After dragging run.sh it to the Terminal window and hit Enter, this message shows up in HomeBrew / Terminal.
I have moved the AI Visualizer folder from Add-ons into Archicad 27 folder > Add-ons > Extra.
And i have moved the sd.webui folder into Archicad 27 folder.

Ben, I see from your log that you're trying to run Stable Diffusion on an Intel Mac, but the system requirement is an Apple Silicon chip.

Oh! - Seems a bit odd that it would come with an installer for Intel Mac?

I already explained this in another topic:
You can install the Stable Diffusion server ('sd.webui' folder) on your compatible Mac Studio (with Apple Silicon) and specify the address of this server (such as 'macstudio:7860') in your AI Visualiser Add-On on your Intel Mac. Your Intel Mac's AI Visualiser Add-On will send requests to your powerful server and you'll get the result in Archicad.
All you need to do is copy the AI Visualizer folder from /IntelMac/Add-Ons/Extras/ to Archicad 27/Add-Ons/Extras/.
It's only 1.1 MB:

Hi GAG - I'm having similar issues to BenH1992. I have a MacBook Pro with an intel chip. I went through the downloading of homebrew, and am getting the error
python3-venv is not installed, aborting message. When I do all the steps like you walked BenH through, it shows I have python installed but I am unable to link them. I'm no coder and don't even know if I'm understanding this correctly so I have a few questions.
1. Do I even need python if I have an intel chip?
2. If not, do I just need to install the add on as you outlined above?
3. If that's the case, I completed this step but cannot get AI to generate any images.
4. Should I remove anything I installed homebrew related if all I need to do is install the add on?
I really appreciate your help!

If you're using an Intel Mac, the you can only use the AI Viz Add-on only to connect to another computer as a server (Apple Silicon Mac or modern Windows PC that meets the system requirements).

We managed to solve the problem and it works.
BUT!!! This development is at a very early stage. Totally useless, trivial stuff
Disappointment

HI there, I am currently stuck at the same installation error too. Kindly advise on how to overcome this.

Hi Martha K_Byomire,
Please note that the Add-on works with Apple Silicon chips only. An Intel-based Mac can be used as a client with the Add-on running on a server machine.
You can read more about this in the Installation guide.
Kind regards,
