1. Added a big fat warning to the Windows installer to tell user
to install Visual C++ redistributable.
2. Added a bit fat warning to the automated installer doc to
tell user the same thing.
3. Reordered entries on the table-of-contents sidebar for installation
to prioritize the most important docs.
4. Moved older installation documentation into deprecated folder.
5. Moved developer-specific installation documentation into the
developers folder.
* add logic for finding the root (runtime) directory
This commit fixes the root search logic to be as follows:
1) The `--root_dir` command line argument
2) The contents of environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT
3) The VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable, plus '..'
4) $HOME/invokeai
(3) is the new feature. Since we are now recommending to install
InvokeAI and its dependencies into the .venv in the root directory,
this should be a reliable choice.
* make installer scripts more robust
This commits improves the installer .sh and .bat scripts in the following
ways:
1. They now handle folder/directory names containing spaces.
2. Pip will be installed into the .venv using the `ensurepip`
module.
This addresses issues identified by @vargol in Issue #1941
* add --prefer-binary option to pip install
* fix unset variable crash
* add patch level to zip file name
* Fix crash introduced in #1948
* partially working simple installer
* works on linux
* fix linux requirements files
* read root environment variable in right place
* fix cat invokeai.init in test workflows
* fix classical cp error in test-invoke-pip.yml
* respect --root argument now
* untested bat installers added
* windows install.bat now working
fix logic to find frontend files
* rename simple_install to "installer"
1. simple_install => 'installer'
2. source and binary install directories are removed
* enable update scripts to update requirements
- Also pin requirements to known working commits.
- This may be a breaking change; exercise with caution
- No functional testing performed yet!
* update docs and installation requirements
NOTE: This may be a breaking commit! Due to the way the installer
works, I have to push to a public branch in order to do full end-to-end
testing.
- Updated installation docs, removing binary and source installers and
substituting the "simple" unified installer.
- Pin requirements for the "http:" downloads to known working commits.
- Removed as much as possible the invoke-ai forks of others' repos.
* fix directory path for installer
* correct requirement/environment errors
* exclude zip files in .gitignore
* possible fix for dockerbuild
* ready for torture testing
- final Windows bat file tweaks
- copy environments-and-requirements to the runtime directory so that
the `update.sh` script can run.
This is not ideal, since we lose control over the
requirements. Better for the update script to pull the proper
updated requirements script from the repository.
* allow update.sh/update.bat to install arbitrary InvokeAI versions
- Can pass the zip file path to any InvokeAI release, branch, commit or tag,
and the installer will try to install it.
- Updated documentation
- Added Linux Python install hints.
* use binary installer's :err_exit function
* user diffusers 0.10.0
* added logic for CPPFLAGS on mac
* improve windows install documentation
- added information on a couple of gotchas I experienced during
windows installation, including DLL loading errors experienced
when Visual Studio C++ Redistributable was not present.
* tagged to pull from 2.2.4-rc1
- also fix error of shell window closing immediately if suitable
python not found
