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](/#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.
