Introduction

My early investigations of AI with stable Diffusion. I will leave these early notes long past there date so my confusion can be seen and hopefully see some progression.

Using the GPU on My Windows 11 PC

I have downloaded the components to install the Stable Diffusion components. I installed Python but an early version (3.10.6) because I was told that it wouldn't work on the later versions, not sure how true that is but I did it anyway. I also installed github because it looks like that is required as well. The Stable Diffusion Web UI is Automatic1111 and if I want more models they have to match the Automatic1111 system.

Running In a Browser

The first model has been installed and works inside a browser. To start it going we need to open a command prompt or git bash (remember git bash is like Linux bash) and cd to

D:\stable-diffusion\stable-diffusion-webui

or if in the Git Bash

/d/stable-diffusion\stable-diffusion-webui

from here you can call the webui-user.bat script by typing the following command and pressing Enter

webui-user.bat

or if on Git Bash

./webui-user.bat

If there are updates

• The script will download any necessary updates and start the Web UI.

Once the process is complete, you'll see a message in the terminal with the local URL, Open the URL in your web browser. There shouldn't be any error messages but this still quite experimental so some update could easily break it.

Download another model

I also downloaded the comfyUI Windows portable cu126.7z.002 with models.zip.001 and followed instructions from https://github.com/YanWenKun/ComfyUI-Windows-Portable?tab=readme-ov-file. I named the directory comfyUIWindowsPortable however it would not extractfor the time being i will move on
