Ace-Step 1.5 Git Hugging Face Installation Setup Audio Generation

A step-by-step guide on setting up Ace-Step 1.5 on your local machine using the UV package manager and Git, including how to download the Turbo XL model from Hugging Face.

Choosing the Right Model

Ace-Step 1.5 offers three models: 'Base' for training, 'SFT' for high quality but slower speeds, and 'Turbo' for fast music generation. For general use, choose the Turbo model.

Benefits of Virtual Environments

UV automatically creates a Virtual Environment that acts like an 'isolated hard drive,' ensuring that Ace-Step libraries do not conflict with or break your computer's original Python settings.

Storage Requirements

Ensure you have at least 30GB-40GB of free space, as Torch requires 3GB and the Turbo XL model alone takes up 20GB.
