hi guys welcome back in this video I am
0:02
going to show you how to set up and run
0:04
focus on Google collab focus is a great
0:08
and easy to ous interface for stable
0:10
diffusion and for those who may not have
0:12
a powerful enough computer Google collab
0:15
allows you to use it for
0:18
free go to the first link I provided in
0:21
the description we'll be needing it to
0:22
get started using
0:25
cab then scroll down to the collab
0:28
section
0:30
the first thing we want to do after
0:31
we've gone over everything is click on
0:33
the open in collab link once you do this
0:36
it will open it up in collab but we
0:38
don't want to just use it from here you
0:40
could but if we make any changes which
0:43
I'm going to show you how to do they
0:44
won't save and you'll have to keep
0:46
putting those
0:48
in the best way is to click on copy to
0:52
drive
1:01
you'll see it's now showing up as copy
1:03
of focus
1:06
collab I can come in here and just click
1:08
on that and open it
1:16
again at this point we can just go ahead
1:20
hit the Run button and everything would
1:22
run and we'd be running
1:24
Focus I'm going to show you more
1:26
information on what you can do to
1:28
customize or change some of those things
1:29
things because you're probably going to
1:32
want to do that at some point maybe not
1:34
the first time you run it the first
1:37
thing to understand is how this works
1:39
when you hit that run button these first
1:41
four lines tell it to set up the
1:43
environment and it clones Focus from
1:46
GitHub into the folder on
1:48
collab every time you go to use this it
1:51
has to go through that process of
1:53
cloning bringing everything in
1:56
downloading any models or anything like
1:58
that it doesn't say all that so just
2:01
remember any folders any files those
2:05
things will be destroyed but when it's
2:07
completely done when you're done using
2:09
it they won't be there the last line
2:12
tells it to launch focus with the
2:15
settings that it has here in the
2:18
flags if you want to change those if you
2:21
want to use just the built-in presets
2:23
all you need to do is go from the GitHub
2:26
page you can use these just copy these
2:29
presets and paste
2:44
it you can click on the code button to
2:47
add more lines once the lines are
2:50
created paste the presets there you can
2:53
add multiple presets but you can run one
2:55
at a single time
3:03
so for example you could take the anime
3:05
style preset from their GitHub page and
3:07
paste it in as well as the realistic
3:10
option
3:22
preset and now depending on which one I
3:24
want to run when it comes time I could
3:26
run the standard one or I could run the
3:28
anime one here
3:30
so a lot of the questions I see people
3:32
asking is how do you get a specific
3:35
checkpoint onto collab the easiest way
3:38
to do is to add the code there and run
3:40
it just paste the code I provided in the
3:43
description and you are good to
3:46
go so in here we want it in the content
3:49
folder in Focus then in the models
3:51
folder then in checkpoints and then the
3:53
file name that's how you'd set up the
3:56
saving of the file where it's going to
3:58
save it and the name
4:00
then you put a space and then we we're
4:02
going to have the actual address for
4:04
where we're going to download
4:16
from now we're on here you do not copy
4:20
just the address from up top because
4:23
that's not the address that you want if
4:25
we look here you'll notice they're
4:27
totally different so the easiest way to
4:30
do this that I find if you first want to
4:33
get the file name to use you can just
4:35
click on here click download copy that
4:38
hit cancel because we don't want to
4:40
download it onto our computer and we can
4:42
go into here and that's where I would
4:44
paste in the file name I could just
4:47
paste it in there or you can just type
4:48
it in up to you and then in here we go
4:51
on the download button we can write
4:53
click and copy link address and we go in
4:56
here I would just go ahead and paste it
4:58
and that's it
5:06
now when we run that it's going to go
5:08
ahead and download that it starts
5:10
cloning the focus now remember each time
5:13
we do this and run this if I come back
5:15
the next day I'm going to have to do
5:17
this again and it's going to have to go
5:19
through this process again now this
5:21
usually only takes maybe 15 to 30
5:24
seconds to do in my experience okay it's
5:28
completed so now Focus has been cloned
5:31
and it's set up on collab if we go over
5:33
to our folders here you'll see there's a
5:35
focus folder see we're in the content
5:37
folder already and in the focus folder
5:39
you have all the standard stuff for
5:41
focus in here and I will show you you
5:44
can interact with these files okay so
5:47
now that we have it cloned if we were to
5:49
start it now just by clicking on one of
5:51
these it'll go ahead and download what
5:53
we need for that and download the
5:56
default models but the default models
5:59
are not necessarily what we want so
6:02
let's say we wanted to have other models
6:04
available to us well we've Now set up
6:07
this checkpoint once everything is
6:09
completed you can hit on
6:12
run once you've hit run sometimes it
6:15
will not show the downloads taking place
6:17
in the background but you can see at the
6:19
bottom of the window that it is
6:21
executing the
6:24
command I'll just skip ahead until it's
6:26
nearly completed
6:33
now it's showing it's completed we can
6:36
verify this by going to the left hand
6:38
side and selecting the folder icon go to
6:41
models and then checkpoints you should
6:43
see these two folders
6:44
there yes you can see that the models
6:47
are added in the checkpoint
6:50
folder as the checkpoint is added now we
6:53
try running the anime preset code
7:09
as you can see it started running it
7:11
will take some time for it to
7:13
run keep in mind that every 48 to 72
7:17
hours these will automatically delete if
7:20
you're using the free version of collab
7:23
so you will need to rerun these commands
7:26
the next time you use it
7:29
[Music]
7:45
once the execution is completed you will
7:47
see a gradio link you need to open that
7:51
link you need to use the link that says
7:53
running on public URL
8:07
you can see that the link is working
8:09
perfectly but it is showing some error
8:12
we will verify whether this is working
8:14
or not you can play around with the
8:16
settings available there
8:31
in the model section you can see that
8:34
the Juggernaut files are downloaded
8:36
successfully but I still wonder why the
8:38
code execution doesn't show up anyways
8:42
we will check whether the link is
8:43
working or
8:46
not just enter your desired prompt here
8:49
and click on generate
9:04
as I have set the preset to anime I am
9:07
using a prompt related to anime
9:09
character once you hit the generate
9:12
button it will take some time to
9:14
generate the images
9:27
[Music]
9:29
you can see that the images are
9:37
[Music]
9:49
generated now we will close the link
9:52
even after closing the link you can
9:54
still see that the codes are running to
9:57
close the process click on the stop
9:59
button
10:00
the button in which a circle keeps on
10:02
going it will take a few seconds to
10:11
stop I like to clean that up I'll close
10:16
those okay now for Laura how do you
10:19
install those well it's the same idea
10:22
just copy and paste the code I have
10:24
provided in the description and you are
10:26
good to go
10:38
[Music]
10:49
[Music]
10:53
this is the easiest method to install
10:55
Laura but if you want to install them
10:57
manually you can do that too
11:02
just open the files in the focus find
11:04
the Laura option under the model section
11:06
and open
11:08
it now you would drag and upload the
11:11
Laura files here as this is not an
11:13
efficient way to go about it I do not
11:15
have the files downloaded but this is
11:17
just simply what you do if you did also
11:21
as we are manually uploading these files
11:23
to the folder it will take more time to
11:26
update as the files will be large it
11:28
depends on your internet speed also like
11:31
the same way you can also upload files
11:34
related to wild
11:41
cards files related to Styles and files
11:44
related to the
11:50
presets as it takes a lot of time to
11:52
upload the files I will prefer the code
11:55
method always once the code is entered
11:58
click on it and and run the
12:02
code it will also take some time to
12:14
run once the execution is completed you
12:17
can see that the file is saved to the
12:19
path we
12:24
provided now to check whether the lur is
12:27
installed or not click on any preset
12:29
style you want and run it previously I
12:32
have used anime preset but for now I
12:35
want to use realistic
12:40
preset while everything is downloading
12:43
you'll get this error message telling
12:45
you that the GPU is not in use and that
12:48
you should switch types you can safely
12:50
ignore this
13:02
once the code is run successfully you
13:04
will get the gradio link which we have
13:06
used earlier click on the link and open
13:17
it now click on Advanced and click on
13:20
models in the Laura one you can see the
13:22
name leather armor it is the name of the
13:25
folder we have created for Laura
13:29
this means that Laura is successfully
13:31
downloaded now we will try to create a
13:34
realistic image I'm giving the same
13:37
prompt as I used
13:46
earlier once the prompt is entered click
13:49
on the generate button and wait for some
13:58
time e
14:30
while the image is being generated you
14:32
can see the entire process in the collab
14:35
also you can see how much disk space and
14:38
how much RAM it is using for this
14:40
process
15:07
the images are now generated you can see
15:09
that these images are looking like
15:11
realistic
15:22
images now we will change the model and
15:25
check whether the focus is working
15:27
correctly or not
15:29
I have set the model here to anime
15:31
pencil model and I am using the same
15:33
prompt for this image too
16:23
the images are generated successfully
16:26
you can see that these images are
16:27
looking like anime artist images so this
16:30
shows that our models are working
16:40
correctly you can click on the images
16:42
and click on the download option to
16:44
download these
16:52
images you can also use another method
16:55
to download the images for this you need
16:58
to open the folder and click on output
17:01
in the output folder you can see the
17:03
folder with the date of the image
17:05
creation open the folder and you can
17:07
find the list of the images that are
17:09
created on the specific date right click
17:12
on the image and click on the download
17:14
option to download the
17:26
image I will prefer the first method
17:29
anyways as it is easy so this is how we
17:32
set up and run focus on Google collab if
