If you are struggling with conda environments so much, that you are at a point of giving up, I have exported py310, py311 and comfy3d environments for you (assuming you are on Windows machine, and have Nvidia graphics card with CUDA-compatible GPU). You can download them here.
For example, to install py310 environment, you can run:
conda env create --file py310.yamlThis is a handy way to back things up, but keep in mind that dependencies change over time, so it's always better to create your own environment from scratch.
This is the part where I legally cover my... you pinky-promise that:
- You won't use your newly-gained AI powers for evil;
- You won't blame me if you get caught by the AI police;
- You won't sue me if your PC turns you into a paperclip.
In all seriousness, I am sharing my knowledge with you in good faith. I'm not responsible for any consequences of your actions. You're a grown-up, you can handle it. 🧙♂️
Marko Zegarac (a.k.a. "Professor Lich")
I'm a former academic-turned-YouTuber, with passion for education. After leaving academic world, I created 'Professor Lich' online persona, YouTube channel and started building my own curriculum there.
I excel at breaking down complex ideas and presenting them in a simple, understandable manner. My goal is to make learning enjoyable and accessible to everyone, regardless of their age, gender, academic background or physical ability.
I believe that student debt is a serious issue, and I am committed to promoting free education. I envision a world where students can access high-quality educational content without paying with their money or their privacy. Education should not be a commodity where attention is monetized, but a fundamental right accessible to all.
Furthermore, I advocate for an accessible curriculum that can reach learners worldwide. With the power of AI, we can democratize knowledge and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow.
Help me make education free, accessible, and enjoyable for all!
Linking to my YouTube channel would help me a lot. ❤️
