Error on installation

[slow elm]

I just downloaded the installer zip and when I run the installer.bat after selecting NVidia gpu I get this error

Command line: | 'F:\Invoke AI\.venv\Scripts\pip.exe' install --require-virtualenv --force-reinstall --use-pep517 'invokeai[xformers,onnx-cuda]' --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
Could not install InvokeAI. Please try downloading the latest version of the installer and install again.
Press any key to continue . . .

But I just downloaded the installer....

Hi @slow elm. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble installing InvokeAI. The error message suggests that the installation process is having trouble installing the invokeai package with the xformers and onnx-cuda extras.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Check your Python version: Make sure you're using a compatible Python version. Some users have reported issues when trying to install InvokeAI with different Python versions.

2. Check your permissions: If you get a permissions error, you can try running this command and then try the installation again:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
   

   This command changes the execution policy for the current user to allow the execution of scripts signed by a trusted publisher.

3. Manual Installation: If the automated installation is not working, you can try to install InvokeAI manually. Here are the steps for manual installation:

   • Make sure that pip is installed in your virtual environment and up to date:

     python -m pip install --upgrade pip
     

   • Install the InvokeAI Package. The --extra-index-url option is used to select among CUDA, ROCm and CPU/MPS drivers. Since you're using an NVidia GPU, you should use the CUDA option:

     pip install "InvokeAI[xformers]" --use-pep517 --extra-index-url <https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121>
     

   • Deactivate and reactivate your runtime directory so that the invokeai-specific commands become available in the environment:

     deactivate && source .venv/bin/activate
     

   • Set up the runtime directory:

     invokeai-configure --root .
     

4. Seek help: If you're still having trouble, you can seek help on the Discord installation support channel (https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1041391462190956654).

Please refer to the InvokeAI Installation Guide (https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/020_INSTALL_MANUAL#installation-walkthrough) for more detailed instructions.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

During the recomended steps you posted I get those errors:

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Sorry @slow elm, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:

Perhaps try again in 15mins?

[slow elm]

Sure I'm waiting

You need to remove the < and > from the URL

And the commands with the && you should Do them one by one because powershell cant Do & &

Now I get this when I do the pip install
