# Apple Silicon Mac Users Several people have gotten Stable Diffusion to work on Apple Silicon Macs using Anaconda, miniforge, etc. I've gathered up most of their instructions and put them in this fork (and readme). Things have moved really fast and so these instructions change often. Hopefully things will settle down a little. There's several places where people are discussing Apple MPS functionality: [the original CompVis issue](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/issues/25), and generally on [lstein's fork](https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion/). You have to have macOS 12.3 Monterey or later. Anything earlier than that won't work. Tested on a 2022 Macbook M2 Air with 10-core GPU and 24 GB unified memory. How to: ``` git clone https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion.git cd stable-diffusion mkdir -p models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/ PATH_TO_CKPT="$HOME/Documents/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-original" # or wherever yours is. ln -s "$PATH_TO_CKPT/sd-v1-4.ckpt" models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model.ckpt CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-arm64 conda env create -f environment-mac.yaml conda activate ldm python scripts/preload_models.py python scripts/dream.py --full_precision # half-precision requires autocast and won't work ``` After you follow all the instructions and run dream.py you might get several errors. Here's the errors I've seen and found solutions for. ### Is it slow? Be sure to specify 1 sample and 1 iteration. python ./scripts/orig_scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "ocean" --ddim_steps 5 --n_samples 1 --n_iter 1 ### Doesn't work anymore? PyTorch nightly includes support for MPS. Because of this, this setup is inherently unstable. One morning I woke up and it no longer worked no matter what I did until I switched to miniforge. However, I have another Mac that works just fine with Anaconda. If you can't get it to work, please search a little first because many of the errors will get posted and solved. If you can't find a solution please [create an issue](https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion/issues). One debugging step is to update to the latest version of PyTorch nightly. conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio -c pytorch-nightly Or you can clean everything up. conda clean --yes --all Or you can reset Anaconda. conda update --force-reinstall -y -n base -c defaults conda ### "No module named cv2" (or some other module) Did you remember to `conda activate ldm`? If your terminal prompt begins with "(ldm)" then you activated it. If it begins with "(base)" or something else you haven't. If it says you're missing taming you need to rebuild your virtual environment. conda env remove -n ldm conda env create -f environment-mac.yaml If you have activated the ldm virtual environment and tried rebuilding it, maybe the problem could be that I have something installed that you don't and you'll just need to manually install it. Make sure you activate the virtual environment so it installs there instead of globally. conda activate ldm pip install *name* You might also need to install Rust (I mention this again below). ### Debugging? Tired of waiting for your renders to finish before you can see if it works? Reduce the steps! The image quality will be horrible but at least you'll get quick feedback. python ./scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "ocean" --ddim_steps 5 --n_samples 1 --n_iter 1 ### OSError: Can't load tokenizer for 'openai/clip-vit-large-patch14'... python scripts/preload_models.py ### "The operator [name] is not current implemented for the MPS device." (sic) Example error. ``` ... NotImplementedError: The operator 'aten::_index_put_impl_' is not current implemented for the MPS device. If you want this op to be added in priority during the prototype phase of this feature, please comment on [https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/77764](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/77764). As a temporary fix, you can set the environment variable `PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1` to use the CPU as a fallback for this op. WARNING: this will be slower than running natively on MPS. ``` The lstein branch includes this fix in [environment-mac.yaml](https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion/blob/main/environment-mac.yaml). ### "Could not build wheels for tokenizers" I have not seen this error because I had Rust installed on my computer before I started playing with Stable Diffusion. The fix is to install Rust. curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh ### How come `--seed` doesn't work? First this: > Completely reproducible results are not guaranteed across PyTorch releases, individual commits, or different platforms. Furthermore, results may not be reproducible between CPU and GPU executions, even when using identical seeds. [PyTorch docs](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/randomness.html) Second, we might have a fix that at least gets a consistent seed sort of. We're still working on it. ### libiomp5.dylib error? OMP: Error #15: Initializing libiomp5.dylib, but found libomp.dylib already initialized. You are likely using an Intel package by mistake. Be sure to run conda with the environment variable `CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-arm64`, like so: `CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-arm64 conda install ...` This error happens with Anaconda on Macs when the Intel-only `mkl` is pulled in by a dependency. [nomkl](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66224879/what-is-the-nomkl-python-package-used-for) is a metapackage designed to prevent this, by making it impossible to install `mkl`, but if your environment is already broken it may not work. Do *not* use `os.environ['KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK']='True'` or equivalents as this masks the underlying issue of using Intel packages. ### Not enough memory. This seems to be a common problem and is probably the underlying problem for a lot of symptoms (listed below). The fix is to lower your image size or to add `model.half()` right after the model is loaded. I should probably test it out. I've read that the reason this fixes problems is because it converts the model from 32-bit to 16-bit and that leaves more RAM for other things. I have no idea how that would affect the quality of the images though. See [this issue](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/issues/71). ### "Error: product of dimension sizes > 2**31'" This error happens with img2img, which I haven't played with too much yet. But I know it's because your image is too big or the resolution isn't a multiple of 32x32. Because the stable-diffusion model was trained on images that were 512 x 512, it's always best to use that output size (which is the default). However, if you're using that size and you get the above error, try 256 x 256 or 512 x 256 or something as the source image. BTW, 2**31-1 = [2,147,483,647](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,147,483,647#In_computing), which is also 32-bit signed [LONG_MAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types) in C. ### I just got Rickrolled! Do I have a virus? You don't have a virus. It's part of the project. Here's [Rick](https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion/blob/main/assets/rick.jpeg) and here's [the code](https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion/blob/69ae4b35e0a0f6ee1af8bb9a5d0016ccb27e36dc/scripts/txt2img.py#L79) that swaps him in. It's a NSFW filter, which IMO, doesn't work very good (and we call this "computer vision", sheesh). Actually, this could be happening because there's not enough RAM. You could try the `model.half()` suggestion or specify smaller output images. ### My images come out black We might have this fixed, we are still testing. There's a [similar issue](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/issues/69) on CUDA GPU's where the images come out green. Maybe it's the same issue? Someone in that issue says to use "--precision full", but this fork actually disables that flag. I don't know why, someone else provided that code and I don't know what it does. Maybe the `model.half()` suggestion above would fix this issue too. I should probably test it. ### "view size is not compatible with input tensor's size and stride" ``` File "/opt/anaconda3/envs/ldm/lib/python3.10/site-packages/torch/nn/functional.py", line 2511, in layer_norm return torch.layer_norm(input, normalized_shape, weight, bias, eps, torch.backends.cudnn.enabled) RuntimeError: view size is not compatible with input tensor's size and stride (at least one dimension spans across two contiguous subspaces). Use .reshape(...) instead. ``` Update to the latest version of lstein/stable-diffusion. We were patching pytorch but we found a file in stable-diffusion that we could change instead. This is a 32-bit vs 16-bit problem. ### The processor must support the Intel bla bla bla What? Intel? On an Apple Silicon? Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: This system does not meet the minimum requirements for use of the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library. The processor must support the Intel(R) Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel(R) SSSE3) instructions.██████████████| 50/50 [02:25<00:00, 2.53s/it] The processor must support the Intel(R) Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel(R) SSE4.2) instructions. The processor must support the Intel(R) Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel(R) AVX) instructions. This is due to the Intel `mkl` package getting picked up when you try to install something that depends on it-- Rosetta can translate some Intel instructions but not the specialized ones here. To avoid this, make sure to use the environment variable `CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-arm64`, which restricts the Conda environment to only use ARM packages, and use `nomkl` as described above.
