I'm sure this is NOT the best approach but this worked for me on Windows.

Assuming you already have the original Fooocus 7z file downloaded, installed and working.

Close Fooocus if its running.
cd into the parent folder that contains Foooccus / python-embeded / run.bat
git clone https://github.com/MoonRide303/Fooocus.git Fooocus-MoonRide

duplicate run.bat to run-moonride.bat

Copy (or move) your models folder from Fooocus/models to Fooocus-MoonRide/models

edit run-moonride.bat and change Fooocus to Fooocus-MoonRide

double click the run-moonride.bat

@That-Dude To be honest I simply use python .\launch.py from Anaconda PowerShell launched in main Fooocus directory - worked fine for the original Fooocus repository, and works for this little fork of mine, too :).

If you already have working Python environment, then don't bother - Anaconda is Python distribution popular among data scientists, but it has its own quirks (managing depencies using conda can be pain in the back, for example). What I really meant is that I simply use python to execute launch.py, and it works fine. I didn't even download Fooocus archive, just the repo from the github - I already had SDXL model files, so I hardlinked them to proper Fooocus directories, and that was all :).

Forgot to thank That-Dude His instruction save me some hairs

Hello, my first contact with FOC saw your modified version, and I especially like it. I don't know how to start it (I saw the novice tutorial, but I don't understand Anaconda PowerShell at all). I decompressed the downloaded compressed file and replaced the original FOC. It can also work. Now I have a few questions for you to answer, thank you
1 Does it affect the use of such replacement files? For example, some settings are missing? Do two versions have to coexist?
2 I will replace it and run it again. Is it automatically updated? Is it the original FOC or your modified version?
3 Is the version of the replacement file unavailable after the update? For example, change back to the original FOC?

@aimarxjg I am planning to prepare standalone package for Fooocus MRE, similar to vanilla Fooocus - it will be easier to use for less experienced users, then. Should be ready within next couple of days.

In general it's safe to use both version from same folder. Personally I switch between versions using git - you can add new remote repository like that:

git remote add moonride https://github.com/MoonRide303/Fooocus-MRE.git

then you fetch information from it:

git fetch moonride

and then you can just switch between different branches from different remote repositories. Switching to Fooocus MRE:

git checkout moonride-main

and getting back to vanilla:

git checkout main

Changes in files that are not tracked by git are ignored.

@aimarxjg I've prepared standalone package for Fooocus-MRE, you can download it from here : Fooocus-MRE-v1.0.40.7z. Please let me know, if it works for you.

Thank you for informing me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you~

Should be easy enough to use even for people who never touched git, Python and pip - you can just download the archive, and run the .bat. Closing.
