Got issue when install CLIP

[Evereset]

Couldn't install clip when I click the webui-user.Try to download a CLIP but fail to install too,don't know what to do,please help.

[Heathen]

Try running
git config http.sslVerify "false"
If that doesn't work, might be a network or a pip issue.

[Evereset]

System said maybe not pip issue,and I update pip to the newest one,maybe internet issue I guess.I surffer from bad connection a lot.

[freezelion]

It solves the problem on my side

[Evereset]

sovled by change to another desk.wtf?

[wudi1107]

Could you say how to fix the error in detail?

[wandering2025]

Have you solved the problem? Same problem. Any detailed steps to fix it?

[war3scv]

well not for me

[R41hanFever14]

its not stable problems. its git problems. git dont have premission to add or edit temp folder. it must administrator. i change my temp folder premission to full control for all user. then clip and gfpgan start to download correctly.

i hope u guys fix.

[LucianoDaluz]

Hi, I'm getting the same error reported.

I tried running the below command directly from a new PowerShell window
git clone --filter=blob:none --quiet https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git 'C:\Users\Wenxi\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-build-k_6aapsi'

It can run very successfully
However, if I run the webui-user.bat file directly, this command does not execute successfully.

I also tried in other and network environment, also tried to use the proxy and vpn
Still not working

Is it possible to manually install the clip package here and then skip the step of installing it in this bat file?

I tried to modify the webui-user.bat file

set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--clip-models-path 'D:\Project\AIPic\CLIP'

But it will still continue to try to install the clip

[war3scv]

samething here Installing clip/ note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip,

and it tell me it might be a pip problem before I upated the pip. what a trick.

I tried for a long time but did not succeed ,ended up deleting all Stable Diffusion files and used colab instead. But I figured out it may be a ssl error which also appeared in pip update and running an exe calling API. Since you are able to update pip, maybe your ssl module works fine.

Maybe you need:

[stephvnieL]

I been getting the same thing, is this an internet problem？

[R41hanFever14]

No Its Not, Try Update It or Install Manualy I Think

[cyhttc]

i have same error

[charlwin]

It looks you are using Windows deployment and the problem is caused by folder access permission limitation. So try this simple way:

1. Input "cmd' in Search input box at bottom left of Windows
2. Launch “cmd” as administrator, you will have a superuser level CLI window
3. Find your webui installation path, change directory to it in the CLI window
4. Launch webui-user.bat by typing "./webui-user.bat" in the CLI window

[GuruGhantal]

It didn't work plz help

[PonySubway]

I encountered the same issues in macOS 13, problem solved by granting disk access for Terminal.

[Kuchavo]

I had the same problem, but it was a network.
I'm living in China now, changing of VPN provider helped me)

Hi Everyone , I have found the fix by installing it manually,
activate the venv environment
git clone https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git
cd CLIP
pip install .

It worked for me. best of luck

[DamonDay]

I ran into this issue, too.
D:\sdw\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
this is how I reolve it and hope it helps.

[Palash2368]

just changed my DNS to google and things worked. Try this hack

[akamittal]

I resolved this issue when I run my cmd "non administrator" mode. Please check if you are using cmd with administrator permissions.

Решил проблему на WINDOWS. Работает для AUTOMATIC1111, StabilityMatrix и https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge
Последовательность.

1. Клонируем репозиторий https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git Можно в любую папку.
2. Архивируем репозиторий в ZIP файл (Например CLIP.zip)
3. Отредактируем файл по адресу: /modules/launch_utils.py"
   Ищем строку clip_package = os.environ.get('CLIP_PACKAGE', "https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1.zip") Редактируем ее.
   clip_package = os.environ.get('CLIP_PACKAGE', "F:/aimodels/clip/CLIP.zip")
   Вместо моего пути F:/aimodels/clip/ будет ваш путь к архиву.
   Готово, однако этот подход не подошел для open_clip, так что проделывать тоже самое нет смысла. Вместо этого устанавливал его отдельно:
4. Установка open_clip:

• Клонируете репозиторий https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip.git в основную папку (там где находится файл webui-user.bat)
• Войдите в консоль в этой папке (CMD в адресной строке проводника).
• Запускаем venv:

cd venv/Scripts
activate.bat

Внутри консоли возвращаемся в корневую папку:
cd ../../
Устанавливаем open_clip:

sd open_clip
pip install .

Теперь можно прямо из этой сессии запустить webui-user.bat или run.bat
Он установит отсутствующие зависимости. В дальнейшем будет запускаться без проблем.
