Fast tutorial to run FLUX on 8GB VRAM

UPDATE:this is a entry level article just to get people going in the first days of flux

UPDATE: also can run DEV fp8 version and of course GGUF versions (with gguf loader)

tldr: made it work on 32GB RAM and 8GB VRAM, but the generations take about 20 minutes (including schnell model loading). don't change the model or sampler. if you use euler simple + 4 steps will bring a generation 1024x768 at 2 minutes

long(er) version:

it will work on confyui + schnell model (4 steps) downloaded in ComfyUI/models/unet + ae.safetensors in ComfyUI/models/vae + t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn in ComfyUI/models/clip

will eat 32gb ram fast while loading model and need about 25gb of free hdd space (after it is installed) or else will throw a stupid "pause" error and make you cry without knowing what you did wrong

conclusion? schnell looks a little too oil painted for me, dev it's great.
