Startup

Startup Error

Solution
  • If you see RuntimeError: this license key is expired, try forcing an update:
bash
git pull
  • If you see RuntimeError: [WinError 10060]...(1:11076), Please try restarting:
bash
uv run --extra {gpu|cpu} cli.py start
  • For Windows, simply double-click start.bat or create a desktop shortcut to run it. Please adjust the environment settings according to your actual configuration.
creatorbox/start.bat
bash
REM Execute script
set SCRIPT_CMD=uv run --extra gpu
set SCRIPT_PATH=cli.py
set SCRIPT_ARGS=start -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8000
if "%~1"=="--debug" (
    set SCRIPT_ARGS=%SCRIPT_ARGS% --debug
)
  • runs on cpu by default. To use gpu, you need to add the --extra gpu parameter.

Startup Venv

Solution

Command startup requires pre-activating the environment in cmd. Using D:\Program Files\CreatorBox as an example:

  • Default Environment
bash
D: & cd "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox" & "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat"
  • Extended Environment
bash
# index_tts
D: & cd "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\index_tts" & "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\index_tts\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat"
# cosyvoice
D: & cd "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\cosyvoice" & "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\cosyvoice\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat"
# gpt_sovits
D: & cd "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\gpt_sovits" & "D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\gpt_sovits\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat"
...

Expected Output

log
(creatorbox) D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox>
(index_tts) D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\index_tts>
(cosyvoice) D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\cosyvoice>
(gpt_sovits) D:\Program Files\CreatorBox\creatorbox\extensions\gpt_sovits>
...
