Hi… I see a few other huggingface login threads but they don’t help unfortunately. Mostly the threads advise the token input appears blank. I realise right clicking actually pastes and I’ve tried this manually and edited in users.py file.

I have installed Release Version: Python 3.10.6

Both attempts give the same result. I have also tried as suggested installing Git-2.38.1-64-bit (Git for Windows).

CMD as Admin, using **activate** and **huggingface-cli login** , as follows:  
`(myAMD_venv) C:\Users\me\myPython\myStable Diffusion\myAMD_venv\Scripts>huggingface-cli login`

outputs this error info…

```auto

I am following a youtube Stable Defusion AMD install ([Run Stable Diffusion With AMD GPU (RX580) On Windows - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk2syPsVMQM)) and while many appear to have successfully followed the tutorial with success - I see several others run into trouble exactly where I have at **huggingface-cli login**.

I would be grateful if some advice could help me progress… thanks

I seem to have made progress to **login** and I think the issue was something not explained in the video.

On huggingface homepage, on the right - **Trending** , I had to click

**CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4**

If you can’t see it, use the search… and scroll down to _Agree & Access Repository_

This didn’t immediately work, but after I restarted my computer and re- **activate** d and ran the **login** it has worked and logged me in with my token coded into the user.py file.
