+  Start by cloning the repo:
+ 
+    git clone https://github.com/Saganaki22/StableAudioWebUI.git
+
+    
+<br>
+  Use the below deployment (tested on 24GB Nvidia VRAM):
+
+    cd StableAudioWebUI
+    conda create -n saowebui python=3.10
+    conda activate saowebui
+    pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+
+    
+<br>
+  (Note if you have an older Nvidia GPU you may need to use CUDA 11.8)
+
+    pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+
+<br>
+  If you haven't got a hugging face account or have not used huggingface-cli before, create an account and then authenticate your Hugging face account with a token (create token at https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens)
+
+    huggingface-cli login
+
+  (paste your token and follow the instructions, token will not be displayed when pasted)
+
+  ## ⚠ If you want to run it using CPU <br> 
+  skip 'pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121' and just run
+
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    pip install -r requirements1.txt
+
+##
