+title: Installing with the Automated Installer
+---
+
+# InvokeAI Automated Installation
+
+## Introduction
+
+The automated installer is a shell script that attempts to automate every step
+needed to install and run InvokeAI on a stock computer running recent versions
+of Linux, MacOS or Windows. It will leave you with a version that runs a stable
+version of InvokeAI with the option to upgrade to experimental versions later.
+
+## Walk through
+
+1. Make sure that your system meets 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).
+
+ !!! info "Required Space"
+
+ Installation requires roughly 18G of free disk space to load the libraries and
+ recommended model weights files.
+
+2. Check that your system has an up-to-date Python installed. To do this, open
+ up a command-line window ("Terminal" on Linux and Macintosh, "Command" or
+ "Powershell" on Windows) and type `python --version`. If Python is
+ installed, it will print out the version number. If it is version `3.9.1` or
+ higher, you meet requirements.
+
+
+
+ !!! warning "If you see an older version, or get a command not found error"
+
+ Go to [Python Downloads](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and
+ download the appropriate installer package for your platform. We recommend
+ [Version 3.10.9](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3109/),
+ which has been extensively tested with InvokeAI.
+
+ !!! warning "At this time we do not recommend Python 3.11"
+
+ _Please select your platform in the section below for platform-specific
+ setup requirements._
+
+ === "Windows users"
+
+ - During the Python configuration process,
+ look out for a checkbox to add Python to your PATH
+ and select it. If the install script complains that it can't
+ find python, then open the Python installer again and choose
+ "Modify" existing installation.
+
+ - Installation requires an up to date version of the Microsoft Visual C libraries. Please install the 2015-2022 libraries available here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/deploying-native-desktop-applications-visual-cpp?view=msvc-170
+
+ === "Mac users"
+
+ - After installing Python, you may need to run the
+ following command from the Terminal in order to install the Web
+ certificates needed to download model data from https sites. If
+ you see lots of CERTIFICATE ERRORS during the last part of the
+ install, this is the problem, and you can fix it with this command:
+
+ `/Applications/Python\ 3.10/Install\ Certificates.command`
+
+ - You may need to install the Xcode command line tools. These
+ are a set of tools that are needed to run certain applications in a
+ Terminal, including InvokeAI. This package is provided directly by Apple.
+
+ - To install, open a terminal window and run `xcode-select
+ --install`. You will get a macOS system popup guiding you through the
+ install. If you already have them installed, you will instead see some
+ output in the Terminal advising you that the tools are already installed.
+
+ - More information can be found here:
+ https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/install-xcode-command-line-tools/
+
+ === "Linux users"
+
+ For reasons that are not entirely clear, installing the correct version of Python can be a bit of a challenge on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and otherUbuntu-derived distributions.
+
+ In particular, Ubuntu version 20.04 LTS comes with an old version of Python, does not come with the PIP package manager installed, and to make matters worse, the `python` command points to Python2, not Python3.
+
+ Here is the quick recipe for bringing your system up to date:
+
+ ```
+ sudo apt update
+ sudo apt install python3.9
+ sudo apt install python3-pip
+ cd /usr/bin
+ sudo ln -sf python3.9 python3
+ sudo ln -sf python3 python
+ ```
+
+ You can still access older versions of Python by calling `python2`, `python3.8`,
+ etc.
+
+3. The source installer is distributed in ZIP files. Go to the
+ [latest release](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest), and
+ look for a series of files named:
+
+ - [InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-mac.zip](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest/download/InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-mac.zip)
+ - [InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest/download/InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip)
+ - [InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-linux.zip](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest/download/InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-linux.zip)
+
+ Download the one that is appropriate for your operating system.
+
+4. Unpack the zip file into a convenient directory. This will create a new
+ directory named "InvokeAI-Installer". This example shows how this would look
+ using the `unzip` command-line tool, but you may use any graphical or
+ command-line Zip extractor:
+
+ ```cmd
+ C:\Documents\Linco> unzip InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip
+ Archive: C: \Linco\Downloads\InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip
+ creating: InvokeAI-Installer\
+ inflating: InvokeAI-Installer\install.bat
+ inflating: InvokeAI-Installer\readme.txt
+ ...
+ ```
+
+ After successful installation, you can delete the `InvokeAI-Installer`
+ directory.
+
+5. **Windows only** Please double-click on the file WinLongPathsEnabled.reg and
+ accept the dialog box that asks you if you wish to modify your registry.
+ This activates long filename support on your system and will prevent
+ mysterious errors during installation.
+
+6. If you are using a desktop GUI, double-click the installer file. It will be
+ named `install.bat` on Windows systems and `install.sh` on Linux and
+ Macintosh systems.
+
+ On Windows systems you will probably get an "Untrusted Publisher" warning.
+ Click on "More Info" and select "Run Anyway." You trust us, right?
+
+7. Alternatively, from the command line, run the shell script or .bat file:
+
+ ```cmd
+ C:\Documents\Linco> cd InvokeAI-Installer
+ C:\Documents\Linco\invokeAI> install.bat
+ ```
+
+8. The script will ask you to choose where to install InvokeAI. Select a
+ directory with at least 18G of free space for a full install. InvokeAI and
+ all its support files will be installed into a new directory named
+ `invokeai` located at the location you specify.
+
+ - The default is to install the `invokeai` directory in your home directory,
+ usually `C:\Users\YourName\invokeai` on Windows systems,
+ `/home/YourName/invokeai` on Linux systems, and `/Users/YourName/invokeai`
+ on Macintoshes, where "YourName" is your login name.
+
+ - The script uses tab autocompletion to suggest directory path completions.
+ Type part of the path (e.g. "C:\Users") and press ++tab++ repeatedly
+ to suggest completions.
+
+9. Sit back and let the install script work. It will install the third-party
+ libraries needed by InvokeAI, then download the current InvokeAI release and
+ install it.
+
+ Be aware that some of the library download and install steps take a long
+ time. In particular, the `pytorch` package is quite large and often appears
+ to get "stuck" at 99.9%. Have patience and the installation step will
+ eventually resume. However, there are occasions when the library install
+ does legitimately get stuck. If you have been waiting for more than ten
+ minutes and nothing is happening, you can interrupt the script with ^C. You
+ may restart it and it will pick up where it left off.
+
+10. After installation completes, the installer will launch a script called
+ `configure_invokeai.py`, which will guide you through the first-time process
+ of selecting one or more Stable Diffusion model weights files, downloading
+ and configuring them. We provide a list of popular models that InvokeAI
+ performs well with. However, you can add more weight files later on using
+ the command-line client or the Web UI. See
+ [Installing Models](INSTALLING_MODELS.md) for details.
+
+ Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license
+ agreement that you must agree to in order to use. The script will list the
+ steps you need to take to create an account on the official site that hosts
+ the weights files, accept the agreement, and provide an access token that
+ allows InvokeAI to legally download and install the weights files.
+
+ If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
+ Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
+ prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
+ process for this is described in [Installing Models](INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
+
+11. The script will now exit and you'll be ready to generate some images. Look
+ for the directory `invokeai` installed in the location you chose at the
+ beginning of the install session. Look for a shell script named `invoke.sh`
+ (Linux/Mac) or `invoke.bat` (Windows). Launch the script by double-clicking
+ it or typing its name at the command-line:
+
+ ```cmd
+ C:\Documents\Linco> cd invokeai
+ C:\Documents\Linco\invokeAI> invoke.bat
+ ```
+
+ - The `invoke.bat` (`invoke.sh`) script will give you the choice of starting
+ (1) the command-line interface, or (2) the web GUI. If you start the
+ latter, you can load the user interface by pointing your browser at
+ http://localhost:9090.
+
+ - The script also offers you a third option labeled "open the developer
+ console". If you choose this option, you will be dropped into a
+ command-line interface in which you can run python commands directly,
+ access developer tools, and launch InvokeAI with customized options.
+
+12. You can launch InvokeAI with several different command-line arguments that
+ customize its behavior. For example, you can change the location of the
+ image output directory, or select your favorite sampler. See the
+ [Command-Line Interface](../features/CLI.md) for a full list of the options.
+
+ - To set defaults that will take effect every time you launch InvokeAI,
+ use a text editor (e.g. Notepad) to exit the file
+ `invokeai\invokeai.init`. It contains a variety of examples that you can
+ follow to add and modify launch options.
+
+!!! warning "The `invokeai` directory contains the `invoke` application, its
+configuration files, the model weight files, and outputs of image generation.
+Once InvokeAI is installed, do not move or remove this directory."
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### _Package dependency conflicts_
+
+If you have previously installed InvokeAI or another Stable Diffusion package,
+the installer may occasionally pick up outdated libraries and either the
+installer or `invoke` will fail with complaints about library conflicts. You can
+address this by entering the `invokeai` directory and running `update.sh`, which
+will bring InvokeAI up to date with the latest libraries.
+
+### ldm from pypi
+
+!!! warning
+
+ Some users have tried to correct dependency problems by installing
+ the `ldm` package from PyPi.org. Unfortunately this is an unrelated package that
+ has nothing to do with the 'latent diffusion model' used by InvokeAI. Installing
+ ldm will make matters worse. If you've installed ldm, uninstall it with
+ `pip uninstall ldm`.
+
+### Corrupted configuration file
+
+Everything seems to install ok, but `invoke` complains of a corrupted
+configuration file and goes back into the configuration process (asking you to
+download models, etc), but this doesn't fix the problem.
+
+This issue is often caused by a misconfigured configuration directive in the
+`invokeai\invokeai.init` initialization file that contains startup settings. The
+easiest way to fix the problem is to move the file out of the way and re-run
+`configure_invokeai.py`. Enter the developer's console (option 3 of the launcher
+script) and run this command:
+
+```cmd
+configure_invokeai.py --root=.
+```
+
+Note the dot (.) after `--root`. It is part of the command.
+
+_If none of these maneuvers fixes the problem_ then please report the problem to
+the [InvokeAI Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) section, or
+visit our [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy) for interactive
+assistance.
+
+### other problems
+
+If you run into problems during or after installation, the InvokeAI team is
+available to help you. Either create an
+[Issue](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) at our GitHub site, or
+make a request for help on the "bugs-and-support" channel of our
+[Discord server](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy). We are a 100% volunteer
+organization, but typically somebody will be available to help you within 24
+hours, and often much sooner.
+
+## Updating to newer versions
+
+This distribution is changing rapidly, and we add new features on a daily basis.
+To update to the latest released version (recommended), run the `update.sh`
+(Linux/Mac) or `update.bat` (Windows) scripts. This will fetch the latest
+release and re-run the `configure_invokeai` script to download any updated
+models files that may be needed. You can also use this to add additional models
+that you did not select at installation time.
+
+You can now close the developer console and run `invoke` as before. If you get
+complaints about missing models, then you may need to do the additional step of
+running `configure_invokeai.py`. This happens relatively infrequently. To do
+this, simply open up the developer's console again and type
+`python scripts/configure_invokeai.py`.
+
+You may also use the `update` script to install any selected version of
+InvokeAI. From https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI, navigate to the zip file
+link of the version you wish to install. You can find the zip links by going to
+the one of the release pages and looking for the **Assets** section at the
+bottom. Alternatively, you can browse "branches" and "tags" at the top of the
+big code directory on the InvokeAI welcome page. When you find the version you
+want to install, go to the green "<> Code" button at the top, and copy the
+"Download ZIP" link.
+
+Now run `update.sh` (or `update.bat`) with the URL of the desired InvokeAI
+version as its argument. For example, this will install the old 2.2.0 release.
+
+```cmd
+update.sh https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/archive/refs/tags/v2.2.0.zip
+```

+title: Installing Manually
+---
+
+
+
+!!! warning "This is for advanced Users"
+
+ who are already experienced with using conda or pip
+
+## Introduction
+
+You have two choices for manual installation, the [first
+one](#PIP_method) uses basic Python virtual environment (`venv`)
+commands and the PIP package manager. The [second one](#Conda_method)
+based on the Anaconda3 package manager (`conda`). Both methods require
+you to enter commands on the terminal, also known as the "console".
+
+Note that the conda install method is currently deprecated and will not
+be supported at some point in the future.
+
+On Windows systems you are encouraged to install and use the
+[Powershell](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.3),
+which provides compatibility with Linux and Mac shells and nice
+features such as command-line completion.
+
+## pip Install
+
+To install InvokeAI with virtual environments and the PIP package
+manager, please follow these steps:
+
+1. Make sure you are using Python 3.9 or 3.10. The rest of the install
+ procedure depends on this:
+
+ ```bash
+ python -V
+ ```
+
+2. From within the InvokeAI top-level directory, create and activate a virtual
+ environment named `invokeai`:
+
+ ```bash
+ python -mvenv invokeai
+ source invokeai/bin/activate
+ ```
+
+3. Make sure that pip is installed in your virtual environment an up to date:
+
+ ```bash
+ python -mensurepip --upgrade
+ python -mpip install --upgrade pip
+ ```
+
+4. Pick the correct `requirements*.txt` file for your hardware and operating
+ system.
+
+ We have created a series of environment files suited for different operating
+ systems and GPU hardware. They are located in the
+ `environments-and-requirements` directory:
+
+
+
+ Select the appropriate requirements file, and make a link to it from
+ `requirements.txt` in the top-level InvokeAI directory. The command to do
+ this from the top-level directory is:
+
+ !!! example ""
+
+ === "Macintosh and Linux"
+
+ !!! info "Replace `xxx` and `yyy` with the appropriate OS and GPU codes."
+
+ ```bash
+ ln -sf environments-and-requirements/requirements-xxx-yyy.txt requirements.txt
+ ```
+
+ === "Windows"
+
+ !!! info "on Windows, admin privileges are required to make links, so we use the copy command instead"
+
+ ```cmd
+ copy environments-and-requirements\requirements-lin-win-colab-cuda.txt requirements.txt
+ ```
+
+ !!! warning
+
+ Please do not link or copy `environments-and-requirements/requirements-base.txt`.
+ This is a base requirements file that does not have the platform-specific
+ libraries. Also, be sure to link or copy the platform-specific file to
+ a top-level file named `requirements.txt` as shown here. Running pip on
+ a requirements file in a subdirectory will not work as expected.
+
+ When this is done, confirm that a file named `requirements.txt` has been
+ created in the InvokeAI root directory and that it points to the correct
+ file in `environments-and-requirements`.
+
+5. Run PIP
+
+ Be sure that the `invokeai` environment is active before doing this:
+
+ ```bash
+ pip install --prefer-binary -r requirements.txt
+ ```
+
+6. Set up the runtime directory
+
+ In this step you will initialize a runtime directory that will
+ contain the models, model config files, directory for textual
+ inversion embeddings, and your outputs. This keeps the runtime
+ directory separate from the source code and aids in updating.
+
+ You may pick any location for this directory using the `--root_dir`
+ option (abbreviated --root). If you don't pass this option, it will
+ default to `invokeai` in your home directory.
+
+ ```bash
+ configure_invokeai.py --root_dir ~/Programs/invokeai
+ ```
+
+ The script `configure_invokeai.py` will interactively guide you through the
+ process of downloading and installing the weights files needed for InvokeAI.
+ Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license
+ agreement that you have to agree to. The script will list the steps you need
+ to take to create an account on the site that hosts the weights files,
+ accept the agreement, and provide an access token that allows InvokeAI to
+ legally download and install the weights files.
+
+ If you get an error message about a module not being installed, check that
+ the `invokeai` environment is active and if not, repeat step 5.
+
+ Note that `configure_invokeai.py` and `invoke.py` should be installed
+ under your virtual environment directory and the system should find them
+ on the PATH. If this isn't working on your system, you can call the
+ scripts directory using `python scripts/configure_invoke.py` and
+ `python scripts/invoke.py`.
+
+ !!! tip
+
+ If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
+ Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
+ prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
+ process for this is described in [here](INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
+
+7. Run the command-line- or the web- interface:
+
+ Activate the environment (with `source invokeai/bin/activate`), and then
+ run the script `invoke.py`. If you selected a non-default location
+ for the runtime directory, please specify the path with the `--root_dir`
+ option (abbreviated below as `--root`):
+
+ !!! example ""
+
+ !!! warning "Make sure that the virtual environment is activated, which should create `(invokeai)` in front of your prompt!"
+
+ === "CLI"
+
+ ```bash
+ invoke.py --root ~/Programs/invokeai
+ ```
+
+ === "local Webserver"
+
+ ```bash
+ invoke.py --web --root ~/Programs/invokeai
+ ```
+
+ === "Public Webserver"
+
+ ```bash
+ invoke.py --web --host 0.0.0.0 --root ~/Programs/invokeai
+ ```
+
+ If you choose the run the web interface, point your browser at
+ http://localhost:9090 in order to load the GUI.
+
+ !!! tip
+
+ You can permanently set the location of the runtime directory by setting the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT to the path of the directory.
+
+8. Render away!
+
+ Browse the [features](../features/CLI.md) section to learn about all the things you
+ can do with InvokeAI.
+
+ Note that some GPUs are slow to warm up. In particular, when using an AMD
+ card with the ROCm driver, you may have to wait for over a minute the first
+ time you try to generate an image. Fortunately, after the warm up period
+ rendering will be fast.
+
+9. Subsequently, to relaunch the script, be sure to run "conda activate
+ invokeai", enter the `InvokeAI` directory, and then launch the invoke
+ script. If you forget to activate the 'invokeai' environment, the script
+ will fail with multiple `ModuleNotFound` errors.
+
+ !!! tip
+
+ Do not move the source code repository after installation. The virtual environment directory has absolute paths in it that get confused if the directory is moved.
+
+---
+
+### Conda method
+
+1. Check that your system meets 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).
+
+ InvokeAI does not yet support Windows machines with AMD GPUs due to the lack
+ of ROCm driver support on this platform.
+
+ To confirm that the appropriate drivers are installed, run `nvidia-smi` on
+ NVIDIA/CUDA systems, and `rocm-smi` on AMD systems. These should return
+ information about the installed video card.
+
+ Macintosh users with MPS acceleration, or anybody with a CPU-only system,
+ can skip this step.
+
+2. You will need to install Anaconda3 and Git if they are not already
+ available. Use your operating system's preferred package manager, or
+ download the installers manually. You can find them here:
+
+ - [Anaconda3](https://www.anaconda.com/)
+ - [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
+
+3. Clone the [InvokeAI](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI) source code from
+ GitHub:
+
+ ```bash
+ git clone https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI.git
+ ```
+
+ This will create InvokeAI folder where you will follow the rest of the
+ steps.
+
+4. Enter the newly-created InvokeAI folder:
+
+ ```bash
+ cd InvokeAI
+ ```
+
+ From this step forward make sure that you are working in the InvokeAI
+ directory!
+
+5. Select the appropriate environment file:
+
+ We have created a series of environment files suited for different operating
+ systems and GPU hardware. They are located in the
+ `environments-and-requirements` directory:
+
+
+
+ Choose the appropriate environment file for your system and link or copy it
+ to `environment.yml` in InvokeAI's top-level directory. To do so, run
+ following command from the repository-root:
+
+ !!! Example ""
+
+ === "Macintosh and Linux"
+
+ !!! todo "Replace `xxx` and `yyy` with the appropriate OS and GPU codes as seen in the table above"
+
+ ```bash
+ ln -sf environments-and-requirements/environment-xxx-yyy.yml environment.yml
+ ```
+
+ When this is done, confirm that a file `environment.yml` has been linked in
+ the InvokeAI root directory and that it points to the correct file in the
+ `environments-and-requirements`.
+
+ ```bash
+ ls -la
+ ```
+
+ === "Windows"
+
+ !!! todo " Since it requires admin privileges to create links, we will use the copy command to create your `environment.yml`"
+
+ ```cmd
+ copy environments-and-requirements\environment-win-cuda.yml environment.yml
+ ```
+
+ Afterwards verify that the file `environment.yml` has been created, either via the
+ explorer or by using the command `dir` from the terminal
+
+ ```cmd
+ dir
+ ```
+
+ !!! warning "Do not try to run conda on directly on the subdirectory environments file. This won't work. Instead, copy or link it to the top-level directory as shown."
+
+6. Create the conda environment:
+
+ ```bash
+ conda env update
+ ```
+
+ This will create a new environment named `invokeai` and install all InvokeAI
+ dependencies into it. If something goes wrong you should take a look at
+ [troubleshooting](#troubleshooting).
+
+7. Activate the `invokeai` environment:
+
+ In order to use the newly created environment you will first need to
+ activate it
+
+ ```bash
+ conda activate invokeai
+ ```
+
+ Your command-line prompt should change to indicate that `invokeai` is active
+ by prepending `(invokeai)`.
+
+8. Set up the runtime directory
+
+ In this step you will initialize a runtime directory that will
+ contain the models, model config files, directory for textual
+ inversion embeddings, and your outputs. This keeps the runtime
+ directory separate from the source code and aids in updating.
+
+ You may pick any location for this directory using the `--root_dir`
+ option (abbreviated --root). If you don't pass this option, it will
+ default to `invokeai` in your home directory.
+
+ ```bash
+ python scripts/configure_invokeai.py --root_dir ~/Programs/invokeai
+ ```
+
+ The script `configure_invokeai.py` will interactively guide you through the
+ process of downloading and installing the weights files needed for InvokeAI.
+ Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license
+ agreement that you have to agree to. The script will list the steps you need
+ to take to create an account on the site that hosts the weights files,
+ accept the agreement, and provide an access token that allows InvokeAI to
+ legally download and install the weights files.
+
+ If you get an error message about a module not being installed, check that
+ the `invokeai` environment is active and if not, repeat step 5.
+
+ Note that `configure_invokeai.py` and `invoke.py` should be
+ installed under your conda directory and the system should find
+ them automatically on the PATH. If this isn't working on your
+ system, you can call the scripts directory using `python
+ scripts/configure_invoke.py` and `python scripts/invoke.py`.
+
+ !!! tip
+
+ If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
+ Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
+ prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
+ process for this is described in [here](INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
+
+9. Run the command-line- or the web- interface:
+
+ Activate the environment (with `source invokeai/bin/activate`), and then
+ run the script `invoke.py`. If you selected a non-default location
+ for the runtime directory, please specify the path with the `--root_dir`
+ option (abbreviated below as `--root`):
+

+
+ !!! tip
+
+ You can permanently set the location of the runtime directory by setting the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT to the path of your choice.
+
+10. Render away!
+
+ Browse the [features](../features/CLI.md) section to learn about all the things you
+ can do with InvokeAI.
+
+ Note that some GPUs are slow to warm up. In particular, when using an AMD
+ card with the ROCm driver, you may have to wait for over a minute the first
+ time you try to generate an image. Fortunately, after the warm up period
+ rendering will be fast.
+
+11. Subsequently, to relaunch the script, be sure to run "conda activate
+ invokeai", enter the `InvokeAI` directory, and then launch the invoke
+ script. If you forget to activate the 'invokeai' environment, the script
+ will fail with multiple `ModuleNotFound` errors.
+
+## Creating an "install" version of InvokeAI
+
+If you wish you can install InvokeAI and all its dependencies in the
+runtime directory. This allows you to delete the source code
+repository and eliminates the need to provide `--root_dir` at startup
+time. Note that this method only works with the PIP method.
+
+1. Follow the instructions for the PIP install, but in step #2 put the
+ virtual environment into the runtime directory. For example, assuming the
+ runtime directory lives in `~/Programs/invokeai`, you'd run:
+
+ ```bash
+ python -menv ~/Programs/invokeai
+ ```
+
+2. Now follow steps 3 to 5 in the PIP recipe, ending with the `pip install`
+ step.
+
+3. Run one additional step while you are in the source code repository
+ directory `pip install .` (note the dot at the end).
+
+4. That's all! Now, whenever you activate the virtual environment,
+ `invoke.py` will know where to look for the runtime directory without
+ needing a `--root_dir` argument. In addition, you can now move or
+ delete the source code repository entirely.
+
+ (Don't move the runtime directory!)
+
+## Updating to newer versions of the script
+
+This distribution is changing rapidly. If you used the `git clone` method
+(step 5) to download the InvokeAI directory, then to update to the latest and
+greatest version, launch the Anaconda window, enter `InvokeAI` and type:
+
+```bash
+git pull
+conda env update
+python scripts/configure_invokeai.py --no-interactive #optional
+```
+
+This will bring your local copy into sync with the remote one. The last step may
+be needed to take advantage of new features or released models. The
+`--no-interactive` flag will prevent the script from prompting you to download
+the big Stable Diffusion weights files.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+Here are some common issues and their suggested solutions.
+
+### Conda
+
+#### Conda fails before completing `conda update`
+
+The usual source of these errors is a package incompatibility. While we have
+tried to minimize these, over time packages get updated and sometimes introduce
+incompatibilities.
+
+We suggest that you search
+[Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) or the "bugs-and-support"
+channel of the [InvokeAI Discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy).
+
+You may also try to install the broken packages manually using PIP. To do this,
+activate the `invokeai` environment, and run `pip install` with the name and
+version of the package that is causing the incompatibility. For example:
+
+```bash
+pip install test-tube==0.7.5
+```
+
+You can keep doing this until all requirements are satisfied and the `invoke.py`
+script runs without errors. Please report to
+[Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) what you were able to do
+to work around the problem so that others can benefit from your investigation.
+
+### Create Conda Environment fails on MacOS
+
+If conda create environment fails with lmdb error, this is most likely caused by Clang.
+Run brew config to see which Clang is installed on your Mac. If Clang isn't installed, that's causing the error.
+Start by installing additional XCode command line tools, followed by brew install llvm.
+
+```bash
+xcode-select --install
+brew install llvm
+```
+
+If brew config has Clang installed, update to the latest llvm and try creating the environment again.
+
+#### `configure_invokeai.py` or `invoke.py` crashes at an early stage
+
+This is usually due to an incomplete or corrupted Conda install. Make sure you
+have linked to the correct environment file and run `conda update` again.
+
+If the problem persists, a more extreme measure is to clear Conda's caches and
+remove the `invokeai` environment:
+
+```bash
+conda deactivate
+conda env remove -n invokeai
+conda clean -a
+conda update
+```
+
+This removes all cached library files, including ones that may have been
+corrupted somehow. (This is not supposed to happen, but does anyway).
+
+#### `invoke.py` crashes at a later stage
+
+If the CLI or web site had been working ok, but something unexpected happens
+later on during the session, you've encountered a code bug that is probably
+unrelated to an install issue. Please search
+[Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues), file a bug report, or
+ask for help on [Discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy)
+
+#### My renders are running very slowly
+
+You may have installed the wrong torch (machine learning) package, and the
+system is running on CPU rather than the GPU. To check, look at the log messages
+that appear when `invoke.py` is first starting up. One of the earlier lines
+should say `Using device type cuda`. On AMD systems, it will also say "cuda",
+and on Macintoshes, it should say "mps". If instead the message says it is
+running on "cpu", then you may need to install the correct torch library.
+
+You may be able to fix this by installing a different torch library. Here are
+the magic incantations for Conda and PIP.
+
+!!! todo "For CUDA systems"
+
+ - conda
+
+ ```bash
+ conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
+ ```
+
+ - pip
+
+ ```bash
+ pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116

+
+ - conda
+
+ ```bash

+ ```
+
+ - pip

+ ```bash
+ pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.2/
+ ```

-title: InvokeAI Automated Installation
----
-
-# InvokeAI Automated Installation
-
-## Introduction
-
-The automated installer is a shell script that attempts to automate every step
-needed to install and run InvokeAI on a stock computer running recent versions
-of Linux, MacOS or Windows. It will leave you with a version that runs a stable
-version of InvokeAI with the option to upgrade to experimental versions later.
-
-## Walk through
-
-1. Make sure that your system meets 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).
-
- !!! info "Required Space"
-
- Installation requires roughly 18G of free disk space to load the libraries and
- recommended model weights files.
-
-2. Check that your system has an up-to-date Python installed. To do this, open
- up a command-line window ("Terminal" on Linux and Macintosh, "Command" or
- "Powershell" on Windows) and type `python --version`. If Python is
- installed, it will print out the version number. If it is version `3.9.1` or
- higher, you meet requirements.
-
- !!! warning "If you see an older version, or get a command not found error"
-
- Go to [Python Downloads](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and
- download the appropriate installer package for your platform. We recommend
- [Version 3.10.9](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3109/),
- which has been extensively tested with InvokeAI.
-
- !!! warning "At this time we do not recommend Python 3.11"
-
- === "Windows users"
-
- - During the Python configuration process,
- Please look out for a checkbox to add Python to your PATH
- and select it. If the install script complains that it can't
- find python, then open the Python installer again and choose
- "Modify" existing installation.
-
- - There is a slight possibility that you will encountered
- DLL load errors at the very end of the installation process. This is caused
- by not having up to date Visual C++ redistributable libraries. If this
- happens to you, you can install the C++ libraries from this site:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/deploying-native-desktop-applications-visual-cpp?view=msvc-170
-
- === "Mac users"
-
- - After installing Python, you may need to run the
- following command from the Terminal in order to install the Web
- certificates needed to download model data from https sites. If
- you see lots of CERTIFICATE ERRORS during the last part of the
- install, this is the problem, and you can fix it with this command:
-
- `/Applications/Python\ 3.10/Install\ Certificates.command`
-
- - You may need to install the Xcode command line tools. These
- are a set of tools that are needed to run certain applications in a
- Terminal, including InvokeAI. This package is provided directly by Apple.
-
- - To install, open a terminal window and run `xcode-select
- --install`. You will get a macOS system popup guiding you through the
- install. If you already have them installed, you will instead see some
- output in the Terminal advising you that the tools are already installed.
-
- - More information can be found here:
- https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/install-xcode-command-line-tools/
-
- === "Linux users"
-
- - See [Installing Python in Ubuntu](#installing-python-in-ubuntu) for some
- platform-specific tips.
-
-3. The source installer is distributed in ZIP files. Go to the
- [latest release](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest), and
- look for a series of files named:
-
- - [InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-mac.zip](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest/download/InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-mac.zip)
- - [InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest/download/InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip)
- - [InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-linux.zip](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest/download/InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-linux.zip)
-
- Download the one that is appropriate for your operating system.
-
-4. Unpack the zip file into a convenient directory. This will create a new
- directory named "InvokeAI-Installer". This example shows how this would look
- using the `unzip` command-line tool, but you may use any graphical or
- command-line Zip extractor:
-
- ```cmd
- C:\Documents\Linco> unzip InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip
- Archive: C: \Linco\Downloads\InvokeAI-installer-2.2.4-windows.zip
- creating: InvokeAI-Installer\
- inflating: InvokeAI-Installer\install.bat
- inflating: InvokeAI-Installer\readme.txt
- ...
- ```
-
- After successful installation, you can delete the `InvokeAI-Installer`
- directory.
-
-5. **Windows only** Please double-click on the file WinLongPathsEnabled.reg and
- accept the dialog box that asks you if you wish to modify your registry.
- This activates long filename support on your system and will prevent
- mysterious errors during installation.
-
-6. If you are using a desktop GUI, double-click the installer file. It will be
- named `install.bat` on Windows systems and `install.sh` on Linux and
- Macintosh systems.
-
- On Windows systems you will probably get an "Untrusted Publisher" warning.
- Click on "More Info" and select "Run Anyway." You trust us, right?
-
-7. Alternatively, from the command line, run the shell script or .bat file:
-
- ```cmd
- C:\Documents\Linco> cd InvokeAI-Installer
- C:\Documents\Linco\invokeAI> install.bat
- ```
-
-8. The script will ask you to choose where to install InvokeAI. Select a
- directory with at least 18G of free space for a full install. InvokeAI and
- all its support files will be installed into a new directory named
- `invokeai` located at the location you specify.
-
- - The default is to install the `invokeai` directory in your home directory,
- usually `C:\Users\YourName\invokeai` on Windows systems,
- `/home/YourName/invokeai` on Linux systems, and `/Users/YourName/invokeai`
- on Macintoshes, where "YourName" is your login name.
-
- - The script uses tab autocompletion to suggest directory path completions.
- Type part of the path (e.g. "C:\Users") and press ++tab++ repeatedly
- to suggest completions.
-
-9. Sit back and let the install script work. It will install the third-party
- libraries needed by InvokeAI, then download the current InvokeAI release and
- install it.
-
- Be aware that some of the library download and install steps take a long
- time. In particular, the `pytorch` package is quite large and often appears
- to get "stuck" at 99.9%. Have patience and the installation step will
- eventually resume. However, there are occasions when the library install
- does legitimately get stuck. If you have been waiting for more than ten
- minutes and nothing is happening, you can interrupt the script with ^C. You
- may restart it and it will pick up where it left off.
-
-10. After installation completes, the installer will launch a script called
- `configure_invokeai.py`, which will guide you through the first-time process
- of selecting one or more Stable Diffusion model weights files, downloading
- and configuring them. We provide a list of popular models that InvokeAI
- performs well with. However, you can add more weight files later on using
- the command-line client or the Web UI. See
- [Installing Models](INSTALLING_MODELS.md) for details.
-
- Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license
- agreement that you must agree to in order to use. The script will list the
- steps you need to take to create an account on the official site that hosts
- the weights files, accept the agreement, and provide an access token that
- allows InvokeAI to legally download and install the weights files.
-
- If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
- Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
- prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
- process for this is described in [Installing Models](INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
-
-11. The script will now exit and you'll be ready to generate some images. Look
- for the directory `invokeai` installed in the location you chose at the
- beginning of the install session. Look for a shell script named `invoke.sh`
- (Linux/Mac) or `invoke.bat` (Windows). Launch the script by double-clicking
- it or typing its name at the command-line:
-
- ```cmd
- C:\Documents\Linco> cd invokeai
- C:\Documents\Linco\invokeAI> invoke.bat
- ```
-
- - The `invoke.bat` (`invoke.sh`) script will give you the choice of starting
- (1) the command-line interface, or (2) the web GUI. If you start the
- latter, you can load the user interface by pointing your browser at
- http://localhost:9090.
-
- - The script also offers you a third option labeled "open the developer
- console". If you choose this option, you will be dropped into a
- command-line interface in which you can run python commands directly,
- access developer tools, and launch InvokeAI with customized options.
-
-12. You can launch InvokeAI with several different command-line arguments that
- customize its behavior. For example, you can change the location of the
- image output directory, or select your favorite sampler. See the
- [Command-Line Interface](../features/CLI.md) for a full list of the options.
-
- - To set defaults that will take effect every time you launch InvokeAI,
- use a text editor (e.g. Notepad) to exit the file
- `invokeai\invokeai.init`. It contains a variety of examples that you can
- follow to add and modify launch options.
-
-!!! warning "The `invokeai` directory contains the `invoke` application, its
-configuration files, the model weight files, and outputs of image generation.
-Once InvokeAI is installed, do not move or remove this directory."
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### _Package dependency conflicts_
-
-If you have previously installed InvokeAI or another Stable Diffusion package,
-the installer may occasionally pick up outdated libraries and either the
-installer or `invoke` will fail with complaints about library conflicts. You can
-address this by entering the `invokeai` directory and running `update.sh`, which
-will bring InvokeAI up to date with the latest libraries.
-
-### ldm from pypi
-
-!!! warning
-
- Some users have tried to correct dependency problems by installing
- the `ldm` package from PyPi.org. Unfortunately this is an unrelated package that
- has nothing to do with the 'latent diffusion model' used by InvokeAI. Installing
- ldm will make matters worse. If you've installed ldm, uninstall it with
- `pip uninstall ldm`.
-
-### Corrupted configuration file
-
-Everything seems to install ok, but `invoke` complains of a corrupted
-configuration file and goes back into the configuration process (asking you to
-download models, etc), but this doesn't fix the problem.
-
-This issue is often caused by a misconfigured configuration directive in the
-`invokeai\invokeai.init` initialization file that contains startup settings. The
-easiest way to fix the problem is to move the file out of the way and re-run
-`configure_invokeai.py`. Enter the developer's console (option 3 of the launcher
-script) and run this command:
-
-```cmd
-configure_invokeai.py --root=.
-```
-
-Note the dot (.) after `--root`. It is part of the command.
-
-_If none of these maneuvers fixes the problem_ then please report the problem to
-the [InvokeAI Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) section, or
-visit our [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy) for interactive
-assistance.
-
-### other problems
-
-If you run into problems during or after installation, the InvokeAI team is
-available to help you. Either create an
-[Issue](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) at our GitHub site, or
-make a request for help on the "bugs-and-support" channel of our
-[Discord server](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy). We are a 100% volunteer
-organization, but typically somebody will be available to help you within 24
-hours, and often much sooner.
-
-## Updating to newer versions
-
-This distribution is changing rapidly, and we add new features on a daily basis.
-To update to the latest released version (recommended), run the `update.sh`
-(Linux/Mac) or `update.bat` (Windows) scripts. This will fetch the latest
-release and re-run the `configure_invokeai` script to download any updated
-models files that may be needed. You can also use this to add additional models
-that you did not select at installation time.
-
-You can now close the developer console and run `invoke` as before. If you get
-complaints about missing models, then you may need to do the additional step of
-running `configure_invokeai.py`. This happens relatively infrequently. To do
-this, simply open up the developer's console again and type
-`python scripts/configure_invokeai.py`.
-
-You may also use the `update` script to install any selected version of
-InvokeAI. From https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI, navigate to the zip file
-link of the version you wish to install. You can find the zip links by going to
-the one of the release pages and looking for the **Assets** section at the
-bottom. Alternatively, you can browse "branches" and "tags" at the top of the
-big code directory on the InvokeAI welcome page. When you find the version you
-want to install, go to the green "<> Code" button at the top, and copy the
-"Download ZIP" link.
-
-Now run `update.sh` (or `update.bat`) with the URL of the desired InvokeAI
-version as its argument. For example, this will install the old 2.2.0 release.
-
-```cmd
-update.sh https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/archive/refs/tags/v2.2.0.zip
-```
-
-## Installing Python in Ubuntu
-
-For reasons that are not entirely clear, installing the correct version of
-Python can be a bit of a challenge on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other
-Ubuntu-derived distributions.
-
-In particular, Ubuntu version 20.04 LTS comes with an old version of Python,
-does not come with the PIP package manager installed, and to make matters worse,
-the `python` command points to Python2, not Python3.
-
-Here is the quick recipe for bringing your system up to date:
-
-```
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install python3.9
-sudo apt install python3-pip
-cd /usr/bin
-sudo ln -sf python3.9 python3
-sudo ln -sf python3 python
-```
-
-You can still access older versions of Python by calling `python2`, `python3.8`,
-etc.

-title: Manual Installation
----
-
-
-
-!!! warning "This is for advanced Users"
-
- who are already experienced with using conda or pip
-
-## Introduction
-
-You have two choices for manual installation, the [first
-one](#PIP_method) uses basic Python virtual environment (`venv`)
-commands and the PIP package manager. The [second one](#Conda_method)
-based on the Anaconda3 package manager (`conda`). Both methods require
-you to enter commands on the terminal, also known as the "console".
-
-Note that the conda install method is currently deprecated and will not
-be supported at some point in the future.
-
-On Windows systems you are encouraged to install and use the
-[Powershell](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.3),
-which provides compatibility with Linux and Mac shells and nice
-features such as command-line completion.
-
-## pip Install
-
-To install InvokeAI with virtual environments and the PIP package
-manager, please follow these steps:
-
-1. Make sure you are using Python 3.9 or 3.10. The rest of the install
- procedure depends on this:
-
- ```bash
- python -V
- ```
-
-2. From within the InvokeAI top-level directory, create and activate a virtual
- environment named `invokeai`:
-
- ```bash
- python -mvenv invokeai
- source invokeai/bin/activate
- ```
-
-3. Make sure that pip is installed in your virtual environment an up to date:
-
- ```bash
- python -mensurepip --upgrade
- python -mpip install --upgrade pip
- ```
-
-4. Pick the correct `requirements*.txt` file for your hardware and operating
- system.
-
- We have created a series of environment files suited for different operating
- systems and GPU hardware. They are located in the
- `environments-and-requirements` directory:
-
-
-
- Select the appropriate requirements file, and make a link to it from
- `requirements.txt` in the top-level InvokeAI directory. The command to do
- this from the top-level directory is:
-
- !!! example ""
-
- === "Macintosh and Linux"
-
- !!! info "Replace `xxx` and `yyy` with the appropriate OS and GPU codes."
-
- ```bash
- ln -sf environments-and-requirements/requirements-xxx-yyy.txt requirements.txt
- ```
-
- === "Windows"
-
- !!! info "on Windows, admin privileges are required to make links, so we use the copy command instead"
-
- ```cmd
- copy environments-and-requirements\requirements-lin-win-colab-cuda.txt requirements.txt
- ```
-
- !!! warning
-
- Please do not link or copy `environments-and-requirements/requirements-base.txt`.
- This is a base requirements file that does not have the platform-specific
- libraries. Also, be sure to link or copy the platform-specific file to
- a top-level file named `requirements.txt` as shown here. Running pip on
- a requirements file in a subdirectory will not work as expected.
-
- When this is done, confirm that a file named `requirements.txt` has been
- created in the InvokeAI root directory and that it points to the correct
- file in `environments-and-requirements`.
-
-5. Run PIP
-
- Be sure that the `invokeai` environment is active before doing this:
-
- ```bash
- pip install --prefer-binary -r requirements.txt
- ```
-
-6. Set up the runtime directory
-
- In this step you will initialize a runtime directory that will
- contain the models, model config files, directory for textual
- inversion embeddings, and your outputs. This keeps the runtime
- directory separate from the source code and aids in updating.
-
- You may pick any location for this directory using the `--root_dir`
- option (abbreviated --root). If you don't pass this option, it will
- default to `invokeai` in your home directory.
-
- ```bash
- configure_invokeai.py --root_dir ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- The script `configure_invokeai.py` will interactively guide you through the
- process of downloading and installing the weights files needed for InvokeAI.
- Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license
- agreement that you have to agree to. The script will list the steps you need
- to take to create an account on the site that hosts the weights files,
- accept the agreement, and provide an access token that allows InvokeAI to
- legally download and install the weights files.
-
- If you get an error message about a module not being installed, check that
- the `invokeai` environment is active and if not, repeat step 5.
-
- Note that `configure_invokeai.py` and `invoke.py` should be installed
- under your virtual environment directory and the system should find them
- on the PATH. If this isn't working on your system, you can call the
- scripts directory using `python scripts/configure_invoke.py` and
- `python scripts/invoke.py`.
-
- !!! tip
-
- If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
- Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
- prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
- process for this is described in [here](INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
-
-7. Run the command-line- or the web- interface:
-
- Activate the environment (with `source invokeai/bin/activate`), and then
- run the script `invoke.py`. If you selected a non-default location
- for the runtime directory, please specify the path with the `--root_dir`
- option (abbreviated below as `--root`):
-
- !!! example ""
-
- !!! warning "Make sure that the virtual environment is activated, which should create `(invokeai)` in front of your prompt!"
-
- === "CLI"
-
- ```bash
- invoke.py --root ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- === "local Webserver"
-
- ```bash
- invoke.py --web --root ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- === "Public Webserver"
-
- ```bash
- invoke.py --web --host 0.0.0.0 --root ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- If you choose the run the web interface, point your browser at
- http://localhost:9090 in order to load the GUI.
-
- !!! tip
-
- You can permanently set the location of the runtime directory by setting the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT to the path of the directory.
-
-8. Render away!
-
- Browse the [features](../features/CLI.md) section to learn about all the things you
- can do with InvokeAI.
-
- Note that some GPUs are slow to warm up. In particular, when using an AMD
- card with the ROCm driver, you may have to wait for over a minute the first
- time you try to generate an image. Fortunately, after the warm up period
- rendering will be fast.
-
-9. Subsequently, to relaunch the script, be sure to run "conda activate
- invokeai", enter the `InvokeAI` directory, and then launch the invoke
- script. If you forget to activate the 'invokeai' environment, the script
- will fail with multiple `ModuleNotFound` errors.
-
- !!! tip
-
- Do not move the source code repository after installation. The virtual environment directory has absolute paths in it that get confused if the directory is moved.
-
----
-
-### Conda method
-
-1. Check that your system meets 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).
-
- InvokeAI does not yet support Windows machines with AMD GPUs due to the lack
- of ROCm driver support on this platform.
-
- To confirm that the appropriate drivers are installed, run `nvidia-smi` on
- NVIDIA/CUDA systems, and `rocm-smi` on AMD systems. These should return
- information about the installed video card.
-
- Macintosh users with MPS acceleration, or anybody with a CPU-only system,
- can skip this step.
-
-2. You will need to install Anaconda3 and Git if they are not already
- available. Use your operating system's preferred package manager, or
- download the installers manually. You can find them here:
-
- - [Anaconda3](https://www.anaconda.com/)
- - [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
-
-3. Clone the [InvokeAI](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI) source code from
- GitHub:
-
- ```bash
- git clone https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI.git
- ```
-
- This will create InvokeAI folder where you will follow the rest of the
- steps.
-
-4. Enter the newly-created InvokeAI folder:
-
- ```bash
- cd InvokeAI
- ```
-
- From this step forward make sure that you are working in the InvokeAI
- directory!
-
-5. Select the appropriate environment file:
-
- We have created a series of environment files suited for different operating
- systems and GPU hardware. They are located in the
- `environments-and-requirements` directory:
-
-
-
- Choose the appropriate environment file for your system and link or copy it
- to `environment.yml` in InvokeAI's top-level directory. To do so, run
- following command from the repository-root:
-
- !!! Example ""
-
- === "Macintosh and Linux"
-
- !!! todo "Replace `xxx` and `yyy` with the appropriate OS and GPU codes as seen in the table above"
-
- ```bash
- ln -sf environments-and-requirements/environment-xxx-yyy.yml environment.yml
- ```
-
- When this is done, confirm that a file `environment.yml` has been linked in
- the InvokeAI root directory and that it points to the correct file in the
- `environments-and-requirements`.
-
- ```bash
- ls -la
- ```
-
- === "Windows"
-
- !!! todo " Since it requires admin privileges to create links, we will use the copy command to create your `environment.yml`"
-
- ```cmd
- copy environments-and-requirements\environment-win-cuda.yml environment.yml
- ```
-
- Afterwards verify that the file `environment.yml` has been created, either via the
- explorer or by using the command `dir` from the terminal
-
- ```cmd
- dir
- ```
-
- !!! warning "Do not try to run conda on directly on the subdirectory environments file. This won't work. Instead, copy or link it to the top-level directory as shown."
-
-6. Create the conda environment:
-
- ```bash
- conda env update
- ```
-
- This will create a new environment named `invokeai` and install all InvokeAI
- dependencies into it. If something goes wrong you should take a look at
- [troubleshooting](#troubleshooting).
-
-7. Activate the `invokeai` environment:
-
- In order to use the newly created environment you will first need to
- activate it
-
- ```bash
- conda activate invokeai
- ```
-
- Your command-line prompt should change to indicate that `invokeai` is active
- by prepending `(invokeai)`.
-
-8. Set up the runtime directory
-
- In this step you will initialize a runtime directory that will
- contain the models, model config files, directory for textual
- inversion embeddings, and your outputs. This keeps the runtime
- directory separate from the source code and aids in updating.
-
- You may pick any location for this directory using the `--root_dir`
- option (abbreviated --root). If you don't pass this option, it will
- default to `invokeai` in your home directory.
-
- ```bash
- python scripts/configure_invokeai.py --root_dir ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- The script `configure_invokeai.py` will interactively guide you through the
- process of downloading and installing the weights files needed for InvokeAI.
- Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license
- agreement that you have to agree to. The script will list the steps you need
- to take to create an account on the site that hosts the weights files,
- accept the agreement, and provide an access token that allows InvokeAI to
- legally download and install the weights files.
-
- If you get an error message about a module not being installed, check that
- the `invokeai` environment is active and if not, repeat step 5.
-
- Note that `configure_invokeai.py` and `invoke.py` should be
- installed under your conda directory and the system should find
- them automatically on the PATH. If this isn't working on your
- system, you can call the scripts directory using `python
- scripts/configure_invoke.py` and `python scripts/invoke.py`.
-
- !!! tip
-
- If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
- Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
- prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
- process for this is described in [here](INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
-
-9. Run the command-line- or the web- interface:
-
- Activate the environment (with `source invokeai/bin/activate`), and then
- run the script `invoke.py`. If you selected a non-default location
- for the runtime directory, please specify the path with the `--root_dir`
- option (abbreviated below as `--root`):
-
- !!! example ""
-
- !!! warning "Make sure that the conda environment is activated, which should create `(invokeai)` in front of your prompt!"
-
- === "CLI"
-
- ```bash
- invoke.py --root ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- === "local Webserver"
-
- ```bash
- invoke.py --web --root ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- === "Public Webserver"
-
- ```bash
- invoke.py --web --host 0.0.0.0 --root ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
- If you choose the run the web interface, point your browser at
- http://localhost:9090 in order to load the GUI.
-
- !!! tip
-
- You can permanently set the location of the runtime directory by setting the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT to the path of your choice.
-
-10. Render away!
-
- Browse the [features](../features/CLI.md) section to learn about all the things you
- can do with InvokeAI.
-
- Note that some GPUs are slow to warm up. In particular, when using an AMD
- card with the ROCm driver, you may have to wait for over a minute the first
- time you try to generate an image. Fortunately, after the warm up period
- rendering will be fast.
-
-11. Subsequently, to relaunch the script, be sure to run "conda activate
- invokeai", enter the `InvokeAI` directory, and then launch the invoke
- script. If you forget to activate the 'invokeai' environment, the script
- will fail with multiple `ModuleNotFound` errors.
-
-## Creating an "install" version of InvokeAI
-
-If you wish you can install InvokeAI and all its dependencies in the
-runtime directory. This allows you to delete the source code
-repository and eliminates the need to provide `--root_dir` at startup
-time. Note that this method only works with the PIP method.
-
-1. Follow the instructions for the PIP install, but in step #2 put the
- virtual environment into the runtime directory. For example, assuming the
- runtime directory lives in `~/Programs/invokeai`, you'd run:
-
- ```bash
- python -menv ~/Programs/invokeai
- ```
-
-2. Now follow steps 3 to 5 in the PIP recipe, ending with the `pip install`
- step.
-
-3. Run one additional step while you are in the source code repository
- directory `pip install .` (note the dot at the end).
-
-4. That's all! Now, whenever you activate the virtual environment,
- `invoke.py` will know where to look for the runtime directory without
- needing a `--root_dir` argument. In addition, you can now move or
- delete the source code repository entirely.
-
- (Don't move the runtime directory!)
-
-## Updating to newer versions of the script
-
-This distribution is changing rapidly. If you used the `git clone` method
-(step 5) to download the InvokeAI directory, then to update to the latest and
-greatest version, launch the Anaconda window, enter `InvokeAI` and type:
-
-```bash
-git pull
-conda env update
-python scripts/configure_invokeai.py --no-interactive #optional
-```
-
-This will bring your local copy into sync with the remote one. The last step may
-be needed to take advantage of new features or released models. The
-`--no-interactive` flag will prevent the script from prompting you to download
-the big Stable Diffusion weights files.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-Here are some common issues and their suggested solutions.
-
-### Conda
-
-#### Conda fails before completing `conda update`
-
-The usual source of these errors is a package incompatibility. While we have
-tried to minimize these, over time packages get updated and sometimes introduce
-incompatibilities.
-
-We suggest that you search
-[Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) or the "bugs-and-support"
-channel of the [InvokeAI Discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy).
-
-You may also try to install the broken packages manually using PIP. To do this,
-activate the `invokeai` environment, and run `pip install` with the name and
-version of the package that is causing the incompatibility. For example:
-
-```bash
-pip install test-tube==0.7.5
-```
-
-You can keep doing this until all requirements are satisfied and the `invoke.py`
-script runs without errors. Please report to
-[Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) what you were able to do
-to work around the problem so that others can benefit from your investigation.
-
-### Create Conda Environment fails on MacOS
-
-If conda create environment fails with lmdb error, this is most likely caused by Clang.
-Run brew config to see which Clang is installed on your Mac. If Clang isn't installed, that's causing the error.
-Start by installing additional XCode command line tools, followed by brew install llvm.
-
-```bash
-xcode-select --install
-brew install llvm
-```
-
-If brew config has Clang installed, update to the latest llvm and try creating the environment again.
-
-#### `configure_invokeai.py` or `invoke.py` crashes at an early stage
-
-This is usually due to an incomplete or corrupted Conda install. Make sure you
-have linked to the correct environment file and run `conda update` again.
-
-If the problem persists, a more extreme measure is to clear Conda's caches and
-remove the `invokeai` environment:
-
-```bash
-conda deactivate
-conda env remove -n invokeai
-conda clean -a
-conda update
-```
-
-This removes all cached library files, including ones that may have been
-corrupted somehow. (This is not supposed to happen, but does anyway).
-
-#### `invoke.py` crashes at a later stage
-
-If the CLI or web site had been working ok, but something unexpected happens
-later on during the session, you've encountered a code bug that is probably
-unrelated to an install issue. Please search
-[Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues), file a bug report, or
-ask for help on [Discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy)
-
-#### My renders are running very slowly
-
-You may have installed the wrong torch (machine learning) package, and the
-system is running on CPU rather than the GPU. To check, look at the log messages
-that appear when `invoke.py` is first starting up. One of the earlier lines
-should say `Using device type cuda`. On AMD systems, it will also say "cuda",
-and on Macintoshes, it should say "mps". If instead the message says it is
-running on "cpu", then you may need to install the correct torch library.
-
-You may be able to fix this by installing a different torch library. Here are
-the magic incantations for Conda and PIP.
-
-!!! todo "For CUDA systems"
-
- - conda
-
- ```bash
- conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
- ```
-
- - pip
-
- ```bash
- pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116

-!!! todo "For AMD systems"
-
- - conda
-
