Fooocus won't after installation

[scsapphire]

Hi guys, I'm new here, and I need some help. I installed Fooocus, but I'm having issues getting it to open. After I click run and it installs, the last line says click any key to continue, so I do and nothing happens. What can I do to fix it? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

what OS are you using? , if its windows 11 right click on install and select run as administrator, it may work as it could be an issue with security privileges. i had the same issue with another programme before .. just hanging on the press any key

[mashb1t]

running as administrator causes the terminal (CMD) to use the context of system32, which results in Fooocus nit being found in this path.
Do not run Fooocus as admin using the bat file, but only if you know what you're doing with an elevated terminal and changed path.

Hi Mick, Thank you for getting back to me. Yes I have windows 11. I will try that and let you know. Hopefully it will work this time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Regards, scsaphire

Hi Mashbit and Theolbar,
I did what you suggested, Theoldbar, and clicked the run as administrator option, but still nothing happened. Mashbit, I have attached a short video I took of what happens when I try to run the program. As you guys can see, it refuses to run. What am I missing? Is there another version that will work with my Windows 11? My laptop is only 3 or 4 months old. It's pretty fast too, with plenty of memory. I'm not sure what the issue is. I would love to get this thing running, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
scsapphire

Thank you for the reply. But nope I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know what a bat file is. Lol. Is there another option where the software self installs like other software or a cloud option or another software that does the same thing? My tech saviness isn't quite there with limited time to do it in. Your input is greatly appreciated. Regards, scsapphire

I am having the same trouble.
I installed and tried to run the programm but the last command I can see was press any key...
But after that nothing happens apart from the command window being closed.

I was having similar issue then i got to know that i am using AMD GPU, so i have to follow different method, this youtube link really helped me out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcfEWVvrzrA

he talked about following modifications

Windows (AMD GPUs)

Note that the minimal requirement for different platforms is different.

Same with Windows. Download the software and edit the content of run.bat as:

.\python_embeded\python.exe -m pip uninstall torch torchvision torchaudio torchtext functorch xformers -y
.\python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install torch-directml
.\python_embeded\python.exe -s Fooocus\entry_with_update.py --directml
pause

Then run the run.bat.

Ok thank you for the info. How do I find out what my GPU is? Thanks for your advice. Sapphire
