Venv instead of Conda

[Ratinod]

As the subject says. Is it possible to install this in venv instead of using Conda? I don't like all the virtual environments that is created on C: all the time. It slowly fills upp C: instead of just filling up the folder where the program is run. Venv is so much easier to handle

I installed this with venv. At least on Python 3.10.7 everything works for me.
How to install with venv:

1. git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet.git
2. go to "ControlNet"
3. open cmd in this folder
4. python -m venv venv | this will create venv in "ControlNet\venv" folder
5. venv\Scripts\activate | this will activate venv
6. go to https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ and configure command (choose pip instead of conda at least)

in my case the command looked like this:
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116

8. run the received command in the console
9. now you need to install the dependencies from "environment.yaml":

gradio==3.16.2
albumentations==1.3.0
opencv-contrib-python==4.7.0.68 | 4.3.0.36 cannot be installed on python 3.10.7
imageio==2.9.0
imageio-ffmpeg==0.4.2
pytorch-lightning==1.5.0
omegaconf==2.1.1
test-tube==0.7.5
streamlit==1.12.1
einops==0.3.0
transformers==4.19.2
webdataset==0.2.5
kornia==0.6
open_clip_torch==2.0.2
invisible-watermark==0.1.5
streamlit-drawable-canvas==0.8.0
torchmetrics==0.6.0
timm==0.6.12
addict==2.4.0
yapf==0.32.0
prettytable==3.6.0
safetensors==0.2.7

10. take one at a time and write the command in the console

pip install gradio==3.16.2
pip install albumentations==1.3.0
etc.

11. now the console can be closed
12. Don't forget about the weights and other required things.
13. To start, I advise you to create a bat (for windows) files in root "ControlNet" folder. Example for run "gradio_annotator.py":

run_gradio_annotator.bat

@echo off

set VENV_DIR=.\venv
set PYTHON=python

call %VENV_DIR%\Scripts\activate.bat

%PYTHON% gradio_annotator.py

pause

After that, you can open the console and run the command to clean up the pip installation files (delete files from C: drive):
pip cache purge

conda also makes a venv it is same

you need to just extra install conda

i shown in this video and it doesn't break your existing python installations : https://youtu.be/YJebdQ30UZQ

you probably can also install with default python as venv but you probably need to download specific python version and install it to work

no need anymore

now there is a great extension for automatic1111

It works amazingly well and supports xformers as well now since automatic1111 supports

Also not anymore you need a merged ckpt files

It works with any custom model as well
