# ⭐ <FONT SIZE="+3">Forge portable version</FONT> ⭐
- Updated 6th December 2025 with Forge version `f2.0.1v1.10.1-previous-669`  
- Updated with PyTorch 2.9.1 - CUDA 12.8 (supports up to Nvidia RTX 5xxx/Blackwell GPUs)

The official portable Zip still comes with an old version of Forge and Pytorch so here is an updated one which also includes updated SDXL default settings.

**There have not been any updates for Forge in a long time and it seems to be no longer under active development so you might want to consider switching to
another webUI fork like [reForge](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xeno443/reForge-portable) or [Forge Classic Neo](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xeno443/ForgeClassic-portable)
or [ComfyUI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xeno443/ComfyUI_portable_python312)**

**This version is not supported or endorsed by lllyasviel!**

This portable version contains all components required to use reForge without needing to install any additional components. The only thing your system needs are the Microsoft
Visual C++ runtimes, but if you are not using a naked Windows install it is very likely that you already have those. If you don't have them you can download them here:  

* Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Installer  
https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe

After you unzip the archive you will find a few batch files in the main directory which must be used to run and modify the portable environment.

* <FONT COLOR="white"><B>run.bat</B></FONT>  
This file sets up the necessary environment variables and launches the webui

* <FONT COLOR="white"><B>update-webui.bat</B></FONT>  
Run this to check for webui updates online. It will automatically update to the latest version of the branch you are on.

* <FONT COLOR="white"><B>get-models.bat</B></FONT>  
On a fresh install of the webui you will be missing a few essential/popular models and this file will download them for you.

* <FONT COLOR="white"><B>switch-branch.bat</B></FONT>  
If you want to switch the current webui branch use this file to do so.  
**Only use this if you know what you are doing!**

* <FONT COLOR="white"><B>environment.bat</B></FONT>  
Starts a cmd.exe within the portable environment. You can use this to manually modify the embedded Python.  
**Only use this if you know what you are doing!**

* <FONT COLOR="white"><B>change-pytorch.bat</B></FONT>  
This allows you to switch to a different Pytorch version, or just reinstall the current one if you encounter issues.  
**Only use this if you know what you are doing!**

The webui also accepts startup parameters for various effects, and you cann still edit the "webui\webui-user.bat" as usual, but start the webui with the "run.bat" in the main directory to make sure the portable environment is set up.

I have uploaded two different versions:

- <FONT COLOR="white">pytorch</FONT>: has all required pytorch modules installed and is preconfigured for SDXL models
- <FONT COLOR="white">pytorch + addons</FONT>: same as above but comes with a lot of popular and useful addons, e.g.:  
  (tag autocomplete, forge couple, dynamic prompts, LoraCTL, regional prompter, adetailer, negpip, inpaint tools)
