How to open the command prompt and launch the Ace-Step 1.5 server to access the web UI in your browser.
Offline & Local Access
Even though Ace-Step is accessed through a browser via a URL, it runs entirely locally on your computer. This means you can use it without an internet connection (offline) once all models have been fully downloaded.
Mandatory Step: Initialize Service
Many users make the mistake of trying to run AI functions as soon as the interface opens. You MUST click 'Initialize Service' every time you start a new session to activate the models behind the scenes.
Auto-Configuration for New Users
Don't panic if the model file paths appear empty at first. Ace-Step is designed to automatically detect and download missing AI components during the 'first run'.
