1. resize installer window to give more room for configure and download forms
2. replace '\' with '/' in directory names to allow user to drag-and-drop
folders into the dialogue boxes that accept directories.
3. similar change in CLI for the !import_model and !convert_model commands
4. better error reporting when a model download fails due to network errors
5. put the launcher scripts into a loop so that menu reappears after
invokeai, merge script, etc exits. User can quit with "Q".
6. do not try to download fp16 of sd-ft-mse-vae, since it doesn't exist.
7. cleaned up status reporting when installing models
- Detect when install failed for some reason and print helpful error
message rather than stack trace.
- Detect window size and resize to minimum acceptable values to provide
better display of configure and install forms.
- You can now achieve several effects:
`invokeai-configure`
This will use console-based UI to initialize invokeai.init,
download support models, and choose and download SD models
`invokeai-configure --yes`
Without activating the GUI, populate invokeai.init with default values,
download support models and download the "recommended" SD models
`invokeai-configure --default_only`
As above, but only download the default SD model (currently SD-1.5)
`invokeai-model-install`
Select and install models. This can be used to download arbitrary
models from the Internet, install HuggingFace models using their repo_id,
or watch a directory for models to load at startup time
`invokeai-model-install --yes`
Import the recommended SD models without a GUI
`invokeai-model-install --default_only`
As above, but only import the default model
1. The invokeai-configure script has now been refactored. The work of
selecting and downloading initial models at install time is now done
by a script named invokeai-initial-models (module
name is ldm.invoke.config.initial_model_select)
The calling arguments for invokeai-configure have not changed, so
nothing should break. After initializing the root directory, the
script calls invokeai-initial-models to let the user select the
starting models to install.
2. invokeai-initial-models puts up a console GUI with checkboxes to
indicate which models to install. It respects the --default_only
and --yes arguments so that CI will continue to work.
3. User can now edit the VAE assigned to diffusers models in the CLI.
4. Fixed a bug that caused a crash during model loading when the VAE
is set to None, rather than being empty.
- Adds an update action to launcher script
- This action calls new python script `invokeai-update`, which prompts
user to update to latest release version, main development version,
or an arbitrary git tag or branch name.
- It then uses `pip` to update to whatever tag was specified.
- This makes the launcher options menu on Windows look and act the same
as the Linux/Mac launcher, which previously was lacking the command-line
help option and didn't list item (6) as an option.
- help users to avoid glossing over per-platform prerequisites
- better link colouring
- update link to community instructions to install xcode command line tools
- To ensure a clean environment, the installer will now detect whether a
previous .venv exists in the install location, and move it to .venv-backup
before creating a fresh .venv.
- Any previous .venv-backup is deleted.
- User is informed of process.
- Rename configure_invokeai.py to invokeai_configure.py to be
consistent with installed script name
- Remove warning message about half-precision models not being
available during the model download process.
- adjust estimated file size reported by configure
- guesstimate disk space needed for "all" models
- fix up the "latest" tag to be named 'v2.3-latest'
if reinstalling over an existing installation where the .venv
was created with symlinks to system python instead of copies
of the python executable, the installer would raise a
SameFileError, because it would attempt to copy Python over
itself. This fixes the issue.
