[Bug]: Stable diffusion will not open: No module named pip

[SetriaphTFK]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

I'm trying to install Stable Diffusing but Every time I try to launch the WebUI-user.bat it gives me the following error message:

exit code: 1

stderr:

C:\Program Files\Python310\python.exe: No module named pip

Launch unsuccessful. Exiting.

Press any key to continue . . .

I've tried reinstalling python multiple times and the same result. I tried the A1111 WebUI launcher and it gave me the same message "No module named pip" when trying to launch it.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Double click WebUI.bat

cmd launches

"No module named pip"

What should have happened?

It should give me a link to open

Pip should've been installed with python. Try python -m ensurepip to install it.

It was a third party anti-virus

[johneliot1978]

same issue, clean install, pip is definitely installed

[missionfloyd]

You could try python from the windows store instead.

Thanks for the suggestion, I don't want to mess with my python version, I need to keep 3.10.6 so I can continue to use xformers

@Hamster333sk @LiXinghui-666 @johneliot1978, I figured it out.

Stable Diffusion ships with its own copy of Python (specific version of 3.10.6) but doesn't have pip installed. So when you run webui-user.bat it uses local Python version in folder:

<Your Stable Diffusion folder>\venv\Scripts

Just cd into above folder and run:

python -m ensurepip

Then follow the steps as in the docs in normal fashion. Hope that helps!

[Hamster333sk]

I alredy download it. Now I háve difrent error massage .

I solved the issue by going to running this from the terminal from stable diffusion folder: venv/Scripts/Python.exe -m ensurepip

[rfdfdfs]

this is what it says for me when i try running venv/Scripts/Python.exe -m ensurepip

that worked for me, you got to enter venv/Scripts/ directory inside AUTOMATIC1111 then use Python.exe -m ensurepip command
