[Bug]: Linux installation instruction problems

[axxelh]

Checklist

• The issue has not been resolved by following the troubleshooting guide
• The issue exists on a clean installation of FooocusPlus
• The issue exists in the current version of FooocusPlus
• The issue has not been reported before recently
• The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

What happened?

The Linux install instructions contains errors, some of which appear to be related to recent code and packaging changes. While I was able to get a half-working install in Docker and an LXC with some fixes, its not clear to me that all functionality worked as expected.

Leaving these notes in case its helpful to some future attempt to get this working:

• Linux install guide suggests that you need SupportPack.7z, but many expected files from the UserDir are missing and are not downloaded automatically. The Windows installation (FooocusPlus.7z) contains a complete UserDir that works. This surfaces as unclear Python errors when various expected files are missing.

• The Linux install script from the wiki uses "python_embedded" as the venv name, however launch_util.py uses that path to set is_win32_standalone_build which then leads to various errors because the Linux Python isn't the expected version, etc. of the Windows bundle.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Attempt to follow https://github.com/DavidDragonsage/FooocusPlus/wiki/Installation-Script-for-Linux in an Ubuntu 22.04 environment.

Mr. Redmond (@iwr-redmond) is our Linux expert and will be able to help, but in my limited knowledge two things come to mind:

1. We do not currently support Docker
2. I was not aware that Linux is using "python_embedded" for the Python libraries. I will tighten up the coding in launch_util and update this thread when I am done.

Are you referring to missing files in UserDir/models? The rest of UserDir is built during runtime.

[DavidDragonsage]

@axxelh The error with launch_util is resolved in FooocusPlus 1.0.7 Hotfix 16.

[DavidDragonsage]

@axxelh If it's of any help, I try to keep the program files current at Hugging Face in FooocusPlusAI.7z. It now contains Hotfix 16.

This may be helpful in giving you a clean start and avoiding the updating process (except for changes in the Python libraries).

@DavidDragonsage

I'm aware of no official Docker support, but see the same issues in an LXC container. From the point of view of your code that should be equivalent to a standard Ubuntu install. Given this issue I figured I'd mention I tried both.

Yes, I'm referring to UserDir/models. At least one issue is that models/prompt_expansion/fooocus_expansion is not fully populated by SupportPack.7z. In my observation it does not work as delivered and nothing additional is downloaded no matter how long I waited.

I did not try a completely unpopulated install (no SupportPack.7z), but can confirm that with a FooocusPlus.7z UserDir it seems to work.

[DavidDragonsage]

Unfortunately I have no idea how the Linux installation works, but the most crucial models are located in FooocusPlus.7z. The SupportPack really is optional and it does not duplicate any contents that is in FooocusPlus.7z. The model folders in FooocusPlus.7z must be available for FooocusPlus to run.

I see nothing in the script that looks like it installs those files, but I do know that Mr. Redmond is running FooocusPlus under Linux. I'm sure he will be able to sort this out.

Hi all

I'm rewriting the installer to be more flexible. At present the intention is to install the Support Pack so that all the internal functions work, and then let checkpoints be downloaded when presets are selected.

[DavidDragonsage]

Do you need a separate Linux pack for the models that are currently only found in FooocusPlus.7z? Its not like they change very often - actually I cannot remember the last time they did change.

[iwr-redmond]

Yes, that would be helpful please @DavidDragonsage. I was of the understanding that the models archive was just a handy collection of checkpoints from the presets.

[DavidDragonsage]

It does contain three base models and several LoRAs, but there are also components like the prompt expansion that are core to Fooocus. I am not sure if they are all downloadable from within FooocusPlus, but even if they are the combination of so many missing elements would likely be difficult to recover from.

I am making up a new Linux pack. It contains all of FooocusPlus.7z apart from the repo. itself and the two startup batch files. The means that the size will only be slightly smaller than FooocusPlus.7z. Therefore it will also be about 26GB in size. I gather that you retrieve the repo. components directly from GitHub. The repo. does not contain the two startup batch files, so I will include them in the Linux pack.

It will take about two hours to create, test and upload this pack - all operations involve my internal hard drive.
