Kohya's GUI
This repository provides a Windows-focused Gradio GUI for Kohya's Stable Diffusion trainers. The GUI allows you to set the training parameters and generate and run the required CLI commands to train the model.
If you run on Linux and would like to use the GUI, there is now a port of it as a docker container. You can find the project here.

How to Create a LoRA Part 1: Dataset Preparation:
How to Create a LoRA Part 2: Training the Model:
Required Dependencies
- Install Python 3.10
- make sure to tick the box to add Python to the 'PATH' environment variable
- Install Git
- Install Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 redistributable
Linux and macOS dependencies
These dependencies are taken care of via setup.sh in the installation section. No additional steps should be needed unless the scripts inform you otherwise.
Installation
Runpod
Follow the instructions found in this discussion: https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss/discussions/379
Linux and macOS
In the terminal, run
git clone https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss.git
cd kohya_ss
# May need to chmod +x ./setup.sh if you're on a machine with stricter security.
# There are additional options if needed for a runpod environment.
# Call 'setup.sh -h' or 'setup.sh --help' for more information.
./setup.sh
Setup.sh help included here:
Kohya_SS Installation Script for POSIX operating systems.
The following options are useful in a runpod environment,
but will not affect a local machine install.
Usage:
setup.sh -b dev -d /workspace/kohya_ss -g https://mycustom.repo.tld/custom_fork.git
setup.sh --branch=dev --dir=/workspace/kohya_ss --git-repo=https://mycustom.repo.tld/custom_fork.git
Options:
-b BRANCH, --branch=BRANCH Select which branch of kohya to check out on new installs.
-d DIR, --dir=DIR The full path you want kohya_ss installed to.
-g REPO, --git_repo=REPO You can optionally provide a git repo to check out for runpod installation. Useful for custom forks.
-h, --help Show this screen.
-i, --interactive Interactively configure accelerate instead of using default config file.
-n, --no-update Do not update kohya_ss repo. No git pull or clone operations.
-p, --public Expose public URL in runpod mode. Won't have an effect in other modes.
-r, --runpod Forces a runpod installation. Useful if detection fails for any reason.
-s, --skip-space-check Skip the 10Gb minimum storage space check.
-u, --no-gui Skips launching the GUI.
-v, --verbose Increase verbosity levels up to 3.
Install location
The default install location for Linux is where the script is located if a previous installation is detected that location.
Otherwise, it will fall to /opt/kohya_ss. If /opt is not writeable, the fallback is $HOME/kohya_ss. Lastly, if all else fails it will simply install to the current folder you are in (PWD).
On macOS and other non-Linux machines, it will first try to detect an install where the script is run from and then run setup there if that's detected.
If a previous install isn't found at that location, then it will default install to $HOME/kohya_ss followed by where you're currently at if there's no access to $HOME.
You can override this behavior by specifying an install directory with the -d option.
If you are using the interactive mode, our default values for the accelerate config screen after running the script answer "This machine", "None", "No" for the remaining questions. These are the same answers as the Windows install.
Windows
In the terminal, run:
git clone https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss.git
cd kohya_ss
setup.bat
Then configure accelerate with the same answers as in the MacOS instructions when prompted.
Optional: CUDNN 8.6
This step is optional but can improve the learning speed for NVIDIA 30X0/40X0 owners. It allows for larger training batch size and faster training speed.
Due to the file size, I can't host the DLLs needed for CUDNN 8.6 on Github. I strongly advise you download them for a speed boost in sample generation (almost 50% on 4090 GPU) you can download them here.
To install, simply unzip the directory and place the cudnn_windows folder in the root of the this repo.
Run the following commands to install:
.\venv\Scripts\activate
python .\tools\cudann_1.8_install.py
Once the commands have completed successfully you should be ready to use the new version. MacOS support is not tested and has been mostly taken from https://gist.github.com/jstayco/9f5733f05b9dc29de95c4056a023d645
Upgrading
The following commands will work from the root directory of the project if you'd prefer to not run scripts. These commands will work on any OS.
git pull
.\venv\Scripts\activate
pip install --use-pep517 --upgrade -r requirements.txt
Windows Upgrade
When a new release comes out, you can upgrade your repo with the following commands in the root directory:
upgrade.bat
Linux and macOS Upgrade
You can cd into the root directory and simply run
# Refresh and update everything
./setup.sh
# This will refresh everything, but NOT clone or pull the git repo.
./setup.sh --no-git-update
Once the commands have completed successfully you should be ready to use the new version.
Starting GUI Service
The following command line arguments can be passed to the scripts on any OS to configure the underlying service.
--listen: the IP address to listen on for connections to Gradio.
--username: a username for authentication.
--password: a password for authentication.
--server_port: the port to run the server listener on.
--inbrowser: opens the Gradio UI in a web browser.
--share: shares the Gradio UI.
Launching the GUI on Windows
The two scripts to launch the GUI on Windows are gui.ps1 and gui.bat in the root directory. You can use whichever script you prefer.
To launch the Gradio UI, run the script in a terminal with the desired command line arguments, for example:
gui.ps1 --listen 127.0.0.1 --server_port 7860 --inbrowser --share
or
gui.bat --listen 127.0.0.1 --server_port 7860 --inbrowser --share
Launching the GUI on Linux and macOS
Run the launcher script with the desired command line arguments similar to Windows.
gui.sh --listen 127.0.0.1 --server_port 7860 --inbrowser --share
Launching the GUI directly using kohya_gui.py
To run the GUI directly bypassing the wrapper scripts, simply use this command from the root project directory:
.\venv\Scripts\activate
python .\kohya_gui.py
Dreambooth
You can find the dreambooth solution specific here: Dreambooth README
Finetune
You can find the finetune solution specific here: Finetune README
Train Network
You can find the train network solution specific here: Train network README
LoRA
Training a LoRA currently uses the train_network.py code. You can create a LoRA network by using the all-in-one gui.cmd or by running the dedicated LoRA training GUI with:
.\venv\Scripts\activate
python lora_gui.py
Once you have created the LoRA network, you can generate images via auto1111 by installing this extension.
Troubleshooting
Page File Limit
- X error relating to
page file: Increase the page file size limit in Windows.
No module called tkinter
- Re-install Python 3.10 on your system.
FileNotFoundError
This is usually related to an installation issue. Make sure you do not have any python modules installed locally that could conflict with the ones installed in the venv:
- Open a new powershell terminal and make sure no venv is active.
- Run the following commands:
pip freeze > uninstall.txt
pip uninstall -r uninstall.txt
This will store a backup file with your current locally installed pip packages and then uninstall them. Then, redo the installation instructions within the kohya_ss venv.
Change History

2023/04/07 (v21.5.0)
- Update MacOS and Linux install scripts. Thanks @jstayco
- Update windows upgrade ps1 and bat
- Update kohya_ss sd-script code to latest release... this is a big one so it might cause some training issue. If you find that this release is causing issues for you you can go back to the previous release with
git checkout v21.4.2and then run the upgrade script for your platform. Here is the list of changes in the new sd-scripts:-
There may be bugs because I changed a lot. If you cannot revert the script to the previous version when a problem occurs, please wait for the update for a while.
-
The learning rate and dim (rank) of each block may not work with other modules (LyCORIS, etc.) because the module needs to be changed.
-
Fix some bugs and add some features.
- Fix an issue that
.jsonformat dataset config files cannot be read. issue #351 Thanks to rockerBOO! - Raise an error when an invalid
--lr_warmup_stepsoption is specified (when warmup is not valid for the specified scheduler). PR #364 Thanks to shirayu! - Add
min_snr_gammato metadata intrain_network.py. PR #373 Thanks to rockerBOO! - Fix the data type handling in
fine_tune.py. This may fix an error that occurs in some environments when using xformers, npz format cache, and mixed_precision.
- Fix an issue that
-
Add options to
train_network.pyto specify block weights for learning rates. PR #355 Thanks to u-haru for the great contribution!- Specify the weights of 25 blocks for the full model.
- No LoRA corresponds to the first block, but 25 blocks are specified for compatibility with 'LoRA block weight' etc. Also, if you do not expand to conv2d3x3, some blocks do not have LoRA, but please specify 25 values for the argument for consistency.
- Specify the following arguments with
--network_args. down_lr_weight: Specify the learning rate weight of the down blocks of U-Net. The following can be specified.- The weight for each block: Specify 12 numbers such as
"down_lr_weight=0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1". - Specify from preset: Specify such as
"down_lr_weight=sine"(the weights by sine curve). sine, cosine, linear, reverse_linear, zeros can be specified. Also, if you add+numbersuch as"down_lr_weight=cosine+.25", the specified number is added (such as 0.25~1.25). mid_lr_weight: Specify the learning rate weight of the mid block of U-Net. Specify one number such as"down_lr_weight=0.5".up_lr_weight: Specify the learning rate weight of the up blocks of U-Net. The same as down_lr_weight.- If you omit the some arguments, the 1.0 is used. Also, if you set the weight to 0, the LoRA modules of that block are not created.
block_lr_zero_threshold: If the weight is not more than this value, the LoRA module is not created. The default is 0.
-
Add options to
train_network.pyto specify block dims (ranks) for variable rank.- Specify 25 values for the full model of 25 blocks. Some blocks do not have LoRA, but specify 25 values always.
- Specify the following arguments with
--network_args. block_dims: Specify the dim (rank) of each block. Specify 25 numbers such as"block_dims=2,2,2,2,4,4,4,4,6,6,6,6,8,6,6,6,6,4,4,4,4,2,2,2,2".block_alphas: Specify the alpha of each block. Specify 25 numbers as with block_dims. If omitted, the value of network_alpha is used.conv_block_dims: Expand LoRA to Conv2d 3x3 and specify the dim (rank) of each block.conv_block_alphas: Specify the alpha of each block when expanding LoRA to Conv2d 3x3. If omitted, the value of conv_alpha is used.

2023/04/02 (v21.4.2)
- removes TensorFlow from requirements.txt for Darwin platforms as pip does not support advanced conditionals like CPU architecture. The logic is now defined in setup.sh to avoid version bump headaches, and the selection logic is in the pre-existing pip function. Additionally, the release includes the addition of the tensorflow-metal package for M1+ Macs, which enables GPU acceleration per Apple's documentation. Thanks @jstayco
