Installation on Apple Silicon

Important notes

While the web UI runs fine, there are still certain issues when running this fork on Apple Silicon. The only 2 samplers that work (at the time of writing this) are Euler and DPM2 - all others result in a black screen. Upscaling works, but only using the real-ESRGAN models.

People have also had issues completing the installation because they have previous installations of Python and/or Miniconda. This causes the script to be confused about where to install the environment and all related files.

Please follow this guide if this is the case.

Automatic installation

First, you need to install the required dependencies using Homebrew.

brew install cmake protobuf rust python git wget

The script can be downloaded from here, or follow the instructions below.

1. Open Terminal.app
2. Run the following commands:

$ cd ~/Documents/
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dylancl/stable-diffusion-webui-mps/master/setup_mac.sh -o setup_mac.sh
$ chmod +x setup_mac.sh
$ ./setup_mac.sh

3. Follow the instructions in the terminal window.

Usage

After installation, you'll now find run_webui_mac.sh in the stable-diffusion-webui directory. Run this script to start the web UI using ./run_webui_mac.sh. This script automatically activates the conda environment, pulls the latest changes from the repository, and starts the web UI. On exit, the conda environment is deactivated.
