[Bug]: install gets stuck on "Cloning Stable Diffusion into repositories\stable-diffusion..."

[Wladdie]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

When i start the webui-user.bat everything works fine until it gets to the step where it should clone the SD repos Someone told me that running the batch file from cmd could fix this but it didnt work for me I already tried letting it run over night and it didnt help

I had a problem before that where it couldnt find python and git but after setting the path in the file it worked

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Go to stable-diffusion-webui-master directory
2. doubleclick the webui-user.bat
3. wait until it gets to the cloning step

What should have happened?

It should clone the repo and proceed with the installation

Commit where the problem happens

Ive got a Win 10 PC with Geforce 1060 6GB 32GB ram Ryzen 5 2600x 3,6 GHz

[pcgreen-john]

Similar problem. Trying to install on a GTX 960 with 2GB VRAM (i7 2600, 16GB RAM, Win 10) I had to add --medvram --skip-torch-cuda-test to proceed with the installation as suggested from the script.

Then I had to run e:\SD\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip as again suggested by the installation script.

Running it for the third time, it halts here:

Does anyone know how to fix the problem of: RuntimeError: Couldn't clone Stable Diffusion.?

[OrugenZero]

Had this problem. it seems the problem is with your git installation or path, maybe try reinstalling it.

For me, I just had to delete the manual git path I had added to my webui-user.bat and put an entry for git in my windows PATH.

forgive me if this doesn't sound right, I'm a newb, but it worked for me

[Hades-Su]

Wait for it a while longer. I waited a long time and finally succeeded, or replace it with your own git in webui-user.bat.

[Wackdonalds]

Sorry if i sound stupid as I know nothing about Pc's or coding and all that. What does it mean to "put an entry for git in my windows PATH" ?

[Saktisampad02]

[BlueCatWang]

Had the same problem. Installing Git on my windows solved the issue.

Thank you for sharing info with others, I have installed the latest git version and the error keeps popping up, what else you think it might be? thank you

[Xjkvest]

I was running into the same issue and the only thing that helped was me installing both the 32 and 64 bit versions and then running Command Prompt as administrator. I'm not sure which of them helped, but I was successful

[Fucking-the-life]

我也遇到了同样的问题，问题出错的原因是因为无法在cmd命令行执行 git 命令。这是因为虽然安装了git但是没有在环境变量中配置git的路径所以cmd没有办法执行git 命令。只要在环境变量的path中配置git的bin文件夹路径即可。

Thank you for sharing. I think your method was correct and perfectly solved my problem. And I am a computer noob, so I just went to google for how to add environment variables and posted here to provide:

1. Find your git installation path first, locate the bin folder, and copy the path in the bin folder

2. Open Computer Settings "About">>"Advanced System Settings">>"Environment Variables"

3. Find "path", click "edit", create a new path, paste the just GIT path, and click OK

4. Rerun webui-user.bat

for now it should work and solve the clone error 128

[Ivan-Kudryavcev]

it worked for me:

git config --global --unset http.postBuffer

I do it as per the instructions. The problem persists.Are there any other solutions?

[utkars234]

I was using my mobile hotspot for running webui-user.bat and each time I was getting the error " fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git/': Send failure: Connection was reset ". After researching the solution, I tried to switch my data connection from sim1 to sim2, and Boom it worked for me.

Conclusion. It's mostly a connection problem. Try to change your wifi connection or switch it to your mobile hotspot or connect with your friend wifi and then retry
