Installation

One-click installers

Windows	Linux	macOS	WSL
oobabooga-windows.zip	oobabooga-linux.zip	oobabooga-macos.zip	oobabooga-wsl.zip

Just download the zip above, extract it, and double-click on "start". The web UI and all its dependencies will be installed in the same folder.

• The source codes are here: https://github.com/oobabooga/one-click-installers
• There is no need to run the installers as admin.
• AMD doesn't work on Windows.
• Huge thanks to @jllllll, @ClayShoaf, and @xNul for their contributions to these installers.

Manual installation using Conda

Recommended if you have some experience with the command line.

0. Install Conda

https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html

On Linux or WSL, it can be automatically installed with these two commands:

curl -sL "https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh" > "Miniconda3.sh"
bash Miniconda3.sh

Source: https://educe-ubc.github.io/conda.html

1. Create a new conda environment

conda create -n textgen python=3.10.9
conda activate textgen

2. Install Pytorch

System	GPU	Command
Linux/WSL	NVIDIA	pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio
Linux	AMD	pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2
MacOS + MPS (untested)	Any	pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio
Windows	NVIDIA	pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117

The up-to-date commands can be found here: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/.

2.1 Special instructions

• MacOS users: oobabooga#393
• AMD users: https://rentry.org/eq3hg

3. Install the web UI

git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt

bitsandbytes

bitsandbytes >= 0.39 may not work on older NVIDIA GPUs. In that case, to use --load-in-8bit, you may have to downgrade like this:

• Linux: pip install bitsandbytes==0.38.1
• Windows: pip install https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/raw/main/bitsandbytes-0.38.1-py3-none-any.whl

Alternative: Docker

ln -s docker/{Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml,.dockerignore} .
cp docker/.env.example .env
# Edit .env and set TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST based on your GPU model
docker compose up --build

• You need to have docker compose v2.17 or higher installed. See this guide for instructions.
• For additional docker files, check out this repository.

Updating the requirements

From time to time, the requirements.txt changes. To update, use this command:

conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

Downloading models

Models should be placed inside the models/ folder.

Hugging Face is the main place to download models. These are some examples:

• Pythia
• OPT
• GALACTICA
• GPT-J 6B

You can automatically download a model from HF using the script download-model.py:

python download-model.py organization/model

For example:

python download-model.py facebook/opt-1.3b

To download a protected model, set env vars HF_USER and HF_PASS to your Hugging Face username and password (or User Access Token). The model's terms must first be accepted on the HF website.

GGML models

You can drop these directly into the models/ folder, making sure that the file name contains ggml somewhere and ends in .bin.

GPT-4chan

Instructions

GPT-4chan has been shut down from Hugging Face, so you need to download it elsewhere. You have two options:

• Torrent: 16-bit / 32-bit
• Direct download: 16-bit / 32-bit

The 32-bit version is only relevant if you intend to run the model in CPU mode. Otherwise, you should use the 16-bit version.

After downloading the model, follow these steps:

1. Place the files under models/gpt4chan_model_float16 or models/gpt4chan_model.
2. Place GPT-J 6B's config.json file in that same folder: config.json.
3. Download GPT-J 6B's tokenizer files (they will be automatically detected when you attempt to load GPT-4chan):

python download-model.py EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B --text-only

When you load this model in default or notebook modes, the "HTML" tab will show the generated text in 4chan format.

Starting the web UI

conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
python server.py

Then browse to

http://localhost:7860/?__theme=dark
