Installation process:
(just copy and paste the commands into a terminal window, as described in the video)
Step1: Install homebrew (that's going to take a while):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Step 2: Install required packages:
brew install cmake protobuf rust
[email protected] git wget
Step 3: Install Stable Diffusion / Automatic1111:
git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
Step 4: Download the Stable Diffusion 1.5 Standard model and save it into the folder:
~/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion
Download link:
https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5/resolve/main/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.ckpt
Step 5: (optional): Download additional models from CivitAI:
https://civitai.com/
Step 6: edit ~/stable-diffusion-webui/webui-user.sh:
change line #COMMANLINE_ARGS="" into
export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--skip-torch-cuda-test --upcast-sampling --opt-split-attention"
Then save and close the file
Step 6.1: (ONLY if your Mac is low of memory, like 8GB RAM)
change line #COMMANLINE_ARGS="" into
export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--skip-torch-cuda-test --upcast-sampling --opt-split-attention --medvram"
or if that still doesn't work:
export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--skip-torch-cuda-test --upcast-sampling --opt-split-attention --lowvram"
Then save and close the file
-------------------------
Starting Automatic1111:
Open the terminal app and type:
cd ~/stable-diffusion-webui
./webui.sh
wait until you see the message:
Running on local URL: http://127.0.0.1:7860
Paste that URL into a browser and you are good to go!
DON'T CLOSE THE TERMINAL WINDOW!
To stop Automatic1111 hit CONTROL + c
To update Stable Diffusion Automatic1111 to a new version, type:
