So I’m no expert, but I have been a hobbyist C and Rust dev for a while now, and I’ve installed tons of programs from GitHub and whatnot that required manual compilation or other hoops to jump through, but I am constantly befuddled installing python apps. They seem to always need a very specific (often outdated) version of python, require a bunch of venv nonsense, googling gives tons of outdated info that no longer works, and generally seem incredibly not portable. As someone who doesn’t work in python, it seems more obtuse than any other language’s ecosystem. Why is it like this?

    despite editing the .sh file to point to the older tarballed Python version as advised on Github, it still tells me it uses the most up to date one that’s installed system wide and thus can’t install pytorch.

    Can you paste your commands and output?

    If you want, maybe on [email protected], since I think that people seeing how to get Automatic1111 set up might help others.

    I’ve set it up myself, and I don’t mind taking a stab at getting it working, especially if it might help get others over the hump to a local Automatic1111 installation.
