how to upgrade Gradio in Stable Diffusion

[pardoart]

First of all, sorry for my ignorance. My knowledge about programming and computers is very simple, because I am an illustrator. I am trying to install the extension in Stable Diffusion and I get the error:

You are running Gradio version 3.16.2. This version of the extension requires at least Gradio version 3.23.0.

I try to update it with Anaconda Powershell with the following sequence:

cd C:\Userstable-diffusion-webui

.\venv "scripts" activate

pip install gradio --upgrade

It seems to be installed, but I still get the error and in the folder C:\Userserstable-diffusion-webui.\venvibsite-packages is still the folder "gradio-3.16.2.dist-info".

Can anyone help me with some information to update Gradio inside Stable Diffusion?

Thank you very much

Well, I have a few thoughts about that.

1. It's possible that you are running an old version of automatic1111 webui. When started, it would reinstall the gradio-version it expects. So try to update that (git pull - if you need help with that, let me know)
2. If that is not the case, you seem to run both Anaconda and venv, which in this case try to do the same thing (make a separate environment from other python apps). It's possible there are side effects with that. Try running without Anaconda.
3. If it still doesn't work, you can delete the venv folder. It will be recreated on the next run.
4. And if all fails, you can try a fresh install of automatic1111 in a different folder.

If you neeed help with any of the steps, feel free to ask.

This is what I get:

This seems to be the problem:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

For some reason it can't find your git information. So any git pull won't work and you probably have an old version of the webui.

Let's see if we can figure out what is going on. First, can you do this:

Open a cmd window (WindowsKey + R and enter cmd) and there enter:

cd C:\Users\User\stable-diffusion-webui
dir .git

What does it say at this point?

[pardoart]

I get this (translated from Spanish):

File not found

C:\Userstable-diffusion-webui>dir .git
The volume on drive C has no label.
The volume serial number is: XXXX-XXXX

directory of C:\Users\User\stable-diffusion-webui

File not found

C:\Userserstable-diffusion-webui> directory

In the stable-diffusion- webui I have a txtfile called ".gitignore"... Is it right?

Thank you so much for your help

[AlUlkesh]

Yes, .gitignore is correct.

Unfortunately, your .git directory seems to have been lost somehow, and that can't be reconstructed. I highly suggest you make a fresh install.

Luckily by now that's easy and quick if you follow the right steps. Here's how I would do it:

(For the following I am assuming the directory where you currently installed webui is C:\Users\User)

Open a cmd window (WindowsKey + R and enter cmd) and there enter:

cd C:\Users\User
git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui sd-webui2

This will create a new webui directory for you, called sd-webui2

Now go ahead and copy or move your old model files over, that way you don't have to re-download them.

All files from
C:\Users\User\stable-diffusion-webui\models\Stable-diffusion
to
C:\Users\User\sd-webui2\models\Stable-diffusion

Then in cmd:

cd C:\Users\User\sd-webui2
webui-user.bat

This might take a while on the first start, since every needed package is being download.

When webui starts, go ahead and close it down again.

Now you can copy or move over the remaining relevant files from your old version, that is these folders:

embeddings
extensions
outputs
log
models\ControlNet
models\Esrgan
models\hypernetworks
models\Lora
models\VAE

Then start the new webui again with webui-user.bat

At this point everything should work again. If you changed any of the settings, you'll have to do that again.

Hope this helps.

[pardoart]

Yes!!! Thank you so much. It works perfectly. After copying the models, lora, extensions, outpus ect.... I guess I can delete the old directory, can't I?

[AlUlkesh]

Great, glad it worked.

Well, if it was me I'd rename the old directory and wait a few days to see, if everything is working. Then I'd delete it.

[pardoart]

You've been so kind. Thank you for your help. I'll do it and I hope this post helps someone with the problem I had.

Gracias, amigo!!!
