- Custom chat characters
- Advanced chat features (send images, get audio responses with TTS)
- Very efficient text streaming
- Parameter presets
- 8-bit mode
- Layers splitting across GPU(s), CPU, and disk
- CPU mode
- FlexGen
- DeepSpeed ZeRO-3
- API with streaming and without streaming

Installation
One-click installers
Just download the zip above, extract it, and double click on "install". The web UI and all its dependencies will be installed in the same folder.
- To download a model, double click on "download-model"
- To start the web UI, double click on "start-webui"
Source codes: https://github.com/oobabooga/one-click-installers
Note
Thanks to @jllllll and @ClayShoaf, the Windows 1-click installer now sets up 8-bit and 4-bit requirements out of the box. No additional installation steps are necessary.
Note
There is no need to run the installer as admin.
Manual installation using Conda
Recommended if you have some experience with the command-line.
On Windows, I additionally recommend carrying out the installation on WSL instead of the base system: WSL installation guide.
0. Install Conda
https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
On Linux or WSL, it can be automatically installed with these two commands:
curl -sL "https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh" > "Miniconda3.sh"
bash Miniconda3.sh
Source: https://educe-ubc.github.io/conda.html
0.1 (Ubuntu/WSL) Install build tools
sudo apt install build-essential
1. Create a new conda environment
conda create -n textgen python=3.10.9
conda activate textgen
2. Install Pytorch
System | GPU | Command |
---|---|---|
Linux/WSL | NVIDIA | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio |
Linux | AMD | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2 |
MacOS + MPS (untested) | Any | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio |
The up to date commands can be found here: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/.
2.1 Special instructions
- MacOS users: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/pull/393
- AMD users: https://rentry.org/eq3hg
3. Install the web UI
git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt
Note
For bitsandbytes and
--load-in-8bit
to work on Linux/WSL, this dirty fix is currently necessary: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/issues/400#issuecomment-1474876859
Alternative: manual Windows installation
As an alternative to the recommended WSL method, you can install the web UI natively on Windows using this guide. It will be a lot harder and the performance may be slower: Windows installation guide.
Alternative: Docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build
Make sure to edit .env.example
and set the appropriate CUDA version for your GPU.
You need to have docker compose v2.17 or higher installed in your system. For installation instructions, see Docker compose installation.

Updating the requirements
From time to time, the requirements.txt
changes. To update, use this command:
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
Downloading models
Models should be placed inside the models
folder.
Hugging Face is the main place to download models. These are some examples:
You can automatically download a model from HF using the script download-model.py
:
python download-model.py organization/model
For example:
python download-model.py facebook/opt-1.3b
If you want to download a model manually, note that all you need are the json, txt, and pytorch*.bin (or model*.safetensors) files. The remaining files are not necessary.
GPT-4chan
GPT-4chan has been shut down from Hugging Face, so you need to download it elsewhere. You have two options:
The 32-bit version is only relevant if you intend to run the model in CPU mode. Otherwise, you should use the 16-bit version.
After downloading the model, follow these steps:
- Place the files under
models/gpt4chan_model_float16
ormodels/gpt4chan_model
. - Place GPT-J 6B's config.json file in that same folder: config.json.
- Download GPT-J 6B's tokenizer files (they will be automatically detected when you attempt to load GPT-4chan):
python download-model.py EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B --text-only
Starting the web UI
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
python server.py
Then browse to
http://localhost:7860/?__theme=dark
Optionally, you can use the following command-line flags:
Basic settings
Flag | Description |
---|---|
-h , --help |
Show this help message and exit. |
--notebook |
Launch the web UI in notebook mode, where the output is written to the same text box as the input. |

--lora LORA |
Name of the LoRA to apply to the model by default. |
--model-dir MODEL_DIR |
Path to directory with all the models. |
--lora-dir LORA_DIR |
Path to directory with all the loras. |
--no-stream |
Don't stream the text output in real time. |
--settings SETTINGS_FILE |
Load the default interface settings from this json file. See settings-template.json for an example. If you create a file called settings.json , this file will be loaded by default without the need to use the --settings flag. |
--extensions EXTENSIONS [EXTENSIONS ...] |
The list of extensions to load. If you want to load more than one extension, write the names separated by spaces. |
--verbose |

--gpu-memory GPU_MEMORY [GPU_MEMORY ...] |
Maxmimum GPU memory in GiB to be allocated per GPU. Example: --gpu-memory 10 for a single GPU, --gpu-memory 10 5 for two GPUs. You can also set values in MiB like --gpu-memory 3500MiB . |
--cpu-memory CPU_MEMORY |

Presets
Inference settings presets can be created under presets/
as text files. These files are detected automatically at startup.
By default, 10 presets by NovelAI and KoboldAI are included. These were selected out of a sample of 43 presets after applying a K-Means clustering algorithm and selecting the elements closest to the average of each cluster.
System requirements
Check the wiki for some examples of VRAM and RAM usage in both GPU and CPU mode.
