This detailed walkthrough is a lifesaver for those diving into AI without a programming background. The step-by-step instructions on setting up tools like Python, Git, and CUDA libraries are invaluable. Kudos for simplifying a potentially complex process! ❤👍

No one produces quality content as much as you. I hope your quality is understood. I personally thank you endlessly

[Dazzastrous]

Highly recommend this guys tutorials. I've watched a lot of AI videos from other "Experts" but find these give the most indepth tutorials out there, even I can follow them. He really knows his stuff. Doc your English is fantastic my only suggestion is to Slow it down a little as it was a little fast (still managed to follow it) keep up the fantastic work. I don't know how you find the time to do all of this incredible hard work but I for one are very glad that you do.

Hi there, I recently joined your patreon, never did something like this before :-) . Thank you so much for your clear, easy and well communicated videos.For example I had problems installing and running Onetrainer for days! I felt so lost! Then by watching your video about environment, dependencies etc. and the right way how to install it Onetrainer was set up right and it works!!!!
After days of torture I was able to set it up in about 10 Minutes with zero stress.
For people like me, who are no scientists or programmers, or informatic nobel-prize-award-winners;for people like my who are instantly thinking about giant snakes when you try to tell them about anaconda or python;who would use torch maybe in the Devilscave in Bavaria Germany on exploration;etc etc.... <3

[Sqvusz]

Hi Dr. F, thanks for your videos. I find them very helpful. I have a question regarding Kohya following the essentials of this video. When I launch the application, Kohya opens, but I get this error in command that says:

"Error during Git operation: Command '['git', 'submodule', 'update', '--init', '--recursive',
'--quiet']' returned non-zero exit status 128.."

While Kohya opens, I am unable to have captioning work via WD14, which leads me to assume there is a sort of error during my installation. Do you possibly know what the problem could be? Thank you very much for your help.

[juanpablo]

Thank you so much for all the content! <3

yapmış olduğunuz güzel anlatım için teşekkür ederim beklenmedik durumlarda oluşan ve çözümü için kaç gündür uğraşıp bir türlü sonuca varamadığım problemleri sayenizde çözmüş bulundum dilerim ki daha büyük kitlelere ulaşır ve böyle anlatımı güzel videolar çekmeye devam edersiniz esenlikler

[AniketRajAniketkno]

This is a good python pytorch setup tutorial

I would always forget the index url bit!
Thanks for this video.

[luis]

All this installation is for those who will use it on their own pc, right?
Those who want to use it on Massed Compute do not need it?

Thanks for sharing. It’s a great tutorial on preparatory homework. It will be very useful if you need to re-enter the computer later.

[dudududuev]

Assalmu aleicum brother at 25 minutes you explain How to change and how to update the virtual environment, but for some reason after installing x-formers the virtual environment is reset, which x-formers is suitable for the virtual environment pip3 install torch=2.2.0 and is it needed at all?

[damird]

Great tutorial, thank you!

I have problem, maybe unrelated, in sd forge, i get errors "Expected all tensors to be on the same device, but found at least two devices, cuda:0 and cpu!" how to fix this?

[python]

Hocam kanalınızı yeni keşfettim, ilk izlenimim tek kelimeyle harika. Başarılarınızın devamını dilerim, konuyla ilgilenen arkadaşlarıma da tavsiye ettim. o7

[IntiArtDesigns]

I've installed the 2022 build tools and the C++ thing, but the cuda installer is still telling me "no supported version of visual studio was found". What do i do??

[markschrader]

I just installed SUPIR & updated to version 24.1.1 using Windows Command Prompt.
However C:\Windows\System32>py -m pip install --upgrade pip

Requirement already satisfied: pip in c:\users\mark (24.1.1)

But the Windows Installer is stating this:

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 23.0.1 -> 24.1.1
[notice] To update, run: python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip Note: Does not work in Python exe.

What I'm I overlooking or doing incorrectly, if anything?
