I’d like to play with a personal instance of Stable Diffusion. I could install it directly on this Debian GNU/Linux box, but that requires a weird dance involving installing a downgrade to Python (among other things). Anyone know of a downloadable VM from virtualboxes.org or somewhere? Otherwise I will just roll my own, but one that has been optimized and tested by many others would presumably save me some time.

Thanks.

    No need to downgrade python, and no weird dance shoukd be needed. Use virtual environments! Conda is great if it’s your first dabbbling with virtualenvs. What other things are blicking you?

      Miniconda drives me crazy and the one time I tried to use it, it changed my default python environment system-wide. I have been increasingly annoyed by Python’s having so absurdly many fractional versions, and its scripts refusing to work unless you supply them with version N.nnnn.nnn exactly. (Yes, I am exaggerating.) Here is the acceptable pace to make incompatible versions of a programming language: no more than every 2 years.
