How to Update Automatic1111 Stable Diffusion

Introduction

Hello there and welcome!

In this video, I’m going to walk you through two super quick and easy methods to update Automatic1111.

The first method is a manual update method, for those of you that may not want to automatically update to the latest version of Automatic1111, whenever a new version is released.

The second method is the automatic update method, which will automatically update Automatic1111 every time you launch it. This is the method that I personally use and is an easy set and forget method.

I’ll be updating Automatic1111 locally on my Windows PC.

I’ll leave all the links and references that I cover in this tutorial, in the Reources section at the end.

So, let’s crack on.

Manually Update Automatic 1111

Let’s start with the manual update method.

Open File Explorer and navigate to your “stable-diffusion-webui” folder that was created when you installed Automatic1111 originally. I installed Automatic1111 in my E drive and in a folder named “Automatic1111”. Double-click to open the “stable-diffusion-webui” folder. Once you’re in that specific folder, you should be able to see all the Automatic1111 folders and files. If you can see these, then you know you’re in the right location.

Click into the File Explorer address bar and type in “cmd”, and press Enter. This will open the Command Prompt window. At the prompt, type in “git”, then a space, then “pull”, and press Enter.

Automatic1111 will now update. When the update has finished, the Command Prompt window will return to the starting prompt state. You can now close the Command Prompt window.

That’s it. Automatic1111 has now been updated manually.

Automatically Update Automatic1111

Let’s move onto the automatic update method. This is the one that I use and prefer.

Open File Explorer and navigate to your “stable-diffusion-webui” folder. Double-click to open this folder. Scroll down towards the end of the list of folders and files and locate the “webui-user.bat” file. This is the same file that you double-click to launch Automatic1111.

I’m going to edit this file. Right-click on this file and select “Edit in Notepad”. In the empty line between the last two commands, type “git”, then a space, and then “pull”.

Save the file. That’s it. Now every time you launch Automatic1111, it’ll check for updates and automatically update to the latest version.

Conclusion

Now you know how to update Automatic1111 using both the manual and automatic methods. Both are nice and easy. Just pick the one that suits you.

Anyway, hope you found this tutorial helpful, and I’ll catch you in the next one.
