+ and let's upscale

  • 00:11:26 it to three times and just click generate.

  • 00:11:29 This will also download another necessary model file for R-ESRGAN 4x+.

  • 00:11:38 It is not very big as you can see.

  • 00:11:40 Then you will see it is generating the upscaled image and it is ready.

  • 00:11:45 When we click it now you see it is upscaled.

  • 00:11:49 Okay, so this is all for automatic installation with using the installer.

  • 00:11:55 Now I will show how you can install and run everything manually.

  • 00:12:03 Okay.

  • 00:12:04 The manual installation is tedious as you can imagine.

  • 00:12:07 First we are opening the GitHub repository of the stable diffusion web UI.

  • 00:12:12 I will put the link in the description.

  • 00:12:15 Then click code and from here click local and from here download as zip.

  • 00:12:20 This will download the entire folder and it is it has been downloaded pretty fast.

  • 00:12:26 Cut it and then go to the folder that you want to.

  • 00:12:30 You want to install it.

  • 00:12:31 So I will generate a new folder in C drive and let's say webUI2 okay and paste it in

  • 00:12:42 there.

  • 00:12:44 And in here right click and extract here.

  • 00:12:47 This is a zip file.

  • 00:12:49 Okay I will cut and everything inside inside here and I will paste them inside here.

  • 00:12:56 Okay by the way, whenever the source code gets updated in this repository, you have

  • 00:13:04 to manually update it.

  • 00:13:06 It won't be updated automatically.

  • 00:13:10 Okay so to make this work, we need to have installed python.

  • 00:13:15 So how we are going to install python.

  • 00:13:18 The suggested python version is python 3.10.6 and when you click it it will open all of

  • 00:13:26 the python versions.

  • 00:13:27 Do not download the latest python because it won't work.

  • 00:13:32 Some of the things are not compatible with the latest version.

  • 00:13:37 So from here we go to we are going to search control-F 3.10.6 here and from here we go

  • 00:13:54 to files and from here click windows installer 64 bit it will get installed.

  • 00:14:00 Currently I have this installed but we can reinstall it.

  • 00:14:04 I am going to show in folder right.

  • 00:14:06 Click and run as administrator.

  • 00:14:10 Okay and in here you see there are install now and customize installation and add python

  • 00:14:17 to add python to path.

  • 00:14:19 This is important.

  • 00:14:20 If you don't make this, it won't work.

  • 00:14:23 Okay I will click customization.

  • 00:14:25 Everything is selected next.

  • 00:14:27 Then you can pick the folder where you want to install.

  • 00:14:30 I want to install it in C drive with version 2 like this and you can also click precompile.

  • 00:14:40 Okay this should be enough sufficient.

  • 00:14:42 Click install.

  • 00:14:43 Okay you see I have an error because another version of this product is already installed.

  • 00:14:49 Okay I am uninstalling the pythons version 3.11.0 and 3.10.8.

  • 00:14:58 This is the one that has been installed by the automatic installer and then we will manually

  • 00:15:04 install this one to demonstrate.

  • 00:15:09 Okay both python versions has been uninstalled, so let's install 3.10.8 version.

  • 00:15:17 Okay which is here I am clicking it I am clicking the download.

  • 00:15:21 I will also put a link of this into the description show in folder right click run as administrator.

  • 00:15:29 Okay you add python exe to path customize installation.

  • 00:15:34 Next, let's pick the folder to install.

  • 00:15:37 Okay let's name it like this: precompile.

  • 00:15:41 Okay install.

  • 00:15:42 Okay now getting installed.

  • 00:15:45 Hopefully it won't cause any errors.

  • 00:15:53 Okay the python has been installed successfully.

  • 00:15:55 Let's first verify it.

  • 00:15:58 Open a command line window with typing cmd.

  • 00:16:02 Like this command, prompt, enter and in here just type python.

  • 00:16:08 Okay you see my default python is 3.9.9 therefore, it may not work and it will not work actually.

  • 00:16:19 So I have to fix it from environment variables.

  • 00:16:22 If you if you didn't have any installed python, then it should automatically work for you.

  • 00:16:29 So I am going to add I'm going to add it to my edit path and in here I am going to move

  • 00:16:38 I am going to add my new installation.

  • 00:16:41 Actually it is on the top so probably I need to change the path here.

  • 00:16:47 Okay let's see the newest installation is not here, so click new and from here.

  • 00:16:53 Click browse in here.

  • 00:16:55 Go to C drive where we installed it.

  • 00:16:58 We installed it in let's see python.

  • 00:17:02 Yeah, in here first selected.

  • 00:17:06 Move it to the top.

  • 00:17:09 Okay then I will just edit this actually the bottom one.

  • 00:17:20 Okay for editing, click edit and click browse and go.

  • 00:17:27 Okay in here python and in here I'm selecting scripts okay, click okay, click okay and you

  • 00:17:37 need to open another cmd command prompt window type python.

  • 00:17:43 Okay now you see my default python is 3.10.8.

  • 00:17:51 Now we are ready to move to the next step.

  • 00:17:55 So I am entering the folder where I have extracted the GitHub files and in here first I need

  • 00:18:02 to edit web user.bat file.

  • 00:18:05 Right click it and click edit I need to add 2 command line arguments.

  • 00:18:11 The arguments we need to add are --xformers space character and --no-half and then click

  • 00:18:21 save.

  • 00:18:22 Okay now we are ready to launch the interface.

  • 00:18:26 We are going to webui-user.bat and it will generate first a virtual environment as same

  • 00:18:34 as in the previous methodology.

  • 00:18:38 Okay the installation has been completed, but we have an error.

  • 00:18:44 The error is that it says that we don't have any model to run the stable diffusion.

  • 00:18:50 So first we need to download and install our model.

  • 00:18:56 As I have already said multiple times, I am fully explaining different models and how

  • 00:19:03 to use them with the web ui in this tutorial video.

  • 00:19:09 So from here I am going to click official repository actually not official repository.

  • 00:19:18 So let's download not the official model, but let's download anything v3 model: this

  • 00:19:26 is a very famous model and from here I am going to click anything v3.

  • 00:19:34 I will use the pruned file.

  • 00:19:36 Okay, just download it alternatively, you can also download the official version just

  • 00:19:44 click stable diffusion.

  • 00:19:46 Actually, this could be hard.

  • 00:19:48 So in google, just type stable diffusion version 1.5 if you type it to the google, it will

  • 00:19:57 bring you the hugging face page.

  • 00:19:59 From here and from here click files and versions and from here click v1-5-pruned.ckpt and from

  • 00:20:12 here click download it will get downloaded like this as you can see.

  • 00:20:17 Okay, once downloads has been completed, go to your downloads folder, select the files,

  • 00:20:24 click cut, and then go back to the installation folder of the web ui and in here go to models

  • 00:20:34 folder and in here go to stable diffusion folder and this is the place where you are

  • 00:20:42 going to paste, put your full models that you have downloaded.

  • 00:20:46 I am explaining everything in the other video that I have mentioned and then go back to

  • 00:20:51 web user dot file.

  • 00:20:55 Okay, I'm closing the other command windows and this time it will be much faster because

  • 00:21:02 the initial step has been completed.

  • 00:21:04 You see it is launching the web ui with the arguments minus minus xformers and minus minus

  • 00:21:10 no half.

  • 00:21:13 Okay, okay so it is ready, but you see it didn't open me any pages.

  • 00:21:20 So you need to type this into your browser or you can copy and paste it.

  • 00:21:25 I am selecting it with my mouse right click actually right click not working.

  • 00:21:29 You need to select it with your mouse, then control-c it will copy it and then you need

  • 00:21:35 to paste it into your browser and it will get opened.

  • 00:21:40 Currently it is running.

  • 00:21:42 Let's generate a new image with the same prompt.

  • 00:21:46 I will post this prompt into the comments section of the video.

  • 00:21:51 I am selecting DPM++ SDE Karras this is the sampling method and this is one of the good

  • 00:22:01 ones that I have found.

  • 00:22:02 Then click, generate and and you you are seeing that it is generating each step.

  • 00:22:10 You will see the progress here and also here.

  • 00:22:12 Okay, the image has been generated, but you see this is pretty different than the first

  • 00:22:19 example.

  • 00:22:20 Why?

  • 00:22:21 Because currently it is using anything v3 model.

  • 00:22:25 However, in the previous example, we were using version 1.5 which was the official version.

  • 00:22:32 If I change back model to that version and generate another image, let's see what we

  • 00:22:38 are going to get and this is what we get with the official 1.5 version model.

  • 00:22:45 Okay, this is all for today.

  • 00:22:48 Please subscribe our channel and follow our videos because I am planning to make a full

  • 00:22:55 course regarding stable diffusion with explaining pretty much everything about it.

  • 00:23:01 You can see it in our playlist in the stable diffusion.

  • 00:23:06 I will put them with an order.

  • 00:23:09 I am generating videos both for Google Colab and that will run on your computer.

  • 00:23:16 To make it run on your computer, you need a decent graphic card.

  • 00:23:20 You see, even my RTX 3060 is struggling a little bit.

  • 00:23:29 So therefore, if you don't have a strong GPU you can use Google Colab or other services,

  • 00:23:35 but they are a little bit harder to use than installing on your computer.

  • 00:23:41 Please also consider liking sharing this video, subscribing, and also supporting us on patreon.

  • 00:23:50 This will enable us to continue produce more high quality videos in the future.

  • 00:23:55 Currently, we still have zero patrons, but I am hoping that you will be the first one.

  • 00:24:01 Hopefully see you in another video.
