#Help with failed install

Good morning. Requesting your guidance since I had No success installing your most recent release of the GUI on my Windows 10 Alienware R4 17.

First time round install apparently finished w/out problems but on launch of the invokeai.bat the CL reported no ESRGAN or Codeformer models installed and asked me to re-download the whole set of recommended models again.
(which where already there on their corresponding folder)

Since I am a clueless noob I decided to simply trash the whole install folder and start from scratch. In retrospect maybe not the best decision.

Second and third time round the installer failed early on, unable to progress from the stage seen on the screenshots.

Please help me out...been trying for months to use Stable Diffusion on my Windows laptop. I'm starting to consider to completely nuke my current Windows 10 and start anew with a fresh system install. TBH I'm not very fond of both Windows or coding, the only way I've been able to generate images on SD so far is on MacOs through Diffusion Bee, just because the install is truly idiot-proof 😅 but your GUI looks fantastic and I want to keep on trying. Thanks!

The MemoryError has to do with pip and isnt related to InvokeAI, how much space do you have left on your computer?

But I tried installing it on another internal disk (not the main system one) who has plenty of space and it failed with the same error.

maybe try .\.venv\bin\python -m pip install --no-cache-dir torch==1.12.1 torchvision=1.12.1

Memory Error is just a wierd error. Its not related to invokeai and just waiting for things to progress won't stop this error from popping up

Afaik pip still caches stuff in c

Not sure I get what you mean...I guess that I'll have to upgrade my knowledge of computers if I intend to keep up with the current AI revolution.

Just another thing...if it's unrelated to invoke ai why didn't it throw the same error first time round? It was only after I trashed the install folder that the torch and the memory errors came up.

It didn't catch memory errors the first time because you probably had available memory lol

#

I dunno if it's talking about drive storage or RAM

#

16 GB of RAM should have been enough...

#

Sorry this is like... Ive never seen this lol

#

the python -m pip command should work from what I've read

I have 16 GB of RAM, after getting that memory error I did a reboot and "purged" the RAM before attempting the install.

I remember it clearing up some of the memory but my machine has always had issues with RAM management. Most of the time I have only 10 G free.

Any idea about the other error? (first screenshot) the command line throws both in succession.

They seem to be part of the same error?

Yeah, in the installer directory

#

or replace the python.exe path to the venv python

coarse quail

Lol this is like an alien language to me, forgive me I'm such a boomer 😆

#

I need to do a coding bootcamp or something 🤦🏻

Luckily this app's cmd usage is almost none after installation

Other than initialization, where half of all the errors appear xd
