# Stable Diffusion - Automatic *Heavily opinionated custom fork of* ![](ui-screenshot.jpg)
## Notes Fork is as close as up-to-date with origin as time allows All code changes are merged upstream whenever possible Fork adds extra functionality: - Ships with additional **extensions** e.g. `System Info`, `Steps Animation`, etc. - Ships with set of **CLI** tools that rely on *SD API* for execution: e.g. `generate`, `train`, `bench`, etc. [Full list]() Simplified start script: `automatic.sh` *Existing `webui.sh`/`webui.bat` still exist for backward compatibility, fresh installs to auto-install dependencies, etc.* > ./automatic.sh - Start in default mode with optimizations enabled > ./automatic.sh env - Print env info and exit Example: Version: c07487a Tue Jan 24 08:04:31 2023 -0500 Platform: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS 5.15.79.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 Python 3.10.6 Torch: 2.0.0.dev20230118+cu118 CUDA: 11.8 cuDNN: 8700 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Arch: (8, 6) > ./automatic.sh public - Start with listen on public IP with authentication enabled > ./automatic.sh clean - Start with all optimizations disabled Use this for troubleshooting
## Install 1. Install `PyTorch` first 2. Clone and initialize repository > git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic > git submodule update --init --recursive 3. Install dependencies > ./automatic.sh install
## Differences Fork does differ in few things: - Drops compatibility with `python` **3.7** and requires **3.9** - Updated **Python** libraries to latest known compatible versions e.g. `accelerate`, `transformers`, `numpy`, etc. - Includes opinionated **System** and **Options** configuration e.g. `samplers`, `upscalers`, etc. - Includes reskinned **UI** Black and orange dark theme with fixed width options panels and larger previews - Includes **SD2** configuration files - Uses simplified folder structure e.g. `/train`, `/outputs/*` - Modified training templates Only Python library which is not auto-updated is `PyTorch` itself as that is very system specific For some Torch optimizations notes, see Wiki Fork is compatible with regular **PyTorch 1.13** as well as pre-release of **PyTorch 2.0** See [Wiki](https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic/wiki) for **Torch** optimization notes
