Installation instruction

[Loran0]

Hello there

Can you please provide additional instructions on how can i install this awesome webUI if i've already got installed the latest version on audiocraft with all dependencies etc.
For example, i've got D:\audiocraft folder. Can i install PLUS in the same one? Or better to do D:\PLUS ? And the next steps?

Thank you for your help.

Sadly i myself cannot guide you how to install it on your pc as I myself do not have it installed since my GPU isn't powerful enough.
however i did find a video with explanation on how to do it, might help you out:

I might be wrong but I think you will need to create a separate folder for audiocraft plus as it does changes quite few stuff, again cannot say for sure as i have not tested it myself.
Do let me know if it worked out for you ☺

I already did install audiocraft according to your awesome instruction - https://github.com/FurkanGozukara/Stable-Diffusion/blob/main/Tutorials/AI-Music-Generation-Audiocraft-Tutorial.md

But now i'm trying to figure out how to install plus webUI. Reading your installation instr:
pip install -U audiocraft # <-already done. It means open CMD (yep, using Win11) and did this:

git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft
cd audiocraft

Now i'm in d:\audiocraft

pip install -e .
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

Thats it, Now i'm running .\demos\musicgen_app.py and it works great with native UI.

Wanna figure out - do i even need to clone your repo? Like

cmd -> git clone https://github.com/GrandaddyShmax/audiocraft_plus

and the same steps like cd audiocraft_plus , pip install.... and so on. Do i need it? Or maybe i just need to put some files into my original audiocraft folder and just start .py to use PLUS WebUI?

my english sucks but i'm trying as i can :D

I think instead of cloning the original repo of audiocraft, just clone mine which is audiocraft plus. So you only need to clone a repo once
After that follow the exact steps and I believe it should work for you

Hi there,
I'm just dealing with Python, libraries, etc. for the first time ... total beginner :D

A basic question: I had already seen that use is made of CUDA cores - can I get your WEB UI to run on MacOS at all or does my journey end here :)?

Thanks in advance

i clone it...
after that i did everything according to this instr - https://github.com/FurkanGozukara/Stable-Diffusion/blob/main/Tutorials/AI-Music-Generation-Audiocraft-Tutorial.md

cd audiocraft_plus
python -m venv venv
cd venv
cd scripts
activate
...

So the last 2 string:

call .\venv\Scripts\activate.bat
python app.py --inbrowser

Only after all those steps PLUS WebUI works well.
I was just trying to make it easy for dummies like me...

Btw if someone wanna make a shortcut on your desktop, -make an empty file and put in it:

call "d:\\GitHub\\audiocraft_plus\\venv\\Scripts\\activate.bat"
python "d:\\GitHub\\audiocraft_plus\\app.py"

d:\GitHub\audiocraft_plus ---> put here your path to plus version.

for original audiocraft:

call "d:\\GitHub\\audiocraft\\venv\\Scripts\\activate.bat"
python "d:\\GitHub\\audiocraft\demos\\musicgen_app.py"

Then save it on your desktop or anywhere you want as .bat or .cmd

there was already a question related to Mac OS, check out this issue: #15
in short, i made an additional branch for Mac OS called mac-os-fix, check it out and let me know if it works for you

Yes. https://github.com/FurkanGozukara/Stable-Diffusion/blob/main/Tutorials/AI-Music-Generation-Audiocraft-Tutorial.md - This instruction i actually works on Windows also for plus version.
It's kinda weird coz a few days ago i use it only with

python app.py

Now i need to create an environment, activate and launch it. Dunno what changed in my system ... or in audiocraft repo :/
