Experimental Offline Standalone Mac Installer/Application for Stable Diffusion Web UI (unofficial) 20230913

This is an offline standalone installer/application for a modified version of AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion web UI that includes experimental changes and uses a release candidate PyTorch build for 2.1.0. Note that this is an test build so crashes and bugs should be expected. All dependencies needed to start using Stable Diffusion (other than the model) are included and this does not require Xcode command line tools to be installed.

This release currently only has the installer and application for Apple silicon Macs, an installer and application for Intel Macs will be included on a later release. macOS 13.5 or later is highly recommended, older versions of macOS are untested.

Now it is possible to run web UI as an application (which utilizes Electron), with an icon courtesy of @ParityError. Note that the installer can create the application, so if the installer is downloaded then the app download is not needed.

When run as an application, a log file is created in /tmp/Stable Diffusion Web UI Logs which stores the output from the Terminal - and it is also possible to close the Terminal window or quit Terminal entirely without closing out the web UI. If you want to return the output to a Terminal window, just enter screen -r. When the application with web UI is quit, the process for web UI will exit as well. Models and configuration files are stored in the Stable Diffusion Web UI folder in the Documents folder in the current user’s home folder

To use Electron from a folder install, it is now necessary to use --electron --electron-path bin-deps/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron because Node.js is not included (since it wasn't needed other than to get Electron's path).
