安装 OpenAI CLIP： D:\proj\sd.webui\system\python\python.exe -m pip install --no-build-isolation "git+ https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git@d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1#egg=clip"

安装 OpenCLIP： D:\proj\sd.webui\system\python\python.exe -m pip install --no-build-isolation https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip/archive/bb6e834e9c70d9c27d0dc3ecedeebeaeb1ffad6b.zip

Looking at this issue, the problem is almost certainly network-related or a Python environment issue rather than a clip-specific bug. The fact that you don't have a venv folder yet suggests the installation is failing very early, before the virtual environment is even fully created. Can you try running run.bat from an administrator command prompt and paste the full console output here? The "Press any key to continue" message appears when there's a fatal error, but we need to see what comes before it. Also check if you have Python 3.10.x installed system-wide and that it's in your PATH - the webui requires a specific Python version range and will fail silently if it can't find a compatible interpreter.

i have the same issue and when i run run.bat from an administrator command prompt this is appears

INCOMPATIBLE PYTHON VERSION

This program is tested with 3.10.6 Python, but you have 3.14.2.
If you encounter an error with "RuntimeError: Couldn't install torch." message,
or any other error regarding unsuccessful package (library) installation,
please downgrade (or upgrade) to the latest version of 3.10 Python
and delete current Python and "venv" folder in WebUI's directory.

You can download 3.10 Python from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/

Alternatively, use a binary release of WebUI: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/releases/tag/v1.0.0-pre

Use --skip-python-version-check to suppress this warning.

It absolutely is a wrong version of Python issue. Just had to fix my own. I had to track it down in appdata local and just delete the old files then manually install just the 3.10.6 once I got it and installed + added to path it's working fine.

1. Clone the Repository

Note: The main branch was last updated two years ago (2024), while the dev branch was last updated on December 18, 2025. According to feedback from issues #17213 and #17235, the dev branch works correctly, so we'll use it.

Option 1: Clone then switch to dev branch

git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git
cd stable-diffusion-webui
git switch dev
git pull

Option 2: Directly clone dev branch

git clone -b dev https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git
cd stable-diffusion-webui

2. Python Environment (Choose One Option)

Option A: Use Conda (Recommended for environment isolation)

conda create -n sd_webui python=3.10.6 -y
conda activate sd_webui

Option B: Directly install Python 3.10.6

• Download: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.6/python-3.10.6-amd64.exe
• Important: During installation, check "Add Python to PATH"

3. Run the Installation Script

This process will create a venv virtual environment.

Windows:

.\webui-user.bat

Linux/Mac:

./webui.sh

4. Fix CLIP Installation Failure (If Encountered)

If you encounter CLIP installation errors like:

• Couldn't Install Clip

• ERROR: Failed to build 'https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1.zip'

First repair the build tools in the venv environment, then install CLIP:

Windows:

.\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install wheel
.\venv\Scripts\Python.exe -m pip install "setuptools<70"
.\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --no-build-isolation git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git@d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1

Linux/Mac:

source venv/bin/activate
pip install wheel
pip install "setuptools<70"
pip install --no-build-isolation git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git@d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1
deactivate

5. Continue Running the Installation Script

After fixing CLIP, run the installation script again:
Windows:

.\webui-user.bat

Linux/Mac:

./webui.sh

PS: Linux/Mac steps have not been tested personally.

@WhizZest Thanks for the workaround, saved a good amount of time. I can confirm it works on linux.

On a side note no idea what the long term fix will be, whether CLIP will change to work with newer setup tools or if this will change but in the mean time if someone who can modify the main page could add a sentence about this it would be good.

1. Клонируйте репозиторий

Примечание: основное ветку последний раз обновляли два года назад (2024), а ветку разработки — 18 декабря 2025 года. Согласно отзывам из задач #17213 и #17235 , ветка разработки работает корректно, поэтому мы будем её использовать.

Вариант 1: Клонировать репозиторий, затем переключиться на ветку разработки.

git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git
cd stable-diffusion-webui
git switch dev
git pull

Вариант 2: Непосредственно клонировать ветку разработки.

git clone -b dev https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git
cd stable-diffusion-webui

2. Среда разработки Python (выберите один вариант)

Вариант А: Использовать Conda (рекомендуется для изоляции среды).

conda create -n sd_webui python=3.10.6 -y
conda activate sd_webui

Вариант B: Непосредственно установить Python 3.10.6

• Скачать: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.6/python-3.10.6-amd64.exe
• Важно: во время установки установите флажок «Добавить Python в PATH».

3. Запустите скрипт установки

В результате этого процесса будет создана виртуальная среда venv.

Окна:

.\webui-user.bat

Linux/Mac:

./webui.sh

4. Устранение ошибки установки CLIP (если таковая возникла)

Если вы столкнулись с ошибками установки CLIP, например:

• Не удалось установить клип
• ОШИБКА: Не удалось собрать ' https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1.zip '

Сначала восстановите инструменты сборки в виртуальной среде, затем установите CLIP:

Окна:

.\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install wheel
.\venv\Scripts\Python.exe -m pip install "setuptools<70"
.\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --no-build-isolation git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git@d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1

Linux/Mac:

source venv/bin/activate
pip install wheel
pip install "setuptools<70"
pip install --no-build-isolation git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git@d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1
deactivate

5. Продолжите выполнение скрипта установки.

После исправления CLIP запустите установочный скрипт еще раз: Windows:

.\webui-user.bat

Linux/Mac:

./webui.sh

P.S.: Шаги для Linux/Mac лично не тестировались.

remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion.git/' not found

@alekseyHunter You definitely didn't follow my steps precisely. The first step was to resolve the problem you encountered. Please refer to issue #17213 for details.

"Run the Installation Script"

File name? There is no installation script

Thank you, it working

@alekseyHunter你显然没有严格按照我的步骤操作。第一步是解决你遇到的问题。详情请参考问题#17213 。

这是一个 Git 克隆失败（error code 128），核心报错是：

结合你的日志，可以精确定位问题来源。

一、真正的问题在哪？

关键命令被展开成了：

前面多了一个换行.

• 这意味着：仓库 URL 变量里混入了非法字符（空字符串或换行）

而 Git 在解析路径时，把某段内容解析成了空路径 ""，于是报：

二、为什么会这样？

可能原因是，你手动修改了仓库地址，而且改的时候可能复制粘贴时带了：

• 换行
• 隐藏字符

虽然issue #17213 提到，如果不想切换dev分支，可以手动修改，但更推荐、更可靠的做法是切换到dev分支，手动修改很可能引发意想不到的错误。

thankk you for help,i got it:)

I was going in circles getting this error about building the wheel, clip and error 128 I was losing my mind.

Here is the solution:
Step 1: After the authentication the URL it directs to was removed so it cannot collect the resources. Please create an SSH key in GITHUB and add to script in notepad to force the authentication. (use gpt to show you the steps to do this)

Step 2: Then use this URL created from another user https://github.com/joypaul162/Stability-AI-stablediffusion.git. This is the correct URL.
run-cmd
set STABLE_DIFFUSION_REPO=https://github.com/joypaul162/Stability-AI-stablediffusion.git

Run the bat file.
Step 3: The last step you will encounter running the bat file (AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled...Stable diffusion model failed to load). Please install missing torch,
run-cmd
pip install --upgrade torch==2.1.2+cu121 torchvision==0.16.2+cu121 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121.

Open Stable-diffusion from the folder and run the bat file.

I will admit I am bumbling about and I am not proficient with these kind of actions, but would be very gratefull if I could some clearcut directions towards a solution :)

Hi @PsychotropeRandom,

Good news! The CLIP installation issue has already been fixed in the development branch (dev branch) of the project. You don't need to run those complex commands if you use the correct branch.

Simplified Installation Guide (No Technical Knowledge Required)

1. Download the dev branch directly

   • Go to this link: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip
   • Click "Download" to get the dev branch as a zip file

2. Extract the zip file

   • Right-click the downloaded zip file and select "Extract All..."
   • Choose a folder to extract to (e.g., D:\AI\stable-diffusion-webui)

3. Run the installation

   • Go to the extracted folder
   • Double-click webui-user.bat
   • The installation will run automatically, and the CLIP issue should be fixed

4. Wait for completion

   • The script will install all dependencies, including CLIP
   • When it's done, you'll see a local URL like http://127.0.0.1:7860 in the window

Why this works:

The dev branch has a fix (PR #17293) that automatically handles the build dependencies for CLIP, so you don't need to run those complicated commands manually.

If you still have issues:

1. Check if Git is installed

   • Press Windows Key + R
   • Type cmd and press Enter
   • Type git --version and press Enter
   • If you see a version number, Git is installed. If not, download it from https://git-scm.com/download/win

2. Check Python version

   • Press Windows Key + R
   • Type cmd and press Enter
   • Type python --version and press Enter
   • You should see Python 3.10.x (recommended: 3.10.6)
   • If you have a different version, download Python 3.10.6 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/
   • During installation, make sure to check "Add Python to PATH"

3. Other troubleshooting

   • Make sure you're using Windows 10 or 11
   • Ensure you have a stable internet connection
   • Try running webui-user.bat as Administrator (right-click and select "Run as administrator")

Let me know if you need further help!

Thank you for the help, WhizZest.
I appreciate it, tremendously!

Sadly, no success yet.
Two friends assited me yesterday evening and we spend another couple of hours on this. I have an AMD GPU, so we also tried out anothe webui:

git clone https://github.com/lshqqytiger/stable-diffusion-webui-directml && cd stable-diffusion-webui-directml && git submodule init && git submodule update

Still no luck. Annoyingly, different errors keep popping up.
Switched to python 3.11 at some point as directed by another forumposting but also without success.

I still wanted to thank you, though ;)

Hola @PsychotropeRandom,

¡Buenas noticias! El problema de instalación de CLIP ya se ha solucionado en la rama de desarrollo (rama de desarrollo) del proyecto. No es necesario ejecutar esos comandos complejos si utiliza la rama correcta.

Guía de instalación simplificada (no se requiere conocimiento técnico)

1. **Descargar la rama de desarrollo directamente**
   
   * Vaya a este enlace: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip
   * Haga clic en "Descargar" para obtener la rama de desarrollo como un archivo zip

2. **Extraer el archivo zip**
   
   * Haga clic con el botón derecho en el archivo zip descargado y seleccione "Extraer todo..."
   * Elija una carpeta a la que extraer (p. ej., `D:\AI\stable-diffusion-webui`)

3. **Ejecutar la instalación**
   
   * Vaya a la carpeta extraída
   * Doble clic `webui-user.bat`
   * La instalación se ejecutará automáticamente y el problema de CLIP debe ser corregido

4. **Esperen a completar**
   
   * El script instalará todas las dependencias, incluido el CLIP
   * Cuando esté hecho, verás una URL local como  `http://127.0.0.1:7860`En la ventana

Por qué esto funciona:

La rama de desarrollo tiene una solución (PR #17293#17293) que maneja automáticamente las dependencias de compilación para CLIP, por lo que no es necesario ejecutar esos comandos complicados manualmente.

Si todavía tiene problemas:

1. **Comprueba si Git está instalado**
   
   * Prensa `Windows Key + R`
   * Tipo  `cmd`y pulse Enter
   * Tipo  `git --version`y pulse Enter
   * Si ve un número de versión, Git está instalado. Si no, descárguelo desde https://git-scm.com/download/win

2. **Comprueba la versión de Python**
   
   * Prensa `Windows Key + R`
   * Tipo  `cmd`y pulse Enter
   * Tipo  `python --version`y pulse Enter
   * Deberías ver Python 3.10.x (recomendado: 3.10.6)
   * Si tiene una versión diferente, descargue Python 3.10[.6 de https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/)
   * Durante la instalación, asegúrese de marcar "Añadir Python a PATH"

3. **Otra solución de problemas**
   
   * Asegúrese de que está utilizando Windows 10 u 11
   * Asegúrese de tener una conexión a Internet estable
   * Intenta correr  `webui-user.bat`como administrador (haga clic con el botón derecho y seleccione "Ejecutar como administrador")

¡Avísame si necesitas más ayuda!

.\venv\Scripts\Python.exe -m pip install "setuptools<70"
.\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --no-build-isolation git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git@d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1

Linux/Mac:

source venv/bin/activate
pip install wheel
pip install "setuptools<70"
pip install --no-build-isolation git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git@d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1
deactivate

5. Continue Running the Installation Script

After fixing CLIP, run the installation script again: Windows:

.\webui-user.bat

Linux/Mac:

./webui.sh

PS: Linux/Mac steps have not been tested personally.

Ok my only question since I'm having a similar issue, where do I put the venv stuff into? I'm new to doing this lol
