title: InvokeAI Installer
---
The InvokeAI installer is a shell script that will install InvokeAI
onto a stock computer running recent versions of Linux, MacOSX or
Windows. It will leave you with a version that runs a stable version
of InvokeAI. When a new version of InvokeAI is released, you will
download and reinstall the new version.
If you wish to tinker with unreleased versions of InvokeAI that
introduce potentially unstable new features, you should consider using
the [source installer](INSTALL_SOURCE.md) or one of the [manual
install](INSTALL_MANUAL.md) methods.
Before you begin, make sure that you meet the [hardware
requirements](index.md#Hardware_Requirements) and has the appropriate
GPU drivers installed. In particular, if you are a Linux user with an
AMD GPU installed, you may need to install the [ROCm
driver](https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html).
Installation requires roughly 18G of free disk space to load the
libraries and recommended model weights files.
## Steps to Install
1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest)
of InvokeAI's installer for your platform
2. Place the downloaded package someplace where you have plenty of HDD space,
and have full permissions (i.e. `~/` on Lin/Mac; your home folder on Windows)
3. Extract the 'InvokeAI' folder from the downloaded package
4. Open the extracted 'InvokeAI' folder
5. Double-click 'install.bat' (Windows), or 'install.sh' (Lin/Mac) (or run from a terminal)
6. Follow the prompts
7. After installation, please run the 'invoke.bat' file (on Windows) or
'invoke.sh' file (on Linux/Mac) to start InvokeAI.
## Troubleshooting
