Setting up Stable Diffusion for MacOS

With the landscape quickly changing, this article is fast becoming outdated! If you face issues with the tutorial below I recommend you checkout ...

Hey all, I'm magnusviri. The instructions here need to be modified like this.

git checkout https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion

Don't check out anything. After conda activate ldm run this.

python scripts/preload_models.py

The latest instructions are here.

I haven't updated them with python scripts/preload_models.py. Anyone can get a github account, fork lstein's repo, update the readme with the latest info, and do a pull request to get it updated for everyone. This is the beauty of open source.

This stuff is moving extremely fast and is extremely complex. It's moving so fast that since it's moved from magnusviri/stable-diffusion to lstein/stable-diffusion I haven't even had time to double check that the readme is even accurate or update it with the latest list of errors plaguing people. While people are trying to make it as easy as possible this is nowhere near ready for the masses and non-power users.

Craig Morten • Aug 31 '22

Nice one @magnusviri! I've put a notice at the top as my personal notes from having a play are fast becoming unfit for the enthusiasm of the community!

Greg Asman • Aug 26 '22 • Edited

Thanks for the detailed instructions! Unfortunately, I'm getting stuck at environment creation where pip is failing with the message below. Any thoughts on how to get over this hurdle? Thanks again!

(Note: It appears to be an issue with onnx. I tried a pip install onnx and it went through every version unsucessfully.)

Carlos Merchán • Aug 27 '22

im having the same issue, any clue?

Craig Morten • Aug 28 '22 • Edited

I’ll give my own instructions another go and see if can reproduce…

What version of python/pip are you using? IIRC you need to use python 3

Updates:

If you followed the steps verbatim the conda installation step was incorrect - I have amended!
Just noticed your error is regarding not having cmake, adding some env setup steps for this now! You need to install this brew install cmake

Carlos Merchán • Aug 28 '22

I’ll check again installing cmake
Question: why are you using /Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh instead of /Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh ?

Craig Morten • Aug 29 '22

Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh is for "pre-M1" macs, e.g. I use a MacBook Air 2017 which uses an Intel chip.

Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh is for Apple M1 😄

Carlos Merchán • Aug 29 '22

I was confused because you use apple-silicon-mps-support branch and I thought you had a M1 cpu. Anyway now it's working for me, thanks

laimj • Aug 31 '22 • Edited

Thanks for the detailed instructions!

I had the same problem and your method solved it, but the next error crept up:

For me it is hard to find the reason for this error. Please help!

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, haven't managed to get it to work yet. I got this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sd-v1-4.ckpt'

Edit:
I don't know what I did, but now the error is

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model.ckpt'

Edit:
I found the file somewhere else on my mac and put it in the correct folder and renamed it model.ckpt, but it resulted in the following error :

OSError: Can't load tokenizer for 'openai/clip-vit-large-patch14'. If you were trying to load it from 'https://huggingface.co/models', make sure you don't have a local directory with the same name. Otherwise, make sure 'openai/clip-vit-large-patch14' is the correct path to a directory containing all relevant files for a CLIPTokenizer tokenizer.

Not really sure how I can proceed from here to try and make it work.

Some other issues I came across along the way:

The branch name seems to be apple-mps-support and not apple-silicon-mps-support
There is no script named txt2img.py in the /scripts, but there is in /scripts/orig_scripts, however, it doesn't work for me. Is there a new script to replace it? Which one?

Nicola Zuliani • Aug 30 '22

Thanks for the instructions, but I found some problems while trying to make this to work.
Many modules looks missing on my MacOS (with M1), that I think I managed to install, but now I'm stucked.
The error I get is:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/nicol/miniconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_dlib_pybind11.cpython-39-darwin.so, 0x0002): symbol not found in flat namespace '_png_do_expand_palette_rgb8_neon'

Any idea on how to solve it? I tried to install libpng but things don't change.

Thanks again :)

Sjoerd W. Bijleveld • Aug 30 '22

Hi Craig,
I'm stuck at the point of installing Conda. I get the message: 'zsh: command not found: wget'. It seems wget is a Linux command, but I'm on a iMac (Monterey). Any help is much appreciated!

Sjoerd

ʞɐoןıu ıɯɐƃo ɟıɹǝ • Aug 30 '22

you can install wget with brew, or switch to using curl to get the file also

curl -O URLHERE

Sjoerd W. Bijleveld • Aug 30 '22

Thanks! ATM I'm not able to try it, but also further investigation revealed that probably the path to the zsh shell is not valid. So I will check that also asap.

Sjoerd W. Bijleveld • Aug 31 '22

It turned out I indeed had to install 'wget' with brew. It does now recognise the command. So no problems with the shell path. Thanks so much!

Are other people having issues with grpcio? I have never delved into the python world much, but tried installing an earlier version into the conda environment and cleared the caches. But it will still download the latest version which fails on my M1 mac.

ʞɐoןıu ıɯɐƃo ɟıɹǝ • Aug 30 '22

The only time I got a segfault was when I set KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK ... I posted a couple other solutions above (recommend the "delete the conflicting library" one over the "rebuild with nomkl" but whichever you feel more comfortable with ^_^ )

ʞɐoןıu ıɯɐƃo ɟıɹǝ • Aug 30 '22

FWIW [2022-08-29] —
on an intel mac

1)
ldm/modules/attention.py#L211 already had the patch

2)
ran into issues with:

Error #15: Initializing libiomp5.dylib, but found libiomp5.dylib already initialized OMP:

I wound up redoing the environment to include nomkl and it seems to have worked, if ... so ... SO ... slow [4 minutes!] . But I'll take functional over not (thanks!) ... helps me prep for doing this on a real machine, and I can kick things off overnight. ;)

dependencies:
  - nomkl
...

ʞɐoןıu ıɯɐƃo ɟıɹǝ • Aug 30 '22 • Edited

Alternately, with the info that libiomp5.dylib and libomp.dylib were likely conflicts:

 mv /Users/fire/miniconda3/envs/ldm/lib/python3.10/site-packages/torch/lib/libiomp5.dylib /Users/fire/miniconda3/envs/ldm/lib/python3.10/site-packages/torch/lib/libiomp5.bak

seems to have worked, ignoring the nomkl path.

The KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK solution only led to segfaults.

The LD_PRELOAD did nothing, possibly because I was targeting the wrong one, but possibly because the names were actually different?

It worked for a few days, but now when I run the prompt it says:

How can I fix it? I've tried deleting the files in the folder and re-downloading them, but that hasn't worked.

Fred Zimmerman • Sep 8 '22

I was able to get Stable Diffusion running on my Intel chip Mac following these instructions. Thank you! I had to deviate a few times, but these were the best instructions I found for Mac users. I will try to write something up to clarify what steps I took.

Jeremy Franklin • Aug 30 '22

Thank you a lot! I don't have much experience coding but I managed to followed this true with some added troubleshooting because I couldn't understand quite all of it. But for now it worked!

I only have one question;

you say: Similarly append a new line x = x.contiguous() after ldm/modules/attention.py#L211

but when I went in the code to append this, it was already there without my intervention or anything. Can I just ignore this step or am I missing something?

It does work without the gpu/cpu thing so thanks again.

Anyway I could buy you a coffee?

I expect the codebase just moved forwards and "fixed" this part :)

Thanks for this, got it up and running eventually on MacOS 12.0.1 Macbook pro M1 Max.

What sort of speeds are people seeing? It takes around 35 minutes to run the example command to create an image.

I updated to latest MacOS (12.5.1) and it now takes ~1 minute.

Massive improvement. If anyone else has similar long run times try updating your OS!

Do you have to install the Stable Diffusion Weights every time you use it?

ʞɐoןıu ıɯɐƃo ɟıɹǝ • Aug 30 '22

just each time you install stable diffusion :) it'll wind up downloading a bunch of checkpoints/whatnot the first time you run, but won't need to do that either on subsequent runs.
