Installing Stable Diffusion Forge

hello there my name is Vladimir and welcome to my YouTube channel in this video we're going to look how to install the forge stable diffusion which is supposed to be very fast rendering better than automatic and 1111 it still have all best features of automatic 1111 but it's also included now buildin um extensions like control net animated diff in more all of this build in now you can use it and supposed to be work quite bit fast until tell you true in my testing it did perform faster due to optimizations and best of all it is easier to install so let's look how we can do that first you need to go to the link to download it the P all links that will I mention and a little bit more will be down below in the description be sure to check this okay first we need to go to the path for the hour it's the same who did other P control net and you'll know notice right here we have it our download just scroll down to all the stuff till you're going to the installing Forge and installing Forge you have two options one easy way you just go click and downloaded one click package which is included all necessary files however it does not include models and we'll look on this a little bit later how to install models as well but it will include all necessary files for you to just start working on this okay or if you prefer you can try to install manually for this you can click on another animation and going inside um another instructions sorry I was lost for a second okay go to another instructions and right here you can see follow the instructions get remote add all this install manually and see how it's work but to install manually of course you will need have a git installed in a machine and definitely you'll need have it python install again links down below for you there and as well you can look on some additional models if you need it but this is a harder way to do this is for those who like to control and see precisely what's happening and if you're not that familiar I would recommend for you try to avoid to do that okay in this case here we have our GID and python already included inside the file and you click and downloaded package the package will download it in compress format 7z so for this you'll need have or windzip or some other application to extract so after you open it just straightforward um in install in the folder you wanted and for example right here you can see I created Forge SD folder and it just dump everything if you work before we stable diffusion you find some of the structure very very familiar with this because in this we have web UI what it does it's create upper level of the folders with additional system files and right here you can see in system files we have it our git we have it our python which is kind of nice to have your own different version of the Python not uh dependent on other versions you may be used with other applications um it's plus and minus it will take additional space on your computer however it will allow your flexibility to updated maintenance in beded versions and in the case if something going wrong you always can revert beside because it's self-installed in One Directory you can literally take this directory and move in different places okay we have it our system on the top if you look below right here we have it web UI and this is web UI where we familiar with some extensions models control net and other options well let's look a little bit closer on this so right here you can see we have a our extensions as usual but we also have it buildin extensions this is a little bit different folder that will have it all those extensions that come with installations of the forge and by by the way the name Forge come from people who like M Minecraft Forge and they kind of kick out a Minecraft and keep it forg there okay and Below we have it models this is important uh moment to kind of pay attention the models located there it's where we're going to put it our z123 we have it SVD you can put your models and most importantly in stable diffusion you can put it uh models for the Our Generation checkpoints and as well down below right sorry about we have it control net where put it control net models you can copy and put them there if you don't have it or you can actually spit FY if you have an other installation installed in your configuration file same like you done with um normal automatic 1111 installations okay let's scroll down and back to our installation see what's happening so after this you can go through comparison and then showing how faster it's performed take less memory so it is optimizing and very good um documentation here because it's actually provide more interesting information for us to tell what they actually done why it's work fast and it is primarily with optimization scode and loading properly uh memory management as well scripts notice we have it also there are some attention to the flags those ones can go in your configuration file and configuration files mostly will located uh in couple places one if you notice for H CD you have a two run and update but but update but you'll need to this update batch files you need run before actually you start running run because it's will go and it is prefer check and validate if the installations and everything is there what you needed let's look at our notepad what is inside and right here you can see we have it called environmental so it's download all installations where for example python like git and all this stuff next we have it um reset and this is command for the git one reset to the H uh to repository so it's going to destroy if anything was there okay it's reset hard to the top and any changes of yours and after it's pulled the latest code from this so it's all what it actually does with update file it's be sure that you get it the latest code you can use it okay and next we'll going to our run batch file okay let's go look very fast here we'll go in the notepad and you can see all what we do here again it will execute our environmental so it's preset where your python where is your git and all stuff set and after we actually going and run web UI user badge same things what you do if you work with the normal automatic 1111 installations and a web user badge files we go inside you can see you have it your environmental settings you have it your um home for the automatic 11 11 so it can go and read all your models if you have it here by the way it will be empty and you can put it in your own code here or for the control net you can put in another place but we'll look later but this is your automatic 1111 installations and depend on your path uh pay attention to the path because it's like right here it's have it Forward slashes instead backwards slashes so this is kind of important pay attention and also if you like to ride in a dark theme mode is will you need add this command to your command arguments theme dark and if you have it some older flag you may be us it inside the camand arguments before use them again refer I will recommend refer to this documentation because right here you can see some of them was removed so some command files mid VI Ram all this health and all this other ones was removed and they don't pay attention as well if you're going down you'll notice was add additional some Flags whiches can work faster even faster from there but the with some possibility of crushing these applications okay of course we will have some additional options and properties well flags that you can use in your configurations other flags like API D- API so the Photoshop can access to your stable diffusion still be active and you can still use them if you don't familiar with some of those uh elements I will provide link down below to my other videos where we work more in depth with phatic 1111 installation on stable diffusion so you can kind of preview and see what those flags do but don't worry I'm also going to create more videos about this again going more in a depth with little bit uh hardcore more kind of figure out with some of those extensions how they work and what we can do this and of course we can scroll down and see it's how I say it's very nice they provide all information what was done why it's work faster and you'll notice right here additional patches you have a stable video diffusion as well um Integrations here okay let's go down below this is for your 01 to3 remember I show you where you can put it the model inside the S say it's model is not included it would be nice if um we'll have it some specific code or execution command where you can just run and download it all models that you're missing inside here that will be kind of nice maybe for the future developing okay this is our control net and a few things want to show you'll notice we have control net install it we also have it our new features that is not original in web UI which is included in here by default which is kind of cool and of course we have an IP adapter we can have it mask we can play with this little bit later and you can see with mask we can apply nicely image like for example portrait between two people and other things applied you have it your canning this kind of old but this is MK kind of cool how it's work we can play with this little bit later as well we have a photo maker and it's depends some people like face swap some people like photomaker better so they kind of both work uh somewhat okay but I prefer uh face swap a little bit better but again for the maker is there natively and you can start using this okay so and this is more stuff now let's go ahead and actually looking how it's work right here you'll notice we have our running very very familiar look interface automatic 1111 only maybe we can say it is running on the steroids okay right here I have it K Bonnie you just type in and if we look down below you'll notice we have it our anime div control net integration also here below we have it threshold free UI um hyper I mean all all of these very cool extensions that come with this and we can also utilize them as well with control net Integrations you notice you will have it blur IP adapter again it's what we look before when you can split images you also have it your photo maker here as well open noise if you don't have it all models properly located in the sub folders and everything what will happen like for example if you go on Photo Maker you notice your prayer processor will load it but because models does not include it you will be missing here on the models it will be empty and you cannot run and and actually it's will probably stay like this where's a none none like this what will showing so in this case if you see this probably you missing some models and you want downloaded them you can download it from hugging face or a CVI up to you where you prefer downloading but you will need it have this and you also need place them in folders for example in a models if you get web UI models and again this is if you don't have a specific specify path for the Your Existence control net you'll need to put it in a control net sub folder this is where your control net uh related models going and if you look right below z123 it's where you put at your Z1 123 here SVD for example right here the download steple 0123 so you can put it in there actually it should go down there below and next we have also stable diffusion where you can obviously take your models or uh checkpoints and put them here so it's kind of similar well very similar very same what we have before the difference only you'll notice we have it buildin extension and some of those buildin extension we have it preprocessors already there so this is only the different if you look overall your outputs and everything as that same before you will specify for this you can go inside the settings here directory and you can go down um to control net and then control net you can also specify extra path inside here where is locating where is located Your Existence for example if you have it already install automatic 1111 and you have it control net models there you don't want them copy on this so you can just share this path and as well read and take models from that place so you can do this way as well okay so after extensions if you change any modifications you can click apply restart um in extensions if you want to install anything it's the same things as done before right here you can see I install the form and I install automated div so you can have a different ways as well uh let's just test right here you can see we have it Kung Fu uh dog let's go Kung Fu dog type right there we'll click on generate and it's generating quite a bit fast actually now you can see much better performance everything so you can play more around overall I will say this is a very similar environment very similar everything install it's very easy just with one unpack and put everything there in all configurations everything ready the only stumble possibly it's on the models because it does not come with models and you need download them separate but remember you can put it in the same place as you're doing in automatic 1111 in the models areas or with control net and search area as well you can specify in a path well we're going to research a little bit work a little bit more in the future I'm going to explore all these additional properties like control net um work with the photos and other things so I I think we have a lot of fun in the future so stick around be sure you subscribe like um let me know what you think again links down below thank you have a great day and see you next time
