Removing the version number requirement for torch ( #274 ), I get the following:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

This is on windows. Only solution visible at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39060669/python-matplotlib-install-issue-on-windows-7-for-freetype-png-packages is changing version.

Removing version number requirement, which seems to help.

Also,

pypng
freetype-py

are required but missing from requirements.txt

Hello, do you have the official checkpoints? The current download links have access restrictions. If you have them, could you please share them with me? Thank you. @ghostlyghastly
