 For installation, follow the instructions from the original CompViz/stable-diffusion
 README which is appended to this README for your convenience. A few things to be aware of:

 has connectivity, you will need to run this preloading script before the first run of dream.py. See
 "Workaround for machines with limited internet connectivity" below for the walkthrough.
 
+### Windows
+
+1. Install the most recent Python from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
+
+2. Install Anaconda3 (miniconda3 version) from here: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/windows/
+
+3. Install Git from here: https://git-scm.com/download/win
+
+4. Launch Anaconda from the Windows Start menu. This will bring up a command window. Type all the remaining commands in this window.
+
+5. Run the command:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion.git" 
+```
+This will create stable-diffusion folder where you will follow the rest of the steps.
+
+6. Run the following two commands:
+```
+conda env create -f environment.yaml
+conda activate ldm
+```
+This will install all python requirements (step 6a) and activate the "ldm" environment which sets PATH and other environment variables properly (6b).
+
+7. Run the command:
+```
+python scripts/preload_models.py
+```
+This installs two machine learning models that stable diffusion requires.
+
+8. Now you need to install the weights for the big stable diffusion model.
+
+For testing prior to the release of the real weights, create a directory within stable-diffusion named "models\ldm\text2img.large"
+```
+mkdir models\ldm\text2img.large
+```
+For testing with the released weighs, create a directory named within stable-diffusion named "models\ldm\stable-diffusion-v1"
+copy "model.ckpt" into "stable-diffusion\models\ldm\text2img.large\"
+```
+mkdir models\ldm\stable-diffusion-v1
+```
+Then use a web browser to copy model.ckpt into the appropriate directory. For the text2img.large (pre-release) model, the weights are at https://ommer-lab.com/files/latent-diffusion/nitro/txt2img-f8-large/model.ckpt
+
+9. Generate your first image:
+```
+# for the pre-release weights
+python scripts\dream.py -l
+
+# for the post-release weights
+python scripts\dream.py
+```
+10. Subsequently, to relaunch the script, first activate the Anaconda command window (step 4), run "conda activate ldm" (step 6b), and then launch the dream script (step 9).
