ERROR Git not found during installation

[KwaiBird]

Hi,

I was trying to install SD.Next, but I got "ERROR Git not found during installation". I have already install git 2.44.0-64-bit for Windows with "Use Git from the Windows Command line and also from 3rd-party-software" checked, and python-3.10.11-amd64 (pip 24.0).
I did git clone the SD.N and run webui.bat --debug --use-directml with cmd.exe, but it stopped with the error message.

C:\[Stable Diffusion]\SD_Next_(automatic)>webui.bat --debug --use-directml

sdnext.log.zip

How I can continue the installation?

I'm wondering if your square brackets in your folder name might be tripping things up...

[KwaiBird]

Hmm, the issue is not fixed.
I uninstalled the Git, removed C:\Program Files\Git just in case, and reinstalled Git 2.44.0-64-bit for Windows without changing options and making sure "Use Git from ~" selected. The where git and git --version returned same strings as above.

[brknsoul]

Hrmm, I saw an issue with non-arabic characters in git's github..
You could uninstall, and try this older version;
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.42.0.windows.2/Git-2.42.0.2-64-bit.exe

[KwaiBird]

Yes, I'm using Windows in Japanese. I should mention it first.
I have tried that version and 2.39.2.windows.1, but it does not help.
Thanks anyway. Your quick answers and confirmations help me describing the issue. I leave this open for now.

Try running
set GIT="C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe"
then running webui again.

[KwaiBird]

Unfortunately, this does not help.

Git not found

this means exactly that - python cannot find git.
try executing this manually - its basically same to what sdnext does:

C:\>python
Python 3.11.9 (tags/v3.11.9:de54cf5, Apr  2 2024, 10:12:12) [MSC v.1938 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.which('git')
'c:\\program files\\git\\cmd\\git.EXE'
>>>

and if you think git is really there and want to ignore this check, you can simply append --ignore cmd flag to webui.bat.

[KwaiBird]

Thanks. However, the same error occurred again, and I got some new errors.

I Installed Python 3.11.9, uninstalled Git and installed Git-2.44.0-64-bit.exe again, and rebooted my system.

Then, I did this commands manually.

c:\>python
Python 3.10.11 (tags/v3.10.11:7d4cc5a, Apr  5 2023, 00:38:17) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.which('git')
'C:\\Program Files\\Git\\cmd\\git.EXE'
>>>

but I still got the same error.

C:\automatic>webui.bat --debug --use-directml

So, I did webui.bat --debug --use-directml --ignore, but it halted with some errors.
Since some words in the log are corrupted and readable, I changed my Windows language settings from Japanese to English.
Then run webui.bat --debug --use-directml --ignore again. Same things happened again.

P.S. It seems that my system does not use Python 3.11.9 as default but uses Python 3.10.11 instead.
I have 3 Python versions in the system, I hope it does not make troubles.
