I've been wasting like an hour of my life trying to get this to run. I followed the instructions on the front page, ran webui-user.bat and it immediately gives the error message that it can't install torch and torchvision.
I saw the thread saying the same thing, and the only real help was being told to install anaconda (which shouldn't be necessary) and pip (which IS necessary).
The error still came up anyway so I opened launch.py with notepad to read the commands themselves and try to find where it's trying to download and install these packages. I managed to easily find the URL where torch and torch vision are being downloaded from, so I got those which are whl files but I've no idea how to install them, so I just put them a python folder that had other whl files. Ran python but no idea how to get it to install the packages anyway...
Still I edited launch.py again to ignore torch and just try to install the next thing. Still ran into another error message. Guess what. Can't install gfpgan. Error message says you need git installed. So I download and install that.
Ran the bat again. ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE. Can't install gfpgan, followed by a shitload of text explaining the error.
How can ANYONE get this crap to work at all when you have to jump through so many hoops? Why isn't there just a normal installer??!?!? WHy is the TUTORIAL so grossly incomplete? How the fuck is anyone supposed to troubleshoot this when your "installer" doesn't even work when you have the required software? FIX YOUR TUTORIAL OR MAKE AN INSTALLER THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME WANT TO BASH MY BRAINS AGAINST THE WALL
