Domestic access for network reasonsComfyUI as well asSD_Xl_base_1.0 Models can be very slow.

For silky smooth access, you need magic or efficient internet access.

If you don't have the conditions, there are ways to get resources from domestic open source mirror sites or large modeling communities.

Get and deploy StableSwarmUI:StableSwarmUI The latest version isStableSwarmUI Release 0.6.4-Beta. You need to.Python environment, if you have trouble accessing the official Python site, you can start thePython Chinese Get resources. Of course, you can also get it from the major open source software mirrors in China. If you're having trouble, I'll give you my own Python installer for Windows at the end of this article.

My Python environment, for reference only:

Regarding zip archives, if you don't have a graphical decompression tool installed7-Zip And it's not installed.360zip International EditionYou can try to use Windows 11's ownexpand-archive Command Decompression Tool.

Let's start the StableSwarmUI experience together, and before we do that, let's remind you again to install thePython Environment, yo.

StableSwarmUI install Experience Edition

The bootstrap installation defaults to comfyUI (local) for immediate local installation.

For experienced users, there is an option to skip the ComfyUI installation and import it manually at a later stage.。

StableSwarmUI Configuration Backend

Focus on configuring the back end ComfyUI。

You can use an unzip utility, or you can unzip it using the command formComfyUI_windows_portable_nvidia.7z. It is worth noting that Windows 11 does not natively support extracting 7z files directly with commands, and requires an additional download of the7-Zip and configure environment variables as well as aliases, how to do that is not covered here. I use aliases for some commands, see Compatibility Aliases in Windows for more information.Using Aliases - PowerShell Descriptions, such ascp，copy，Copy-Item。

Start again . \, it is normal for the first installation (install) of ComfyUI to take some time to load.

Import the model file.

If no model data is available locallyIf you need to get the model data or basic model of someone else's culture, copy it to the StableSwarmUI specified in the\StableSwarmUI-0.6.4-Beta\Models\Stable-Diffusion\OfficialStableDiffusion Catalog.

Windows powershell command form to copy the model to the specified directory:

cp -Path ".\sd_xl_base_1."  -Destination

After importing the model successfully, select "mould", SDXL can be queried.

StableSwarmUI Quick Installation Scripts

friendly reminder: Windows platforms can also use Quick Installation Scripts. This is actually a script that combines the steps of installing multiple essential tools into a single script.

.\

scripts.\ What steps are performed? There are three steps worth noting, getting.8、Git as well asStableSwarmUI。

Get and install the latest .8:

winget install .8 --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

If you already have a local installation of.8 tool, you can try skipping (blocking out) the .8 installation step in the script.

Get and install Git:

winget install --id  -e --source winget --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

If you have some development experience and have installed Git tools locally, you can try skipping (blocking out) the Git installation step in the script.

Get StableSwarmUI:

git clone /Stability-AI/StableSwarmUI

scripts.\ Original content:

@echo off

cd /d "%~dp0"

    echo StableSwarmUI is already installed in this folder. If this is incorrect, delete the 'StableSwarmUI' folder and try again.

StableSwarmUI Installation and Startup

Before launching StableSwarmUI I'd like to introduce my personal hardware environment (pen drive). Not too new, not too old, will be able to play (learn):

CPU: R7-7735H (actually R7-6800H vest U, Su mother squeezed how many times the toothpaste, upgrade naming ghosts). 8 pure big core u, usually enough to use.
Graphics card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8.00 GiB

With discrete graphics on board, this pairing makes AMD's powerful core graphics seem a bit of a waste.

How to set up a new computer for the college freshman season? New idea, Dad, your son wants to learn Ai, and needs a high end N card for productivity.Don't say I taught you that.The question is what productivity requires.

This is a bit of a tangent, so let's move on to StableSwarmUI.Currently in Beta

A Modular Stable Diffusion Web-User-Interface, with an emphasis on making powertools easily accessible, high performance, and extensibility.

Installation and startup, performed on Windows platforms scripts, the installation process may be slow, perhaps you need to surf the Internet efficiently.

initial installationThe model is slow to be obtained from official sources, and it is preferred to visit the/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0/resolve/main/sd_xl_base_1.If you see an error or warning message, it is normal. If you can't access ComfyUI at home, you can go to a third-party website or community, such as the Magic Hitch community, to get model data uploaded by others. If you are slow to get ComfyUI, this is normal, prioritize your visit to/comfyanonymous/ComfyUIIt is recommended to use the BT tool or get it from the big modeling community in China.

sd_xl_base_1.0 Model Acquisition

Magic Hitch Community, get sd_xl_base_1.

If you're using git to get it, by default you've already deployed and configured theGit environment with direct access to the full model training repositorygit clone /AI-ModelScope/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.. Of course, you can also click on the filesd_xl_base_1. Direct Download.

Personally, I recommend downloading the model files directly if you need the experience urgently. The full model repository takes up more space, there are repository iterations, and each author submission synchronizes differently.

If no model data is available locallyIf you need to get the model data cultivated by others, copy it to the StableSwarmUI-specified\StableSwarmUI-0.6.4-Beta\Models\Stable-Diffusion\OfficialStableDiffusion Catalog.

Windows powershell command form to copy the model to the specified directory:

cp -Path ".\sd_xl_base_1."  -Destination 
".\StableSwarmUI-0.6.4-Beta\StableSwarmUI\Models\Stable-Diffusion\OfficialStableDiffusion" -Recurse

After importing the model data, go to the web UI interface and click on the model, refresh to see the model. Personally, I suggest that it is better to select the server information function in the Server function module, click Shutdown Server, and then execute the Start the web application.

After the local startup is complete, it will automatically jump to the default settings browser and visit thehttp://localhost:7801
