img2img.py FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2]

[ThreeTwoBravo]

I'm a Linux noob so I've more than likely for my path wrong, anyone able to help on this? I have a "inputs" sub folder/directory in my stable diffusion directory and using this to point to the img:

python scripts/img2img.py --prompt "highly detailed,charcoal portrait" --init-img inputs/00030.png --strength 0.8

but get this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model.ckpt'

It seems the problem here is not that you are referencing to images in an "inputs" folder, but that you have not properly installed the model weights. In the stable-diffusion README, they explain that after your obtain the stable-diffusion-v1-*-original weights you must link them to the models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/ folder under the name model.ckpt. For more information on how to properly install the weights, see the reference sampling script section of the README.

@ryanirl thanks for the reply. Bit confused here, I am able to run txt2img outputs so pretty sure I have all the weights. I already have models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/ just no model.ckpt

Do navigate to stable-diffusion-v1/ in the terminal and then run ln -s <path/to/model.ckpt> models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model.ckpt ?

@ryanirl just got this working. I did have the weights, just had rename it from sd-v1-4.ckpt to model.ckpt and move to stable-diffusion-v1. Thanks again for the reply.

One little tip: when creating the symbolic link you have to use an absolute path to the sd-v1-4.ckpt and not a relative one - I made that mistake at first.

@Quasimondo just ran into that! @CompVis I think that should definitely be documented, since it isn't clear.

I've got the same issue, however I'd already downloaded the sd-v1-4.ckpt, renamed it to model.ckpt, and have moved it to the models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1 folder which I'd created. However I'm still getting the "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model.ckpt'" error each time I try running the image. Any ideas?

[Quasimondo]

You could add a print(os.path.abspath(ckpt)) before the load model line and see if it tries to load it from a different path.

I could not find the weights we are they?
There is no file like sd-v1-4.ckpt, or there is no drive link for the model.
Am I missing something??

If you're looking at this tutorial:
https://www.howtogeek.com/830179/how-to-run-stable-diffusion-on-your-pc-to-generate-ai-images/

Then you missed the step of adding the model to the directory that you created. Make sure you change the name of the file to "model.ckpt"
