Installing FooocusPlus

For Linux users, please use the Installation Script for Linux in the FooocusPlus Wiki.

If you were using a pre-release or Beta version of FooocusPlus, please be sure to delete or at least rename it first, it is not compatible with the release version. Ideally FooocusPlus should be installed in the root of a high speed internal drive such an NVMe solid state drive (SSD). However it will work fine on standard SATA hard drive, just a bit more slowly.

First, Download the Following Archives

• The latest version of 7-Zip. The installation may fail if the version is not current.
• The FooocusPlus program archive.
• If you are using Windows, the Python library files.
• The FooocusPlus Support Pack. The Support Pack is optional but will save you a lot of time later.
• The FooocusPlus Tiny Pack. The Tiny Pack is designed for those with graphics cards that have less than 6GB of video RAM (VRAM). The Tiny Pack is completely optional. If not installed now, its files will be downloaded later if needed by a preset.
• The FooocusPlus Schnell Pack. Another completely optional pack, it contains four basic Flux1 Schnell models. Schnell models provide high speed - 4 sampling steps per image generation - with reasonably good quality.

The Procedure

1. After your downloads are complete, first install 7-Zip.

2. Next, extract the program archive to create a FooocusPlus folder in the root of the drive, E:\ for example. The FooocusPlus folder will contain the FooocusPlusAI folder, the UserDir folder and two batch files, as shown below.

3. Next, extract the python_embedded library archive into the FooocusPlus folder.

4. Next, extract the Support Pack to the FooocusPlus folder. These files will be added to the UserDir\models subfolder, as shown below.

5. If you decided to download the Tiny Pack or Schnell Pack, extract them to the FooocusPlus folder. Their contents will be added to the UserDir\models subfolder.

6. Now double-click on the run_FooocusPlus.bat file to load FooocusPlus for the first time. It will download some additional components automatically on the first run.

Language and Preset Startup Files

Language and optional preset startup files are available in the FooocusPlus\UserDir\batch_startups folder. Please copy whatever you need to the FooocusPlus folder before using them.

The last attachment shows the installation of the customized Torch files the first time that run_FooocusPlus.bat is executed. There will be a delay of at least a minute between the "Installing collected packages: torch, torchvision, torchaudio" and the "Successfully installed" console messages.
