# reforgePortable
Experimenting to build a portable version of stable-diffusion-webui-reForge  
This version uses the third-party WinPython portable version, which is recommended at various places and includes more stuff than the official
portable version. Maybe this provides more tools for installing additional extensions, and it has a negligibly larger footprint than the
official version. There is an even larger WinPython version, but I don't know what the differences are so we will go with the smaller one.

and extract only the 3 bat files from the root
- or download them from my HF space here [/runscipts/](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xeno443/reForge-portable/tree/main/runscripts)

Copy these three files into C:\SD\reforge-portable
