Solving Invalid credentials in Authorization header error when downloading models from Hugging Face
🕑 Added 2025-04-18 22:18:35 +0000 UTCThis happens when your Hugging Face token is not anymore authorized for any reason
In this case run below command and delete your system registered token
Open a CMD and type below and hit enter
huggingface-cli logout
This will fix the below error
You may also get error when trying to download gated models, that time you have to enter your access token to your system and approve that model
But I don't put any Gated models into any of my installer so that is not an issue with my installers (i put them into public repos)
Or I provide a valid token with the installer itself so you don't have to do anything
