Error code 2

[Tbrock8905]

Was doing a clean install of automatic1111 (deleted the previous folder entirely and uninstalled python). On Windows

Followed the instructions again to reinstall. Got an error that I didn't get the first time:
WARNING: There was an error checking the latest version of pip.

Any help please?

All good, found the answer from Ceria117 in a prior post.

The solution that worked for me is going into the modules folder and editing launch_utils.py. Line 312 is the call to pip install torch. I added the default timeout so it won't stop the download once an arbitrary time has passed. Change it to:
torch_command = os.environ.get('TORCH_COMMAND', f"pip --default-timeout=1200 install torch==2.0.1 torchvision==0.15.2 --extra-index-url {torch_index_url}")

Hi, Hope your well. I'm having the same problem and came here to look it up. Please could you tell me what you changed on line 312? as line 312 has no code on?

This program is tested with 3.10.6 Python, but you have 3.12.1.
If you encounter an error with "RuntimeError: Couldn't install torch." message,
or any other error regarding unsuccessful package (library) installation,
