I just checked it and it works like described. So, you are trying to do a local installation https://github.com/blueturtleai/gimp-stable-diffusion/tree/main/local ?
Those instructions are for linux. I am running on windows and it seems like a lot of developers are flat out forgetting to provide instructions for windows or just don't care or listen to people when they have issues, like you are doing now.

You did write, you got problems on huggingface and didn’t mention, that you try to run it on Windows.
The instructions are also for Windows running WSL2. Like I wrote in the readme, I didn’t test it on Windows. So, unfortunately I can’t help you, if you run in any Windows specific problems.
Your instructions mention WSL2 as if it refers to Windows 11 ONLY and it seems to imply a distinction you never make. The confusion is in how the instructions are written. After you mention Windows 11 it is so confusing you may as well not write anything, but regardless, when you mention Windows 11 it is literally instructions for how to install everything in Linux! (Yum is literally a linux command for the terminal) Are you just going to gaslight me now? Why not give people links (yes links) to a separate page for EACH OS and two separate pages for Windows 11 and Windows everything else. That's 4 pages. That way there is NO confusion about which instructions are for which OS. Otherwise the way things are right now I would never be able to do anything with any OS. It is a confusing hot mess. I used to write huge technical instruction manuals with visual aids 20 years ago. Your way of doing that is a nightmare for me.
The problem was not huggingface, it was YOUR instructions when I got to the huggingface step. I said that from the very beginning, that I was confused about YOUR instructions. The proper response would be "Well, here are the correct instructions typed out, sorry" Instead I waste time arguing with you when it is painfully obvious your instructions suck horribly for anything besides linux and Mac.I mean if you hate windows users then just say so in your GitHub. Or if you hate Windows just say so. I hate it but I still use it for some things. But I still need coherent instructions for using things like this plugin in windows.
TBH, I found out that the GMIC plugin has an inpaint feature that is lightning fast, simply by masking off an area, and it was not nearly the headache your plugin is. I had inpainting done faster than I could download and drop the Stable diffusion python script into my plugins folder.I just really wanted to see the capabilities of this plugin in case it did a far better job than the admittedly outdated GMIC plugin which is based on SD 1.4. And the SD 1.4 model is either linked to the GMIC servers or it is native to the plugin folders. either way it works fast
But please fix your instructions. That's all I am asking. Make them coherent. Separate them so there is no confusion. Give each OS a separate page for clarity. And differentiate between Windows 11 and other Windows OS's.Then people won't be confused about what instructions go to what.
After that, make sure that your instructions for huggungface are still valid and that they did not change their website so much the instructions no longer apply. If huggingface can no longer be used, like what happened with Google, then choose another model to link to, or tell people how they can add the model of their choice instead.
Or figure out how to link it to free models like this one https://huggingface.co/spaces/stabilityai/stable-diffusion which is free to use anonymously.
or link it to the neural.love model which is free to use or you can sign in to an account there.
I have no idea how to do any of that but there has to be a work around or a better way to link to external models.
And if you develop a plugin then it becomes a full time job to update it, make clear instructions, and adapt those instructions to be useful to new users as the web itself changes.
I also wanted to use the local plugin but can't understand how to download the necessary models to point to on my own PC so I can train or at least even use the plugin. It gives me the "invalid URL" error every time I attempt to erase a portion and then inpaint. And I think the image HAS to be 512x512 which is a really annoying limitation when you want to use it on larger images or anything twice as wide. I didn't have that limitation with GMIC.
You are the one who has full control over your product and the instructions. Telling the end user to figure it out when it is impossible to figure out is horrible customer service. No wonder most products suck these days. When people ask for help, the support acts like it's everyone else's fault.

In the readme I write "Linux, macOS and Windows 11 (WSL2) are supported."
I also write "If you want to run the server on Windows 11, WSL2 needs to be prepared before. Please follow these instructions until after you reach executing "wsl.exe" in 7. Afterwards please start with 2. from the instructions below, as Docker is already installed."
I think this is everything, which is needed. It should be possible to install the server with these information.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to give more support beyond that. This is a free plugin, which I programmed in my spare time.
Check also the stablehorde version of my plugin, For this version no local installation is needed: https://github.com/blueturtleai/gimp-stable-diffusion/tree/main/stablehorde.
That doesn't work period. Yours is the only one that loads into GIMP. The other ones do not and I have the latest 2.10 version of GIMP installed. I am giving up.
I started to follow the instructions for this plugin. Installed in GIMP, plugin loads fine but doeant work without hugginface URL. I went to huggingface & signed up. After that the isntructions do NOT match anything on huggingface. I opened the links provided and nothing is as the instructions here on GitHub are saying. No Tokens, no settings, nothing matches anything that is in the instructions. How does this work? There was no agreement to click either. Either these instructions are way outdated or you missed telling some steps.
