HOW TO UPDATE AUTOMATIC1111 FOR STABLE DIFFUSION

ByAhfaz Ahmed Last Updated:February 8, 2024

Want to update Automatic1111 to the latest version? You’ve landed on the right
page. 

When it comes to updating Automatic1111, I’ve read far too many stories of
botched updates or people messing up something. 

If you’re someone who is not well-versed in Python, Git, and using command
prompts, you don’t have to beat yourself up for messing up an update. 

And today, I’m here to fix all your problems by detailing step-by-step how to
update Automatic1111 to the latest version. 



I’ll be sharing multiple approaches you can follow to update Automatic1111 and
they’re all pretty straightforward. 

So, without any further ado, let’s dive in.

HOW TO UPDATE AUTOMATIC1111

Whether you’re using Windows or Mac, I’ll be covering how you can update
Automatic1111 to the latest version. 

Let’s start with Windows first. 


UPDATING AUTOMATIC1111 ON WINDOWS

On Windows, you can update Automatic1111 either automatically or manually. Let’s
see how you can do that: 

AUTO-UPDATE AUTOMATIC1111

By setting up auto-updating for Automatic1111, you’ll never have to worry about
updates anymore.
With this approach, every time you open Automatic1111, it’ll check for updates
and download the update if there’s a new version available. 



So, how do you do it? 

Head over to your Automatic1111 installation folder and right-click on the
webui-user.bat file. 

Click on Edit and choose any text editing software such as Notepad. 



In this file, add the following between “set” and “call”: 

set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --medvram --autolaunch

git pull

call webui.batCopy

So, here’s how the contents of this file should look like after adding the above
lines: 

@echo off

set PYTHON=C:\Users\Ahfaz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe

set GIT=

set VENV_DIR=

set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--medvram --xformers

git pull

call webui.batCopy

By adding “git pull” to this file, Automatic1111 will always check for updates
whenever you launch it. 

And if you’re curious, update checks only take a few seconds so you’ll not be
slowing down the startup time of Automatic1111 by doing this. 

MANUAL UPDATE AUTOMATIC1111

To manually update Automatic1111, go to your Automatic1111 installation
directory and right-click on stable-diffusion-webui folder. 



Click on the Git Bash Here option and it’ll open a command terminal where you’ll
have to enter the following command: 

git pull Copy

Press enter and it’ll start updating Automatic1111 and your WebUI will be
updated to the latest version. 

This method is very quick and easy as well and if you don’t want to
automatically update Automatic1111, then you should do this instead. 


UPDATING AUTOMATIC1111 ON MAC

To update Automatic1111 on Mac, go to your Automatic1111 installation directory
and right-click on the stable-diffusion-webui folder. 

Click on the New Terminal at Folder option and enter the following command: 

git pull Copy

This will begin updating Automatic1111. 


USING STABILITYMATRIX



If you’ve read my guide to Automatic1111, you must’ve noticed that I recommend
using StabilityMatrix for installing Stable Diffusion. 

That’s because this is a one-click installer for Stable Diffusion WebUI’s such
as Automatic1111 or ComfyUI and makes the entire process very easy. 

So, if you’ve used StabilityMatrix to install Automatic1111, you can also update
it to the latest version using this software. 



Open StabilityMatrix and go to the Packages menu. Here, click on the three dots
on the Stable Diffusion WebUI and click on Check for Updates. 

If there’s a new update available, it’ll prompt you to download and update
Automatic1111. 


CONCLUSION

Automatic1111 is frequently updated and there’s new features coming every now
and then. It’s always a good habit to make sure you’re using the latest version
of Automatic1111. 

With this guide, we covered the different methods you can use to update
Automatic1111. I hope this guide helps you safely update your Automatic1111 to
the latest version.

during updating, let me know in the comments below.
