Issues with installation

[clausejmbm]

Hallo @mashb1t

I am a general PC user and only use my PC for basic daily tasks. I tried installing the software by following the instructions, but at the end of the installation, I received the following error message. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to fix it. I also tried searching for help but haven’t had any success. Whenever I try to add a command, cmd crashes immediately. What I understand is that I need an NVIDIA drive, but I don't know which one to download. Please help.

without a GPU you are out of luck with your specs as the 16GB RAM are not sufficient (32GB min. requirement when running with CPU only, arg --always-cpu).
Please find the system requirements in the readme.

Is there an good cloud alternative?

for simply testing Fooocus i can recommend Google Colab (it's free, link in readme).

Be aware that there are indeed scam websites: #2146
