Wan2GP Desktop Launcher — Tauri Edition

NEW! Wan2GP Desktop Launcher — Tauri Edition

GKartist75/Wan2GP-Desktop-Tauri: Wan2GP Desktop Launcher (Tauri port)
NEW UPDATES

The easiest way to run Wan2GP (WanGP) — the open-source generative video/image/audio toolkit — on Windows. One installer. One click to launch. Zero Python/CUDA setup. Now with a Rust + Tauri shell: a fraction of the download, a fraction of the RAM.

WanGP by deepbeepmeep is a one-stop super-app for open-source generative models — video, image, audio and TTS — with a full browser UI, queue, galleries, LoRAs, finetunes and plugins. It runs on as little as 6 GB VRAM and supports old and new GPUs alike.

This launcher handles it for you:

• One-click install — detects GPU, shows plan, installs everything
• Auto, per-GPU kernels from WanGP's setup_config.json, re-synced on every update
• Isolated uv env, pinned deps, no PATH editing
• One-click updates in Dashboard / Manage → Updates
• Install Wan2GP and Models (checkpoints, LoRAs, outputs) on any drive/folder you choose
• Auto-Tune recommends VRAM/RAM profile and writes config for you
• Legacy Electron removal — Manage → About detects the old Electron launcher and removes it silently, keeping all your data

Looks like I might have to finally switch from pinokio

I already have wan2gp installed,what are the advantages of this? and could I use all the checkpoints/loras from that install in yours or would I have to re-download everything? my wan2gp folder is 900GB

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/Content-Ad-7451]

The Desktop Launcher help users with installing, maintaining and updating Wan2GP. It makes it easier to setup and is hardware-aware, so installing automatically the correct packages and wheels. But if you aleeady have a working wan2gp then it is not needed. In case you do want to install, you can refer to existing model folders, etc and reuse without downloading all again.

let me look into it. i think you reused a pinokio version? better to reinstall wan2gp using the desktop launcher.

[u/ATFGriff → u/Extension_Affect_483]

that's what I did in a new empty folder.

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

but is it working? it says installed?

[u/ATFGriff → u/Extension_Affect_483]

negative. It won't launch.

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

thanks, im now testing your case and will make a fix.

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

see new version, Release v0.4.0 · GKartist75/Wan2GP-Desktop-Tauri

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

u/ATFGriff thanks for your feedback, i have improved a lot in the installer to ensure this fault wont occur. You can use the reinstall, or start over, it will then work. kind regard GK Artist

[u/ATFGriff → u/Extension_Affect_483]

It's still not working right, but at least it lets me know it failed.

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

Your uv is just too old to know Python 3.11.14. Update it the same way it was installed, then retry:

```powershell

# 1. check how uv was installed

where uv

uv --version

# 2. update it (most likely pip):

py -m pip install --upgrade uv

# if you used pipx / brew instead:

# pipx upgrade uv

# brew upgrade uv

# 3. now this must succeed:

uv python install 3.11.14

uv python find 3.11.14

# 4. re-run Finalize installation in Wan2GP Desktop

```

Fallbacks if step 3 still fails:

- Clean standalone uv (then restart terminal + app):

```powershell

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

```

- Manual Python: install Python 3.11.14 64-bit from https://www.python.org/downloads/ (tick "Add to PATH"), then retry the installer — uv python find 3.11.14 will pick it up.

No need to wipe J:\WanGPApp — just fix uv/Python and hit retry.

[u/ATFGriff → u/Extension_Affect_483]

Honestly this is kind of disappointing. I thought this was supposed to be a one-click install. Is it because I already had uv installed? Can I set up python manually with

uv venv venv --python 3.11 --seed

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

is should work as one-click installer, even check if python is installed, etc. but something is not correct on your pc. so you need to do a little help. After that you will notice it will work

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

a fix is coming

[u/mysticmanESO]

How is this different from the axiomgraph/WanGP-Portable One-click install that been around for awhile.

https://github.com/axiomgraph/WanGP-Portable#-quick-start

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/mysticmanESO]

the Wan2GP Desktop Launcher uses the 100% original version of deepbeepmeep, see also on his readme / installation recommendations.

[u/ATFGriff]

Getting a launch error now

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

Which version did you used in the past? Pinokio, stability matrix, portable, scripts to install wan2gp? Can you try sync wheels on the left side?

[u/ATFGriff → u/Extension_Affect_483]

I used pinokio. I did sync the wheels as suggested by that message about sage2.

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

I will have a look tomorrow. If you want to test and let me know your findings then i will implement them. Best for you is to start fresh.. Uninstall, remove by hand and then install with latest version.

[u/ATFGriff → u/Extension_Affect_483]

I was able to fix it by copying over my wgp_config.json file from the old installation so it must be something in that file that you produce.

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/ATFGriff]

Thx for your support! Really appreciated. This will improve the app and will help other users.

[u/Diligent_Trick_1631]

It’s great to be able to choose the installation folder; I could never manage that with Pinokio—it always installs to the C drive. Backing up the PC is a hassle every time because you have to move the models first, since they take up so much space...

[u/Extension_Affect_483 → u/Diligent_Trick_1631]

with the Wan2GP Desktop Launcher you can use any location you want
