It automates the often complex installation process.
- Key Features:
- Improved Installation Speed: We've updated our rmwebui.sh script to allow a faster installation processes of the Stable Diffusion image generating application.
- Complete Stable Diffusion Setup: Goes beyond driver installation to fetch and configure all necessary components for running Stable Diffusion with ROCm on AMD GPUs.
- AMD-Specific Configuration: Tailored for AMD GPUs, ensuring optimal settings and compatibility for image generation tasks.
- Automated Installation: Handles system updates, dependency installations, and ROCm component setup.
- Error Detection & Recovery: Intelligently attempts to identify and fix common issues during the setup process.
- Optimized for Debian 12: Ensures compatibility and a smooth setup experience specifically for Debian 12.
- How it Works: When you run this script, it will:
- Update your system's package lists.
- Install essential development tools and Python libraries required for ROCm and Stable Diffusion.
- Add your user to the necessary
render
andvideo
groups. - Download and install the official AMD GPU driver installer and necessary ROCm components.
- Configure files and settings needed for Stable Diffusion to utilize ROCm effectively.
- Download: rmwebui.sh
- Requirements:
Before running the installation script, you must create a virtual environment to isolate the script's dependencies. This ensures a clean and controlled execution environment.
- Create a virtual environment: Open your terminal, navigate to the directory where you plan to run the script, and execute the following command to create a virtual environment named
venv
:python3 -m venv venv
- Activate the virtual environment: After creating the virtual environment, activate it using the appropriate command for your shell.
source venv/bin/activate
- Running the script again: If you close the terminal or exit the application and want to run the script again in the future, you **must** reactivate the virtual environment in a new terminal session before running the script. Navigate to the script's directory in your terminal and run:
Then you can run the script again as described in the next section.source venv/bin/activate
- Create a virtual environment: Open your terminal, navigate to the directory where you plan to run the script, and execute the following command to create a virtual environment named
- Important: Running the Installation Script
- Make the script executable: After downloading, open your terminal and navigate to
the directory where you saved
rmwebui.sh
. Then, make the script executable by running the command:chmod +x rmwebui.sh
- Run the script with administrator privileges: Execute the script using
bash
:bash rmwebui.sh
