## Run SadTalker as a Stable Diffusion WebUI Extension.
1. Install the lastest version of [stable-diffusion-webui](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) and install SadTalker via `extension`.
2. Download the checkpoints manually, for Linux and Mac:
```bash
cd SOMEWHERE_YOU_LIKE
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winfredy/OpenTalker/main/scripts/download_models.sh)
```
For Windows, you can download all the checkpoints [here](https://github.com/OpenTalker/SadTalker/tree/main#2-download-models).
3.1. Option 1: put the checkpoint in `stable-diffusion-webui/models/SadTalker` or `stable-diffusion-webui/extensions/SadTalker/checkpoints/`, the checkpoints will be detected automatically.
3.2. Option 2: Set the path of `SADTALKTER_CHECKPOINTS` in `webui_user.sh`(linux) or `webui_user.bat`(windows) by:
> only works if you are directly starting webui from `webui_user.sh` or `webui_user.bat`.
```bash
# Windows (webui_user.bat)
set SADTALKER_CHECKPOINTS=D:\SadTalker\checkpoints
# Linux/macOS (webui_user.sh)
export SADTALKER_CHECKPOINTS=/path/to/SadTalker/checkpoints
```
4. Start the WebUI via `webui.sh or webui_user.sh(linux)` or `webui_user.bat(windows)` or any other method. SadTalker can also be used in stable-diffusion-webui directly.
## Questions
1. if you are running on CPU, you need to specific `--disable-safe-unpickle` in `webui_user.sh` or `webui_user.bat`.
```bash
# windows (webui_user.bat)
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--disable-safe-unpickle"
# linux (webui_user.sh)
export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--disable-safe-unpickle"
```
