This has repeatedly shown itself useful in fixing install issues,
especially regarding pytorch CPU/GPU version, so there is little
downside to making this the default.
Performance impact of this should be negligible. Packages will
be reinstalled from pip cache if possible, and downloaded only if
necessary. Impact may be felt on slower disks.
Organise deps into ~3 categories:
- Core generation dependencies, pinned for reproducible builds.
- Core application dependencies, pinned for reproducible builds.
- Auxiliary dependencies, pinned only if necessary.
I pinned / bumped these to latest:
- `controlnet_aux`
- `fastapi`
- `fastapi-events`
- `huggingface-hub`
- `numpy`
- `python-socketio`
- `torchmetrics`
- `transformers`
- `uvicorn`
I checked the release notes for these and didn't see any breaking changes that would affect us. There is a `fastapi` breaking change in v108 related to background tasks but it doesn't affect us.
I tested on a fresh venv. The app still works and I can generate on macOS.
Hopefully, enforcing explicit pinned versions will reduce the issues where people get CPU torch.
It also means we should periodically bump versions up to ensure we don't get too far behind on our dependencies and have to do painful upgrades.
In other words, build frontend when creating installer.
Changes to `create_installer.sh`
- If `python` is not in `PATH` but `python3` is, alias them (well, via function). This is needed on some machines to run the installer without symlinking to `python3`.
- Make the messages about pushing tags clearer. The script force-pushes, so it's possible to accidentally take destructive action. I'm not sure how to otherwise prevent damage, so I just added a warning.
- Print out `pwd` when prompting about being in the `installer` dir.
- Rebuild the frontend - if there is already a frontend build, first checks if the user wants to rebuild it.
- Checks for existence of `../build` dir before deleting - if the dir doesn't exist, the script errors and exits at this point.
- Format and spell check.
Other changes:
- Ignore `dist/` folder.
- Delete `dist/`.
**Note: you may need to use `git rm --cached invokeai/app/frontend/web/dist/` if git still wants to track `dist/`.**
