Confirm the current directory through pwd, ls

Download the corresponding model through the wget command and specify the name

1. Get the model connection

   • civitai.com, make sure the link has the type=xxx&format=xxx in it. If it doesn't, then check if you are copying the right link (the one in file section with button "Download").

     Sometime it is couple of cells down,

     

   • Huggingface, RIGHT click on the download button and select “Copy Link Address”

   

b. Use wget to download the model

This is the basic usage. For more information, please refer to https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/.

MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL NOTE #1, #2, #3 before you run the following wget command.

# make sure THE_FILE_NAME_YOU_WANT_TO_SAVE only contains alphanumerical, dot, underscore and hyphen
# make sure you don't have space in the THE_FILE_NAME_YOU_WANT_TO_SAVE
wget -b "PUT_LINK_HERE" -O THE_FILE_NAME_YOU_WANT_TO_SAVE

# For example
wget -b "<https://civitai.com/api/download/models/344398?type=Model&format=SafeTensor&size=pruned&fp=fp16>" -O photonLCM_v10.safetensors

Note #1

Make sure to use -b with wget to run it in the background, otherwise there may be timeout issues.

Note #2

For Civitai models, please make sure your link looks like this, double quoted, "https://civitai.com/api/download/models/261911?type=Model&format=SafeTensor", make sure it has the type=Model&format=SafeTensor in it. If it doesn't, then check if you are copying the right address (the one in file section with button "Download")

Note #3

For certain models/loras, Civitai will require an token in the download link. You will notice an error in the wget-log file like “HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized Username/Password Authentication Failed.”. Please follow the Civitai token guide to get an API token and run the following command one more time,

# replace the following xxxx with your token
wget -b "PUT_LINK_HERE&token=xxxx" -O THE_FILE_NAME_YOU_WANT_TO_SAVE

# for example, replace the "xxxx" with your token
wget -b "<https://civitai.com/api/download/models/344398?type=Model&format=SafeTensor&size=pruned&fp=fp16&token=xxxx>" -O photonLCM_v10.safetensors
