In other words, build frontend when creating installer. Changes to `create_installer.sh` - If `python` is not in `PATH` but `python3` is, alias them (well, via function). This is needed on some machines to run the installer without symlinking to `python3`. - Make the messages about pushing tags clearer. The script force-pushes, so it's possible to accidentally take destructive action. I'm not sure how to otherwise prevent damage, so I just added a warning. - Print out `pwd` when prompting about being in the `installer` dir. - Rebuild the frontend - if there is already a frontend build, first checks if the user wants to rebuild it. - Checks for existence of `../build` dir before deleting - if the dir doesn't exist, the script errors and exits at this point. - Format and spell check. Other changes: - Ignore `dist/` folder. - Delete `dist/`. **Note: you may need to use `git rm --cached invokeai/app/frontend/web/dist/` if git still wants to track `dist/`.**
More accurate/clearer messages
Using `-f` is functionally equivalent to first checking if the dir exists before removing it. We just want to ensure the build dir doesn't exists.

Description
I think it's time to remove the frontend build from the repo.
The intention was to allow contributors to work on the python side of things without needing to worry about the client.
While this is a nice sentiment, it is problematic:
main, which means if you run onmain, you have no guarantee that the frontend is compatible with the backendmain, which is deeply unsafe for them -mainis inherently unstable, and it's possible their database could get borked with an over-eagergit pullIt is for reasons like these that including builds in a repo is not a common practice.
This PR does two things:
create_installer.shto build the frontend & makes some minor QoL improvements to the scriptImpact to contributors
If you want to run the app on
main, you need to install the frontend toolchain. This currently consists ofnodejsandpnpm(a modern package manager with a terrible name that has replacedyarndue to technical issues withyarn):nodejsvia package manager, suggest LTS v20pnpmvianpmpnpm ifrominvokeai/frontend/webWith that installed, you have two options to run the app:
pnpm build, run the server per usual, and access the app atlocalhost:9090pnpm dev, run the server per usual, and access the app atlocalhost:5173create_installer.shchangesSee the commit for details, but in briefly, this script now builds the frontend before creating the installer.
If there is already a frontend build but you still want to recreate the installer, say no when asked if you want to rebuild the frontend.
You must have
nodejsandpnpminstalled to create an installer.Related Tickets & Documents
This has been a recurring discussion since the beginning of the project, so there may be tickets, but I don't know where.
