Error on initial Windows install

[Onexiarc]

Describe the bug

When attempting to install the webui for the first time on windows I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml' I have installed PyYAML in the venv and in my local user python.

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have done this twice by just extracting the source and running the start_windows batch file.

Same issue

Yeah I also had a similar issue with the stable diffusion webui but I managed to fix that6 one by installing the requirements in the venv and slightly altering a few requirements.

I'm running into this same issue on macOS.

Have you solved your problem? I am also facing the same issue and it's giving me a headache.

use an older release. For example.

[DeebsStirdy]

same problem.

to correct this issue, I launched "update_windows.bat" then relaunched "start_windows.bat" and now all is okay for me.

use an older release. For example.

I tried that older version on a fresh install of Win10 and ran into this bug which is closed, but people are still reporting it as a problem. https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/issues/1841

I had the same issue with the build the most recent build (snapshot-2023-12-31) It turned out that I hadn't really installed the requirements.

1. Try running update_windows.bat in case you haven't merged with the most recent release.
2. Make sure you're in the correct virtual environment (just run start_windows.bat if you must, it'll still put you into the venv even if it errors out).
3. Run pip install -r <correct_requirements.txt>. Refer to the table here to find the correct txt-file. It looks like it's stuck at some point but it finished after 2-3 minutes for me.
4. Rerun start_windows.bat. That's all I did.

Hope this helps!

Another solution if you don't want to edit the webui.py which could cause git pull upgrade issues due to edited code or adding the directory to your path which could mess up other conda projects, just do the following:

Copy _conda.exe from installer_files\conda to the root directory and rename it to conda.exe
