What happened?

I expected the install manager to successfully install reForge. It did not.

What Operating System are you using?

macOS

[NeuralFault]

Set up homebrew on your Mac if you haven't (https://brew.sh) and the run this in the terminal:

brew install cairo pkg-config

Not a requirement or bug with SM itself, but some packages require system level Cairo 2D graphics library. This does not come included with Mac OS. (And Linux)

reforge, and possibly a couple other Gradio based packages, have pycairo it installs into its venv which gets compiled against Cairo installed in the system.

[vanilla-coder]

Tried it, but it still doesn't work. (And I do think it's a bug when an app that solely exists to install stuff fails to install stuff.)

OK, when I restart SM I found that it actually did install something, albeit broken. There was a button named "Import". I thought what the hell you only live once and clicked it to see what would happen. The install then completed (!).

But when trying to open reForge it fails to start up with the error message:

"RuntimeError: Torch is not able to use GPU; add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check"

I did so by editing the webui-user.sh file. The same error keeps happening anyway. And BTW, the file webui-macos-env.sh already has the line:

export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--skip-torch-cuda-test --upcast-sampling --no-half-vae --use-cpu interrogate"

...so this shouldn't be necessary to change in webui-user.sh at all. As far as I understand it.

[NeuralFault]

It's also trying to find CMAKE on the system for the compilation process. It will need to be installed with homebrew also ( brew install cmake ).

[vanilla-coder]

OK tried to install CMAKE as instructed. Failed with new error message. Restarted SM. Clicked the "Import" button. Install completed. When starting up reForge, it failed with the same error:

RuntimeError: Torch is not able to use GPU; add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check

Have you rebooted or relogged your mac since installing the homebrew packages?

Homebrew has its packages located in the /opt/homebrew directory and for SM, or apps in general, to find and use the needed binary dependencies its looking for, homebrew's /opt/homebrew/bin directory needs to be added to your PATH.

Rebooting should quickly fix this, or adding the PATH variable in SM Settings > Environment Variables with the value of : /opt/homebrew/bin

Just verified this on my mac mini and successfully installed reforge.
Its been a long while since dealt with this on my macs.

[vanilla-coder]

Well, I had not restarted, my mac tends to stay on for months on end, but I did so now. Uninstalled the broken reForge install, added the PATH in SM settings as instructed.

Install failed again, same song and dance as before to make it finish the install, still fails to run with the same runtime error.

I'm grateful for your attempts to help, but I'm actually starting to wonder what the value proposition is for this piece of software. A package installer that can't install packages feels kind of useless to me. And I see it's not just a Mac issue, people on Linux and Windows apparently have open issues too.

The homepage for SM let's people buy vote power to vote for new features. I think they should fix the core functionality before worrying about adding more random features. As it is it seems I'll have to resort to installing manually. Which I have done before, both A1111 and the original Forge. I just thought it would be more convenient to use SM. It's clearly not.

My latest install error:

run in the terminal and then either launch SM from a new terminal session (so it inherits the variable), or reboot.
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zprofile

Ran it, rebooted, tried again, still failed. Apparently it can't build pycairo because it still can't find cmake. I don't know what's going on, because I checked and cmake does exist in /opt/homebrew/bin. This is what my .zprofile looks like:

Setting PATH for Python 3.10

The original version is saved in .zprofile.pysave

PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Setting PATH for Python 3.11

The original version is saved in .zprofile.pysave

PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

export PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"

And this is the error message:

Also doesn't work for me on macOS (can't install reforge) and hasn't anytime I've tried it recently over the past few months. Homebrew is set up properly. If it matters, I also use uv extensively, independent of this software, so maybe that's messing it up. Given up for now unless there's some new trick to try.
