The installation of "Stable Diffusion web UI" natively on FreeBSD fails because can't install torch.

Hello to everyone.

I'm trying to clone and install the "Stable Diffusion web UI" on FreeBSD,following this mini tutorial :

This is what I came up with :

[marietto@marietto ~/Desktop/Files]$ git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

[marietto@marietto ~/Desktop/Files]$ cd stable-diffusion-webui

[marietto@marietto ~/Desktop/Files/stable-diffusion-webui]$ sudo pkg install py39-pytorchvideo

[marietto@marietto ~/Desktop/Files/stable-diffusion-webui]$ mkdir venv

[marietto@marietto ~/Desktop/Files/stable-diffusion-webui]$ python3 -m venv venv

[marietto@marietto ~/Desktop/Files/stable-diffusion-webui]$ . venv/bin/activate

(venv) [marietto@marietto ~/Desktop/Files/stable-diffusion-webui/bin]$ python3 -m pip install torch==1.12.1+cu113 torchvision==0.13.1+cu113 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch==1.12.1+cu113 (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch==1.12.1+cu113

I don't know what to do next. You can follow the whole thread that I've create on Reddit going here :

You probably need to downgrade Python. Torch requires exactly the python version reccomended in the install, a newer one will fail.

I suspect that it will be not enough to make it work. I've asked to a FreeBSD developer,which replied like this :

Long story short: PyTorch does not work on FreeBSD at this point, use Linux version, or any other OS where binary packages are provided. When you try to install pytorch you will get an error you should use torch name instead.. but there are no packages provided from FreeBSD..and it does not build from the sources.. more work is necessary to update the pytorch in order to build and run on FreeBSD.. looks like weeks of work.. and this should be done by someone already familiar with that tool to verify its operations even if it builds.. also note that it has some hard dependencies on hardware acceleration that may not yet be available here. I would strongly use platform that is officially supported by the project. Get the correct tool for the task :-)
