Install packages to a different directory.

[SyamMohan2103]

Need assistance to install the packages(pytorch..etc) into another directory.
I am following the install instructions shared in the README. I want to install the packages to another drive instead of the C drive, as my C drive is already full. Is there a configuration that I can add to change this directory?

System: Windows 11

I use Linux and cloned AUTOMATIC1111 on a second hard drive, when running webui.sh or the batch file for windows the python packages should be installed in a sub folder (virtual python envionment), but it's possible, the pip cache is on you partition c:. You can clean it with "pip cache purge".

You can change the venv location in webui-user.bat, but it would probably be better to install the whole thing on a different drive, as the models you install will likely take up even more space.

after installation has finished you can also clean you pip cache to save some space
