generation will start, and you will see the result when the process is finished.
Note: Make sure you keep the Terminal / Command Prompt open while using the Add-on and

shutdown, and you won’t be able to generate images.
Mac Intel as a client:
Mac Intel machines can run only the AI Visualizer add-on; the server must be installed on a different
Mac Silicon or Windows machine that meets the system requirements. In this setup, the Mac Intel
computer runs as a client which can connect to a local area network server, if that the server has been
already started manually.
Follow these steps to run AI Visualizer on a Mac Intel client + Mac Silicon / Windows server
