Windows Installation Instructions

Palsar33 opened this issue 10 months ago · 10 comments

I can't seem to get the installation right. I have exported the 3 folders (bin, lib, share) into my krita folder (C:\Users\me_user\AppData\Roaming\krita) but can't see the tools in Krita. I also tried exporting them in a new folder inside the krita folder, as well as in pykrita. What am I missing? Do I need to change anything from inside the software to make the tool appear? Many thanks

They need to go into the installation folder - the default is C:\Program Files\Krita (x64) if you used the installer. The bin/lib/share should already exist there.

I'm not sure if what you meant was to copy the contents of each folder to the respective bin/lib/share, but that's what I did. It works like a charm!
Many thanks! :)

hello
@Acly can you please tell me where to put each folder ? ( the media folder , segmentation folder )
or put the whole krita-ai-tools-1.0.2 folder into C:\Program Files\Krita (x64) ?

It sounds like you downloaded the code. You need to download a release: https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-tools/releases

thank you so much for the fast response

For anyone as slow as me:

For anyone struggling to be clear you download the release above and it does not self install or anything you just extract the contents of each folder (i.e. bin) to the respective folder existing in program files/krita.

I felt like a complete idiot doing this it was super simple but the instructions on the front page were for some reason confusing then I got to this page and read a little and tried to just extract to the folder and restart krita. Then read a couple more lines and all made sense. Get the release. Extract to programfiles\krita. inside you have duplicates of folders already existing in krita and you put contents in respective folder.

You don't actually have to copy contents of each folder manually, Windows will do that for you. Just extracting/copying all folders as-is into the Krita install directory works.
Hence the terse installation instructions - but I'm happy to take suggestions to make it more clear

I must be really slow. I downloaded the release, but I don't see any installer anywhere. I tried copying the entire unzipped folder to the Krita install folder and nothing happened at all.

Is there a way in Krita to see if the additional 'modules' (?) are loaded? I have extracted the folders into the Windows installation of Krita correctly and see them in the corresponding folders, ie bin, lib, and share. But when I launch Krita I do not see the star selection icon as shown in the videos. Is there a tool I need to enable in Krita brush toolbar?

I am also running under Steam install/deployment of Krita 5.2.2

Looks like it's a problem with the Steam Installation of Krita. Works fine with a direct installation of the latest Krita release for Windows, Krita version 5.2.3. I wonder how the Steam installation is different than the direct installation.
