Having trouble installing - I've tried several time

[aiartalchemy]

Windows 10 - 4090 GPU

I tried following the YouTube video instructions.
I also tried following the directions page.

I reinstalled both Git and Python version 3.10.6.

The first time I run the bath file I get this;
_E:\sdnext>webui.bat --debug --use-cuda

Using python: "C:\Users\mikie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe"
Creating VENV: E:\sdnext\venv
Using VENV: E:\sdnext\venv
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "E:\sdnext\installer.py", line 135, in setup_logging
from rich.theme import Theme
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rich'
Press any key to continue . . ._

If I run the bat file again, I first get his warning.

WARNING Deleted files: ["tal: detected dubious ownership in repository at 'E:/sdnext'", ":/sdnext' is
on a file system that does not record ownership", 'add an exception for this directory, call:',
'it config --global --add safe.directory E:/sdnext']

It continues and then say's that it's install TORCH but then it stops working and I get this;

│ E:\sdnext\modules\loader.py:18 in │
│ │
│ 17 # os.environ.setdefault('TORCH_LOGS', '-all') │
│ ❱ 18 import torch # pylint: disable=C0411 │
│ 19 if torch.version.startswith('2.5.0'): │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'
Press any key to continue . . .

This is on a brand new USB Hard Drive with nothing else on it.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Update:

I did some googling and managed to make the Folder safe
Then I managed to upgrade pip.

this got rid of many of the errors, however when I run the program, it installs TORCH and I still get this error.

This should not be needed. This sounds like a permission issue - make sure you're using normal user when cloning sdnext and then running it the first time. You should never use administrator.
