Installation

These instructions are for getting started with SDPaint on a Windows machine. Assuming you started from no experience with SD, and some experience with GitHub.

Clone These repos:

1.) This Tool

git clone https://github.com/houseofsecrets/SdPaint

2.) The AI models

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet-v1-1
  • Note: The large files in the huggingface repo requires running git lfs install before cloning. Details at https://git-lfs.com/
  • The .pth files in this directory should each be ~1.4GB after the git clone is done. If they are only ~2KB in file size, then git lfs install needs to be ran before cloneing again.

3.) stable-diffusion-webui

git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

  • Follow the instructions to install the Web UI for Windows. It can be used independently, and will install Stable Diffusion.

Setup

You should now have the following folders:

Run the Web UI by launching stable-diffusion-webui\webui-user.bat

The first time will also install SD so you can use this independently if you wish.

The Web UI is now running locally. In a browser, visit the default address at http://127.0.0.1:7860

WebUI_First_Open

In the Web UI, navigate to the "Extensions Tab" and go to the "Install from URL" tab. Then add the extension from https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet

Nothing will seem to happen, but if you go back to the "Installed" tab, it should say "processing". Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 12 43 43 PM

Press the "Check for Updates" button, just in case. Then press the "Apply and Restart UI". Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 12 45 04 PM

Once reloaded, navigate to the Settings of the Web UI. Open the ControlNet settings and look for "Allow other script to control this extension" and enable it. Apply settings. Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 12 45 53 PM

Close the Web UI and the terminal window running the process. For extra certainty, restart your computer, but it should not be needed unless some background process is stuck or you are unsure how to reload it.

Move the .pth files from the AI models folder ControlNet-v1-1 To the folder at stable-diffusion-webui\extensions\sd-webui-controlnet\models

Also ensure that each .pth file has a matching .yaml file (the names must be the same except for the extension)

Create a copy of the launch file stable-diffusion-webui\webui-user.bat and name it webui-user-api.bat

Edit your new file in a text editor (notepad is fine)

Change the line set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= to read: set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --api

Usage

Launch the Web UI with your API enabled launch file stable-diffusion-webui\webui-user-api.bat

Note: You need to wait until the "Startup time:" is shown in the terminal before it is ready to be used.

Launch SDPaint from the file SdPaint\Start.bat This will create a venv and install a few packages the very first time. Then it will open the canvas.

With the basics launched and ready, you should have the two terminal windows running the processes and the one SD Paint program window. You can safely minimize the terminal windows, but remember to close them when you are done to free up system memory.

Web interface

image

Alternatively, you can use web interface. Just run SdPaint\StartWeb.bat. After creating virtual environment and installing packages it will open interface in your default browser. More in this instruction

Configuration

Configuration is OS agnostic. See the README for configuration instructions.
