3. When prompted, enter a location for the install and select your GPU type.
4. Once the install finishes, find the directory you selected during install. The default location is `C:\Users\Username\invokeai` for Windows or `~/invokeai` for Linux/macOS.
We publish official container images in Github Container Registry: https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/pkgs/container/invokeai. Both CUDA and ROCm images are available. Check the above link for relevant tags.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Ensure that Docker is set up to use the GPU. Refer to [NVIDIA][nvidia docker docs] or [AMD][amd docker docs] documentation.
### Generate!
Run the container, modifying the command as necessary:
```bash
docker run --runtime=nvidia --gpus=all --publish 9090:9090 ghcr.io/invoke-ai/invokeai
```
Then open `http://localhost:9090` and install some models using the Model Manager tab to begin generating.
For ROCm, add `--device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri` to the `docker run` command.
### Persist your data
You will likely want to persist your workspace outside of the container. Use the `--volume /home/myuser/invokeai:/invokeai` flag to mount some local directory (using its **absolute** path) to the `/invokeai` path inside the container. Your generated images and models will reside there. You can use this directory with other InvokeAI installations, or switch between runtime directories as needed.
### DIY
Build your own image and customize the environment to match your needs using our `docker-compose` stack. See [README.md](./docker/README.md) in the [docker](./docker) directory.
The Unified Canvas is a fully integrated canvas implementation with support for all core generation capabilities, in/out-painting, brush tools, and more. This creative tool unlocks the capability for artists to create with AI as a creative collaborator, and can be used to augment AI-generated imagery, sketches, photography, renders, and more.
Invoke offers a fully featured workflow management solution, enabling users to combine the power of node-based workflows with the easy of a UI. This allows for customizable generation pipelines to be developed and shared by users looking to create specific workflows to support their production use-cases.
Invoke features an organized gallery system for easily storing, accessing, and remixing your content in the Invoke workspace. Images can be dragged/dropped onto any Image-base UI element in the application, and rich metadata within the Image allows for easy recall of key prompts or settings used in your workflow.
Anyone who wishes to contribute to this project - whether documentation, features, bug fixes, code cleanup, testing, or code reviews - is very much encouraged to do so.
Invoke is a combined effort of [passionate and talented people from across the world][contributors]. We thank them for their time, hard work and effort.
