To use these features, simply open your terminal and type in the command you wish to use, then press Enter. These commands are recognized system-wide. Use xmenu.sh to see all options in a convenient menu!

Here's a brief overview of the available installation commands:

• xmenu.sh: Launch all our custom installation options from a selectable menu. (Recommended starting point!)

ROCm Stable Diffusion Image Generation Install and Setup Script for AMD GPUs (Debian 12)

Purpose: This script provides a streamlined way to install and set up Stable Diffusion for image generation on AMD GPUs using ROCm on Debian 12. Unlike just installing drivers, this script handles pulling all necessary assets and configuring files specifically for AMD GPUs, mirroring the ease-of-use that Nvidia users experience with AI setup scripts. 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:
  1. Update your system's package lists.
  2. Install essential development tools and Python libraries required for ROCm and Stable Diffusion.
  3. Add your user to the necessary render and video groups.
  4. Download and install the official AMD GPU driver installer and necessary ROCm components.
  5. 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.

  1. 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

  2. Activate the virtual environment: After creating the virtual environment, activate it using the appropriate command for your shell.

     source venv/bin/activate

  3. 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:

     source venv/bin/activate

     Then you can run the script again as described in the next section.
• Important: Running the Installation Script
  1. 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

  2. Run the script with administrator privileges: Execute the script using bash:

     bash rmwebui.sh
