Quick Guide For Fixing/Installing Python, PyTorch, CUDA, Triton, Sage Attention and Flash Attention For Local AI Image Generation

With all the new local image & video generation tools coming out I've been seeing a lot of posts and error threads being opened for various issues with cuda/pytorch/sage attantion/triton/flash attention. I was tired of digging links up so I initially made this as a cheat sheet for myself but expanded it with hopes that this will help some of you get your venvs and systems running smoothly.

In This Guide:

1. Check Installed Python Versions
2. Set Default Python Version by Changing PATH
3. Installing VS Build Tools
4. Check the Currently Active CUDA Version

Visual Studio Build Tools Installation Guide for AI Image Generation

Visual Studio Build Tools are essential for running ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, Flux, Forge, and similar AI image generation tools locally on Windows. These tools provide the necessary C++ compiler and build environment required by many Python packages and CUDA-based applications. This guide will help you install the appropriate Visual Studio Build Tools to resolve common dependency issues.

1. Understanding VS Build Tools Versions

Visual Studio Build Tools come in several versions, with VS Build Tools 2022 being the latest as of April 2025. For most AI image generation tools, you'll need the C++ build tools component which provides the necessary compiler and libraries.

• VS Build Tools 2022 – Latest version, recommended for newer applications
• VS Build Tools 2019 – Still widely compatible with most AI tools
