5b. You will need to update "natemac" to your user name for this guide.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Install Stable Diffusion webui:
(These same steps are also in "Aitrepreneur SUPER Stable diffusion 2.0
Installation" video and "Automatic1111 Guide")
1. Launch "Anaconda Prompt" from the Start Menu.
2. Go into your new folder [cd AI] (C:\Users\natemac\AI).
3. Clone Stable-Diffusion-webui [git clone
https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git].
4. Download "Stable Diffusion Model Weights 1.4" (You will need a Hugging Face
account).
5. Rename the file from "sd-v1-4.ckpt" to "model.ckpt".
6. Move the "model.ckpt" file to the Stable Diffusion "Models" folder (C:\Users\
natemac\AI\stable-diffusion-webui\models).
7. Download the GFPGAN File.
8. Move the "GFPGANv1.3.pth" file to root Stable Diffusion webui folder (C:\
Users\natemac\AI\stable-diffusion-webui)
9. Stable Diffusion webui is installed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Running Stable Diffusion webui:
1. Run/Double-click on the "webui-user.bat" inside the "stable-diffusion-webui"
folder (this will take longer the first time).
1b. This is complete once you see the line "To create a public link, set
`share=True` in `launch()`." in the Command Prompt.
2. Open a web browser and go-to: http://127.0.0.1:7860
3. Stable Diffusion is running.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Closing Stable Diffusion webui:
1. Close the web browser.
2. Close the Command Prompt that opened after running "webui-user.bat".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Install Dreambooth-SD-optimized:
(These steps are similar to "Aitrepreneur DREAMBOOTH" video)
1. Launch "Anaconda Prompt" from the Start Menu.
2. Go into your new folder [cd AI] (C:\Users\natemac\AI).
3. Clone Dreambooth-SD-optimized [git clone
https://github.com/gammagec/Dreambooth-SD-optimized.git].
3b. XavierXiao's version has the same steps, but a different folder name [git
clone https://github.com/XavierXiao/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion.git].

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Install Dreambooth-SD-Optimized - Build Environment:
1. Open the "environment.yaml" file (in an editor such as notepad) in the
Dreambooth-SD-optimized folder (C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-optimized).
2. Edit the first line (name: ldm) to your choosing "name: SD-Optimized". Save &
close.
3. Launch "Anaconda Prompt" from the Start Menu.
4. Go into your Dreambooth-SD-optimized folder [cd C:\Users\natemac\AI\
Dreambooth-SD-optimized].
5. Build environment [conda env create -f environment.yaml]
5b. To activate environment use [conda activate SD-Optimized]
5c. To deactivate an active environment use [conda deactivate]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Install Dreambooth-SD-optimized - Copy Files:
1. Copy "model.ckpt" from (C:\Users\natemac\AI\stable-diffusion-webui\models) to
(C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-optimized)
2. Activate the environment by typing into the Anaconda Prompt [Conda activate
SD-Optimized]
3. Dreambooth-SD-optimized is now installed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Pre-Training - Regularization Images:
1. Create folder structure in the "Dreambooth-SD-optimized" root-folder
(Dreambooth-SD-optimized/outputs/txt2img-samples/samples/) [md outputs\txt2img-
samples\samples]
2. Go-to this folder in the Anaconda Prompt [cd C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-
SD-optimized\outputs\txt2img-samples\samples]
3. Choose one of the datasets (man_euler, man_unsplash, person_ddim, woman_ddim)
4. Replacing DATASET with your choice (https://github.com/djbielejeski/Stable-
Diffusion-Regularization-Images-DATASET.git)
5. Run your dataset clone [git clone https://github.com/djbielejeski/Stable-
Diffusion-Regularization-Images-woman_ddim.git]
6. Open your new DATASET folder(Stable-Diffusion-Regularization-Images-
woman_ddim).
7. Copy your DATASET folder (woman_ddim) to the (samples) folder.
8. Delete empty download folder (Stable-Diffusion-Regularization-Images-
woman_ddim).
9. You should now have 1500 images in the folder (C:\Users\natemac\AI\
Dreambooth-SD-optimized\outputs\txt2img-samples\samples\woman_ddim).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Pre-Training - Prepping Training Samples:
1. Collect your sample images you'd like to use. At least 10.
1b. ***THE COLLECTION ON IMAGE MUST BE AN EVEN AMOUNT.***
2. Crop images as needed to not have additional info such as another person if
you are training it on a single person.
3. Use (https://www.birme.net/?target_width=512&target_height=512) to Bulk crop
and size images. Download the zip.
4. Create a folder in the root (Dreambooth-SD-optimized) folder named
"training_samples".
5. Create a folder in the (training_samples) of your training set ("C:\Users\
natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-optimized\training-samples\rhaenyra").
6. Copy your finalized Cropped & Sized images into this folder.
7. Open the "personalized.py file (in an editor such as notepad) located in
("C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-optimized\ldm\data\personalized.py").
8. We will be editing and saving line 11 ('photo of a sks {}',) to your training
name ('rhaenyra {}',).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Training a Model with your Samples:
1. Launch "Anaconda Prompt" from the Start Menu.
2. Go into your Dreambooth-SD-optimized root folder [cd C:\Users\natemac\AI\
Dreambooth-SD-optimized].
3. Take note of your TRAINING-SAMPLES-NAME (rhaenyra) your REGULARIZATION-
IMAGES-NAME (woman_ddim) & CLASS (woman).
4. We will be editing the below code:
python main.py --base configs/stable-diffusion/v1-finetune_unfrozen.yaml -t --
actual_resume model.ckpt --reg_data_root outputs\txt2img-samples\samples\
REGULARIZATION-IMAGES-NAME -n TRAINING-SAMPLES-NAME --gpus 0, --data_root
training_samples\TRAINING-SAMPLES-NAME --batch_size 2020 --class_word CLASS

5. What it should look like:

python main.py --base configs/stable-diffusion/v1-finetune_unfrozen.yaml -t --
actual_resume model.ckpt --reg_data_root outputs\txt2img-samples\samples\woman_ddim
-n rhaenyra --gpus 0, --data_root training_samples\rhaenyra --batch_size 2020 --
class_word woman

6. Training is complete even if you see an error as long as somewhere you see the
line "Another one bites the dust..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Pruning & Transfering Samples Model:
0. ***If you are running Dreambooth-SD-optimized, you will need to add
"prune_ckpt.py" from "XavierXiao Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion" clone to the
"Dreambooth-SD-optimized" root folder.***
1. Find the name of the training data folder (C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-
optimized\logs\) "rhaenyra2022-09-28T11-46-55_rhaenyra".
2. Launch "Anaconda Prompt" from the Start Menu.
3. Go into your Dreambooth-SD-optimized root folder [cd C:\Users\natemac\AI\
Dreambooth-SD-optimized].
4. Run the following command with TRAINED-DATA-FOLDER replaced:
python "prune_ckpt.py" --ckpt "C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-optimized\logs\
TRAINED-DATA-FOLDER\checkpoints\last.ckpt"

5. What it should look like:

python "prune_ckpt.py" --ckpt "C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-optimized\logs\
rhaenyra2022-09-28T11-46-55_rhaenyra\checkpoints\last.ckpt"

6. There is now a roughly 2GB file named "last-pruned.ckpt" inside the

"checkpoints folder (C:\Users\natemac\AI\Dreambooth-SD-optimized\logs\rhaenyra2022-
09-28T11-46-55_rhaenyra\checkpoints\). Transfer this file to your Stable Diffusions
Models folder (C:\Users\natemac\AI\stable-diffusion-webui\models).
7. Rename the "last-pruned.ckpt" file to your TRAINING-SAMPLES-NAME
"rhaenyra.ckpt".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
