+[![github open issues badge]][github open issues link] [![github open prs badge]][github open prs link] [![translation status badge]][translation status link]
 
-1. Download and unzip the installer from the bottom of the [latest release][latest release link].
-2. Run the installer script.
-
-   - **Windows**: Double-click on the `install.bat` script.
-   - **macOS**: Open a Terminal window, drag the file `install.sh` from Finder into the Terminal, and press enter.
-   - **Linux**: Run `install.sh`.
-
-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.
-5. Run the launcher script (`invoke.bat` for Windows, `invoke.sh` for macOS and Linux) the same way you ran the installer script in step 2.
-6. Select option 1 to start the application. Once it starts up, open your browser and go to <http://localhost:9090>.
-7. Open the model manager tab to install a starter model and then you'll be ready to generate.
-
-More detail, including hardware requirements and manual install instructions, are available in the [installation documentation][installation docs].
-
-## Docker Container
-
-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.

+## Quick Start
+
+For full installation and upgrade instructions, please see:
+[InvokeAI Installation Overview](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/INSTALLATION/)
+
+If upgrading from version 2.3, please read [Migrating a 2.3 root
+directory to 3.0](#migrating-to-3) first.
+
+### Automatic Installer (suggested for 1st time users)
+
+1. Go to the bottom of the [Latest Release Page](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest)
+
+2. Download the .zip file for your OS (Windows/macOS/Linux).
+
+3. Unzip the file.
+
+4. **Windows:** double-click on the `install.bat` script. **macOS:** Open a Terminal window, drag the file `install.sh` from Finder
+into the Terminal, and press return. **Linux:** run `install.sh`.
+
+5. You'll be asked to confirm the location of the folder in which
+to install InvokeAI and its image generation model files. Pick a
+location with at least 15 GB of free memory. More if you plan on
+installing lots of models.
+
+6. Wait while the installer does its thing. After installing the software,
+the installer will launch a script that lets you configure InvokeAI and
+select a set of starting image generation models.
+
+7. Find the folder that InvokeAI was installed into (it is not the
+same as the unpacked zip file directory!) The default location of this
+folder (if you didn't change it in step 5) is `~/invokeai` on
+Linux/Mac systems, and `C:\Users\YourName\invokeai` on Windows. This directory will contain launcher scripts named `invoke.sh` and `invoke.bat`.
+
+8. On Windows systems, double-click on the `invoke.bat` file. On
+macOS, open a Terminal window, drag `invoke.sh` from the folder into
+the Terminal, and press return. On Linux, run `invoke.sh`
+
+9. Press 2 to open the "browser-based UI", press enter/return, wait a
+minute or two for Stable Diffusion to start up, then open your browser
+and go to http://localhost:9090.
+
+10. Type `banana sushi` in the box on the top left and click `Invoke`
+
+### Command-Line Installation (for developers and users familiar with Terminals)
+
+You must have Python 3.9 through 3.11 installed on your machine. Earlier or
+later versions are not supported.
+Node.js also needs to be installed along with yarn (can be installed with
+the command `npm install -g yarn` if needed)
+
+1. Open a command-line window on your machine. The PowerShell is recommended for Windows.
+2. Create a directory to install InvokeAI into. You'll need at least 15 GB of free space:
+
+    ```terminal
+    mkdir invokeai
+    ````
+
+3. Create a virtual environment named `.venv` inside this directory and activate it:
+
+    ```terminal
+    cd invokeai
+    python -m venv .venv --prompt InvokeAI
+    ```
+
+4. Activate the virtual environment (do it every time you run InvokeAI)
+
+    _For Linux/Mac users:_
+
+    ```sh
+    source .venv/bin/activate
+    ```
+
+    _For Windows users:_
+
+    ```ps
+    .venv\Scripts\activate
+    ```
+
+5. Install the InvokeAI module and its dependencies. Choose the command suited for your platform & GPU.
+
+    _For Windows/Linux with an NVIDIA GPU:_
+
+    ```terminal
+    pip install "InvokeAI[xformers]" --use-pep517 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+    ```
+
+    _For Linux with an AMD GPU:_
+
+    ```sh
+    pip install InvokeAI --use-pep517 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2
+    ```
+
+    _For non-GPU systems:_
+    ```terminal
+    pip install InvokeAI --use-pep517 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
+    ``` 
+
+    _For Macintoshes, either Intel or M1/M2:_
+
+    ```sh
+    pip install InvokeAI --use-pep517
+    ```
+
+6. Configure InvokeAI and install a starting set of image generation models (you only need to do this once):
+
+    ```terminal
+    invokeai-configure --root .
+    ```
+	Don't miss the dot at the end!
+
+7. Launch the web server (do it every time you run InvokeAI):
+
+    ```terminal
+    invokeai-web
+    ```
+
+8. Point your browser to http://localhost:9090 to bring up the web interface.
+
+9. Type `banana sushi` in the box on the top left and click `Invoke`.
+
+Be sure to activate the virtual environment each time before re-launching InvokeAI,
+using `source .venv/bin/activate` or `.venv\Scripts\activate`.
+
+## Detailed Installation Instructions
+
+This fork is supported across Linux, Windows and Macintosh. Linux
+users can use either an Nvidia-based card (with CUDA support) or an
+AMD card (using the ROCm driver). For full installation and upgrade
+instructions, please see:
+[InvokeAI Installation Overview](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/INSTALL_SOURCE/)
+
+<a name="migrating-to-3"></a>
+### Migrating a v2.3 InvokeAI root directory
+
+The InvokeAI root directory is where the InvokeAI startup file,
+installed models, and generated images are stored. It is ordinarily
+named `invokeai` and located in your home directory. The contents and
+layout of this directory has changed between versions 2.3 and 3.0 and
+cannot be used directly.
+
+We currently recommend that you use the installer to create a new root
+directory named differently from the 2.3 one, e.g. `invokeai-3` and
+then use a migration script to copy your 2.3 models into the new
+location. However, if you choose, you can upgrade this directory in
+place.  This section gives both recipes.
+
+#### Creating a new root directory and migrating old models
+
+This is the safer recipe because it leaves your old root directory in
+place to fall back on.
+
+1. Follow the instructions above to create and install InvokeAI in a
+directory that has a different name from the 2.3 invokeai directory.
+In this example, we will use "invokeai-3"
+
+2. When you are prompted to select models to install, select a minimal
+set of models, such as stable-diffusion-v1.5 only.
+
+3. After installation is complete launch `invokeai.sh` (Linux/Mac) or
+`invokeai.bat` and select option 8 "Open the developers console". This
+will take you to the command line.
+
+4. Issue the command `invokeai-migrate3 --from /path/to/v2.3-root --to
+/path/to/invokeai-3-root`. Provide the correct `--from` and `--to`
+paths for your v2.3 and v3.0 root directories respectively.
+
+This will copy and convert your old models from 2.3 format to 3.0
+format and create a new `models` directory in the 3.0 directory. The
+old models directory (which contains the models selected at install
+time) will be renamed `models.orig` and can be deleted once you have
+confirmed that the migration was successful.
+
+ If you wish, you can pass the 2.3 root directory to both `--from` and
+`--to` in order to update in place. Warning: this directory will no
+longer be usable with InvokeAI 2.3.
+
+#### Migrating in place
+
+For the adventurous, you may do an in-place upgrade from 2.3 to 3.0
+without touching the command line. ***This recipe does not work on
+Windows platforms due to a bug in the Windows version of the 2.3
+upgrade script.** See the next section for a Windows recipe.
+
+##### For Mac and Linux Users:
+
+1. Launch the InvokeAI launcher script in your current v2.3 root directory.
+
+2. Select option [9] "Update InvokeAI" to bring up the updater dialog.
+
+3. Select option [1] to upgrade to the latest release.
+
+4. Once the upgrade is finished you will be returned to the launcher
+menu. Select option [7] "Re-run the configure script to fix a broken
+install or to complete a major upgrade".
+
+This will run the configure script against the v2.3 directory and
+update it to the 3.0 format. The following files will be replaced:
+
+  - The invokeai.init file, replaced by invokeai.yaml
+  - The models directory
+  - The configs/models.yaml model index
+  
+The original versions of these files will be saved with the suffix
+".orig" appended to the end. Once you have confirmed that the upgrade
+worked, you can safely remove these files. Alternatively you can
+restore a working v2.3 directory by removing the new files and
+restoring the ".orig" files' original names.
+
+##### For Windows Users:
+
+Windows Users can upgrade with the
+
+1. Enter the 2.3 root directory you wish to upgrade
+2. Launch `invoke.sh` or `invoke.bat`
+3. Select the "Developer's console" option [8]
+4. Type the following commands
+
+```
+pip install "invokeai @ https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/archive/refs/tags/v3.0.0" --use-pep517 --upgrade
+invokeai-configure --root .
+```
+(Replace `v3.0.0` with the current release number if this document is out of date).
+
+The first command will install and upgrade new software to run
+InvokeAI. The second will prepare the 2.3 directory for use with 3.0.
+You may now launch the WebUI in the usual way, by selecting option [1]
+from the launcher script
+
+#### Migrating Images
+
+The migration script will migrate your invokeai settings and models,
+including textual inversion models, LoRAs and merges that you may have
+installed previously. However it does **not** migrate the generated
+images stored in your 2.3-format outputs directory. To do this, you 
+need to run an additional step:
+
+1. From a working InvokeAI 3.0 root directory, start the launcher and
+enter menu option [8] to open the "developer's console".
+
+2. At the developer's console command line, type the command:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-import-images
+```
+
+3. This will lead you through the process of confirming the desired
+   source and destination for the imported images. The images will
+   appear in the gallery board of your choice, and contain the
+   original prompt, model name, and other parameters used to generate
+   the image.
+

+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+InvokeAI is supported across Linux, Windows and macOS. Linux
+users can use either an Nvidia-based card (with CUDA support) or an
+AMD card (using the ROCm driver).
+
+### System
+
+You will need one of the following:
+
+- An NVIDIA-based graphics card with 4 GB or more VRAM memory. 6-8 GB
+  of VRAM is highly recommended for rendering using the Stable
+  Diffusion XL models
+- An Apple computer with an M1 chip.
+- An AMD-based graphics card with 4GB or more VRAM memory (Linux
+  only), 6-8 GB for XL rendering.
+
+We do not recommend the GTX 1650 or 1660 series video cards. They are
+unable to run in half-precision mode and do not have sufficient VRAM
+to render 512x512 images.
+
+**Memory** - At least 12 GB Main Memory RAM.
+
+**Disk** - At least 12 GB of free disk space for the machine learning model, Python, and all its dependencies.
+
+## Features
+
+Feature documentation can be reviewed by navigating to [the InvokeAI Documentation page](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/features/)
+
+### *Web Server & UI*

-# Invoke in Docker
+# InvokeAI Containerized
 
-First things first:
-
-- Ensure that Docker can use your [NVIDIA][nvidia docker docs] or [AMD][amd docker docs] GPU.
-- This document assumes a Linux system, but should work similarly under Windows with WSL2.
-- We don't recommend running Invoke in Docker on macOS at this time. It works, but very slowly.
-
-## Quickstart
-
-No `docker compose`, no persistence, single command, using the official images:
-
-**CUDA (NVIDIA GPU):**
-
-```bash
-docker run --runtime=nvidia --gpus=all --publish 9090:9090 ghcr.io/invoke-ai/invokeai
-```
-
-**ROCm (AMD GPU):**
-
-```bash
-docker run --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri --publish 9090:9090 ghcr.io/invoke-ai/invokeai:main-rocm
-```
-
-Open `http://localhost:9090` in your browser once the container finishes booting, install some models, and generate away!
-
-### Data persistence
-
-To persist your generated images and downloaded models outside of the container, add a `--volume/-v` flag to the above command, e.g.:
-
-```bash
-docker run --volume /some/local/path:/invokeai {...etc...}
-```
-
-`/some/local/path/invokeai` will contain all your data.
-It can *usually* be reused between different installs of Invoke. Tread with caution and read the release notes!
-
-## Customize the container
-
-The included `run.sh` script is a convenience wrapper around `docker compose`. It can be helpful for passing additional build arguments to `docker compose`. Alternatively, the familiar `docker compose` commands work just as well.
-
-```bash
-cd docker
-cp .env.sample .env
-# edit .env to your liking if you need to; it is well commented.
-./run.sh
-```
-
-It will take a few minutes to build the image the first time. Once the application starts up, open `http://localhost:9090` in your browser to invoke!
-
->[!TIP]
->When using the `run.sh` script, the container will continue running after Ctrl+C. To shut it down, use the `docker compose down` command.
-
-## Docker setup in detail
+All commands are to be run from the `docker` directory: `cd docker`
 
 #### Linux
 
-1. Ensure buildkit is enabled in the Docker daemon settings (`/etc/docker/daemon.json`)
-2. Install the `docker compose` plugin using your package manager, or follow a [tutorial](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/#install-using-the-repository).
-    - The deprecated `docker-compose` (hyphenated) CLI probably won't work. Update to a recent version.

+    - You may need to install [nvidia-container-toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html)
 
 #### macOS
 
-> [!TIP]
-> You'll be better off installing Invoke directly on your system, because Docker can not use the GPU on macOS.
-
-If you are still reading:
-
 1. Ensure Docker has at least 16GB RAM
 2. Enable VirtioFS for file sharing
 3. Enable `docker compose` V2 support

-# Release Process
-
-The app is published in twice, in different build formats.
-
-- A [PyPI] distribution. This includes both a source distribution and built distribution (a wheel). Users install with `pip install invokeai`. The updater uses this build.
-- An installer on the [InvokeAI Releases Page]. This is a zip file with install scripts and a wheel. This is only used for new installs.
-
-## General Prep
-
-Make a developer call-out for PRs to merge. Merge and test things out.
-
-While the release workflow does not include end-to-end tests, it does pause before publishing so you can download and test the final build.
-
-## Release Workflow
-
-The `release.yml` workflow runs a number of jobs to handle code checks, tests, build and publish on PyPI.
-
-It is triggered on **tag push**, when the tag matches `v*`. It doesn't matter if you've prepped a release branch like `release/v3.5.0` or are releasing from `main` - it works the same.
-
-> Because commits are reference-counted, it is safe to create a release branch, tag it, let the workflow run, then delete the branch. So long as the tag exists, that commit will exist.
-
-### Triggering the Workflow
-
-Run `make tag-release` to tag the current commit and kick off the workflow.
-
-The release may also be dispatched [manually].
-
-### Workflow Jobs and Process
-
-The workflow consists of a number of concurrently-run jobs, and two final publish jobs.
-
-The publish jobs require manual approval and are only run if the other jobs succeed.
-
-#### `check-version` Job
-
-This job checks that the git ref matches the app version. It matches the ref against the `__version__` variable in `invokeai/version/invokeai_version.py`.
-
-When the workflow is triggered by tag push, the ref is the tag. If the workflow is run manually, the ref is the target selected from the **Use workflow from** dropdown.
-
-This job uses [samuelcolvin/check-python-version].
-
-> Any valid [version specifier] works, so long as the tag matches the version. The release workflow works exactly the same for `RC`, `post`, `dev`, etc.
-
-#### Check and Test Jobs
-
-- **`python-tests`**: runs `pytest` on matrix of platforms
-- **`python-checks`**: runs `ruff` (format and lint)
-- **`frontend-tests`**: runs `vitest`
-- **`frontend-checks`**: runs `prettier` (format), `eslint` (lint), `dpdm` (circular refs), `tsc` (static type check) and `knip` (unused imports)
-
-> **TODO** We should add `mypy` or `pyright` to the **`check-python`** job.
-
-> **TODO** We should add an end-to-end test job that generates an image.
-
-#### `build-installer` Job
-
-This sets up both python and frontend dependencies and builds the python package. Internally, this runs `installer/create_installer.sh` and uploads two artifacts:
-
-- **`dist`**: the python distribution, to be published on PyPI
-- **`InvokeAI-installer-${VERSION}.zip`**: the installer to be included in the GitHub release
-
-#### Sanity Check & Smoke Test
-
-At this point, the release workflow pauses as the remaining publish jobs require approval. Time to test the installer.
-
-Because the installer pulls from PyPI, and we haven't published to PyPI yet, you will need to install from the wheel:
-
-- Download and unzip `dist.zip` and the installer from the **Summary** tab of the workflow
-- Run the installer script using the `--wheel` CLI arg, pointing at the wheel:
-
-  ```sh
-  ./install.sh --wheel ../InvokeAI-4.0.0rc6-py3-none-any.whl
-  ```
-
-- Install to a temporary directory so you get the new user experience
-- Download a model and generate
-
-> The same wheel file is bundled in the installer and in the `dist` artifact, which is uploaded to PyPI. You should end up with the exactly the same installation as if the installer got the wheel from PyPI.
-
-##### Something isn't right
-
-If testing reveals any issues, no worries. Cancel the workflow, which will cancel the pending publish jobs (you didn't approve them prematurely, right?).
-
-Now you can start from the top:
-
-- Fix the issues and PR the fixes per usual
-- Get the PR approved and merged per usual
-- Switch to `main` and pull in the fixes
-- Run `make tag-release` to move the tag to `HEAD` (which has the fixes) and kick off the release workflow again
-- Re-do the sanity check
-
-#### PyPI Publish Jobs
-
-The publish jobs will run if any of the previous jobs fail.
-
-They use [GitHub environments], which are configured as [trusted publishers] on PyPI.
-
-Both jobs require a maintainer to approve them from the workflow's **Summary** tab.
-
-- Click the **Review deployments** button
-- Select the environment (either `testpypi` or `pypi`)
-- Click **Approve and deploy**
-
-> **If the version already exists on PyPI, the publish jobs will fail.** PyPI only allows a given version to be published once - you cannot change it. If version published on PyPI has a problem, you'll need to "fail forward" by bumping the app version and publishing a followup release.
-
-##### Failing PyPI Publish
-
-Check the [python infrastructure status page] for incidents.
-
-If there are no incidents, contact @hipsterusername or @lstein, who have owner access to GH and PyPI, to see if access has expired or something like that.
-
-#### `publish-testpypi` Job
-
-Publishes the distribution on the [Test PyPI] index, using the `testpypi` GitHub environment.
-
-This job is not required for the production PyPI publish, but included just in case you want to test the PyPI release.
-
-If approved and successful, you could try out the test release like this:
-
-```sh
-# Create a new virtual environment
-python -m venv ~/.test-invokeai-dist --prompt test-invokeai-dist
-# Install the distribution from Test PyPI
-pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ invokeai
-# Run and test the app
-invokeai-web
-# Cleanup
-deactivate
-rm -rf ~/.test-invokeai-dist
-```
-
-#### `publish-pypi` Job
-
-Publishes the distribution on the production PyPI index, using the `pypi` GitHub environment.
-
-## Publish the GitHub Release with installer
-
-Once the release is published to PyPI, it's time to publish the GitHub release.
-
-1. [Draft a new release] on GitHub, choosing the tag that triggered the release.
-1. Write the release notes, describing important changes. The **Generate release notes** button automatically inserts the changelog and new contributors, and you can copy/paste the intro from previous releases.
-1. Use `scripts/get_external_contributions.py` to get a list of external contributions to shout out in the release notes.
-1. Upload the zip file created in **`build`** job into the Assets section of the release notes.
-1. Check **Set as a pre-release** if it's a pre-release.
-1. Check **Create a discussion for this release**.
-1. Publish the release.
-1. Announce the release in Discord.
-
-> **TODO** Workflows can create a GitHub release from a template and upload release assets. One popular action to handle this is [ncipollo/release-action]. A future enhancement to the release process could set this up.
-
-## Manual Build
-
-The `build installer` workflow can be dispatched manually. This is useful to test the installer for a given branch or tag.
-
-No checks are run, it just builds.
-
-## Manual Release
-
-The `release` workflow can be dispatched manually. You must dispatch the workflow from the right tag, else it will fail the version check.
-
-This functionality is available as a fallback in case something goes wonky. Typically, releases should be triggered via tag push as described above.

-
-##  The API
-
-The default download queue is `DownloadQueueService`, an
-implementation of ABC `DownloadQueueServiceBase`. It juggles multiple
-background download requests and provides facilities for interrogating
-and cancelling the requests. Access to a current or past download task
-is mediated via `DownloadJob` objects which report the current status
-of a job request
-
-### The Queue Object
-
-A default download queue is located in
-`ApiDependencies.invoker.services.download_queue`. However, you can
-create additional instances if you need to isolate your queue from the
-main one.
-
-```
-queue = DownloadQueueService(event_bus=events)
-```
-
-`DownloadQueueService()` takes three optional arguments:
-
-| **Argument** | **Type**          |  **Default**  | **Description** |
-|----------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|
-| `max_parallel_dl`  | int                         | 5    | Maximum number of simultaneous downloads allowed |
-| `event_bus` | EventServiceBase   | None | System-wide FastAPI event bus for reporting download events |
-| `requests_session` | requests.sessions.Session   | None | An alternative requests Session object to use for the download |
-
-`max_parallel_dl` specifies how many download jobs are allowed to run
-simultaneously. Each will run in a different thread of execution.
-
-`event_bus` is an EventServiceBase, typically the one created at
-InvokeAI startup. If present, download events are periodically emitted
-on this bus to allow clients to follow download progress.
-
-`requests_session` is a url library requests Session object. It is
-used for testing.
-
-### The Job object
-
-The queue operates on a series of download job objects. These objects
-specify the source and destination of the download, and keep track of
-the progress of the download.
-
-Two job types are defined. `DownloadJob` and
-`MultiFileDownloadJob`. The former is a pydantic object with the
-following fields:
-
-| **Field**      | **Type**        |  **Default**  | **Description** |
-|----------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|
-| _Fields passed in at job creation time_                               |
-| `source`         | AnyHttpUrl      |               | Where to download from |
-| `dest`           | Path            |               | Where to download to              |
-| `access_token`   | str             |               | [optional] string containing authentication token for access |
-| `on_start`       | Callable        |               | [optional] callback when the download starts |
-| `on_progress` | Callable | | [optional] callback called at intervals during download progress |
-| `on_complete`    | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called after successful download completion |
-| `on_error`       | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called after an error occurs  |
-| `id`             | int             | auto assigned | Job ID, an integer >= 0           |
-| `priority`       | int             | 10            | Job priority. Lower priorities run before higher priorities |
-|                                                                                                        |
-| _Fields updated over the course of the download task_
-| `status`         | DownloadJobStatus|              | Status code                                |
-| `download_path`  | Path |              | Path to the location of the downloaded file |
-| `job_started`    | float            |              | Timestamp for when the job started running |
-| `job_ended`      | float            |              | Timestamp for when the job completed or errored out |
-| `job_sequence`   | int              |              | A counter that is incremented each time a model is dequeued |
-| `bytes`          | int              | 0            | Bytes downloaded so far   |

-
-When you create a job, you can assign it a `priority`. If multiple
-jobs are queued, the job with the lowest priority runs first.
-
-Every job has a `source` and a `dest`. `source` is a pydantic.networks AnyHttpUrl object.
-The `dest` is a path on the local filesystem that specifies the
-destination for the downloaded object. Its semantics are
-described below.
-
-When the job is submitted, it is assigned a numeric `id`. The id can
-then be used to fetch the job object from the queue.
-
-The `status` field is updated by the queue to indicate where the job
-is in its lifecycle. Values are defined in the string enum
-`DownloadJobStatus`, a symbol available from
-`invokeai.app.services.download_manager`. Possible values are:
-
-| **Value**    |   **String Value**  | ** Description ** |
-|--------------|---------------------|-------------------|
-| `WAITING`      | waiting           | Job is on the queue but not yet running|
-| `RUNNING`      | running           | The download is started                |
-| `COMPLETED`    | completed         | Job has finished its work without an error |
-| `ERROR`        | error             | Job encountered an error and will not run again|
-
-`job_started` and `job_ended` indicate when the job
-was started (using a python timestamp) and when it completed.
-
-In case of an error, the job's status will be set to `DownloadJobStatus.ERROR`, the text of the
-Exception that caused the error will be placed in the `error_type`
-field and the traceback that led to the error will be in `error`.
-
-A cancelled job will have status `DownloadJobStatus.ERROR` and an
-`error_type` field of "DownloadJobCancelledException". In addition,
-the job's `cancelled` property will be set to True.
-
-The `MultiFileDownloadJob` is used for diffusers model downloads,
-which contain multiple files and directories under a common root:

-| `cancelled`      | bool             | False        | Set to true if the job was cancelled by the caller|
-
-Note that the MultiFileDownloadJob does not support the `priority`,
-`job_started`, `job_ended` or `content_type` attributes. You can get
-these from the individual download jobs in `download_parts`.
-
-
-### Callbacks
-
-Download jobs can be associated with a series of callbacks, each with
-the signature `Callable[["DownloadJob"], None]`. The callbacks are assigned
-using optional arguments `on_start`, `on_progress`, `on_complete` and
-`on_error`. When the corresponding event occurs, the callback wil be
-invoked and passed the job. The callback will be run in a `try:`
-context in the same thread as the download job. Any exceptions that
-occur during execution of the callback will be caught and converted
-into a log error message, thereby allowing the download to continue.
-
-#### `TqdmProgress`
-
-The `invokeai.app.services.download.download_default` module defines a
-class named `TqdmProgress` which can be used as an `on_progress`
-handler to display a completion bar in the console. Use as follows:
-
-```
-from invokeai.app.services.download import TqdmProgress
-
-download_queue.download(source='http://some.server.somewhere/some_file',
-                        dest='/tmp/downloads',
-                        on_progress=TqdmProgress().update
-                        )
-
-```
-
-### Events
-
-If the queue was initialized with the InvokeAI event bus (the case
-when using `ApiDependencies.invoker.services.download_queue`), then
-download events will also be issued on the bus. The events are:
-
-* `download_started` -- This is issued when a job is taken off the
-queue and a request is made to the remote server for the URL headers, but before any data
-has been downloaded. The event payload will contain the keys `source`
-and `download_path`. The latter contains the path that the URL will be
-downloaded to.
-
-* `download_progress -- This is issued periodically as the download
-runs. The payload contains the keys `source`, `download_path`,
-`current_bytes` and `total_bytes`. The latter two fields can be
-used to display the percent complete.
-
-* `download_complete` -- This is issued when the download completes
-successfully. The payload contains the keys `source`, `download_path`
-and `total_bytes`.
-
-* `download_error` -- This is issued when the download stops because
-of an error condition. The payload contains the fields `error_type`
-and `error`. The former is the text representation of the exception,
-and the latter is a traceback showing where the error occurred.
-
-### Job control
-
-To create a job call the queue's `download()` method. You can list all
-jobs using `list_jobs()`, fetch a single job by its with
-`id_to_job()`, cancel a running job with `cancel_job()`, cancel all
-running jobs with `cancel_all_jobs()`, and wait for all jobs to finish
-with `join()`.
-
-#### job = queue.download(source, dest, priority, access_token, on_start, on_progress, on_complete, on_cancelled, on_error)
-
-Create a new download job and put it on the queue, returning the
-DownloadJob object.
-
-#### multifile_job = queue.multifile_download(parts, dest, access_token, on_start, on_progress, on_complete, on_cancelled, on_error)
-
-This is similar to download(), but instead of taking a single source,
-it accepts a `parts` argument consisting of a list of
-`RemoteModelFile` objects. Each part corresponds to a URL/Path pair,
-where the URL is the location of the remote file, and the Path is the
-destination.
-
-`RemoteModelFile` can be imported from `invokeai.backend.model_manager.metadata`, and
-consists of a url/path pair. Note that the path *must* be relative.
-
-The method returns a `MultiFileDownloadJob`.
-
-
-```
-from invokeai.backend.model_manager.metadata import RemoteModelFile
-remote_file_1 = RemoteModelFile(url='http://www.foo.bar/my/pytorch_model.safetensors'',
-                                path='my_model/textencoder/pytorch_model.safetensors'

-remote_file_2 = RemoteModelFile(url='http://www.bar.baz/vae.ckpt',
-                                path='my_model/vae/diffusers_model.safetensors'
-			 			  )
-job = queue.multifile_download(parts=[remote_file_1, remote_file_2],
-                               dest='/tmp/downloads',
-                               on_progress=TqdmProgress().update)
-queue.wait_for_job(job)
-print(f"The files were downloaded to {job.download_path}")
-```
-
-#### jobs = queue.list_jobs()
-
-Return a list of all active and inactive `DownloadJob`s.
-
-#### job = queue.id_to_job(id)
-
-Return the job corresponding to given ID.
-
-Return a list of all active and inactive `DownloadJob`s.
-
-#### queue.prune_jobs()
-
-Remove inactive (complete or errored) jobs from the listing returned
-by `list_jobs()`.
-
-#### queue.join()
-
-Block until all pending jobs have run to completion or errored out.

-Custom fields only support connection inputs in the Workflow Editor.

+you don't have to worry about creating anything new. But this might not always
+be the case. Sometimes you might want to create new field types and have the

-We use python's typing system in InvokeAI. PR reviews will include checking that types are present and correct. We don't enforce types with `mypy` at this time, but that is on the horizon.
-
-Using a code analysis tool to automatically type check your code (and types) is very important when writing with types. These tools provide immediate feedback in your editor when types are incorrect, and following their suggestions lead to fewer runtime bugs.

-Pylance, installed at the beginning of this guide, is the de-facto python LSP (language server protocol). It provides type checking in the editor (among many other features). Once installed, you do need to enable type checking manually:

-- Open a python file
-- Look along the status bar in VSCode for `{ } Python`
-- Click the `{ }`
-- Turn type checking on - basic is fine
-
-You'll now see red squiggly lines where type issues are detected. Hover your cursor over the indicated symbols to see what's wrong.

-# InvokeAI Backend Tests

-We use `pytest` to run the backend python tests. (See [pyproject.toml](/pyproject.toml) for the default `pytest` options.)
-
-## Fast vs. Slow
-All tests are categorized as either 'fast' (no test annotation) or 'slow' (annotated with the `@pytest.mark.slow` decorator).
-
-'Fast' tests are run to validate every PR, and are fast enough that they can be run routinely during development.
-
-'Slow' tests are currently only run manually on an ad-hoc basis. In the future, they may be automated to run nightly. Most developers are only expected to run the 'slow' tests that directly relate to the feature(s) that they are working on.
-
-As a rule of thumb, tests should be marked as 'slow' if there is a chance that they take >1s (e.g. on a CPU-only machine with slow internet connection). Common examples of slow tests are tests that depend on downloading a model, or running model inference.
-
-## Running Tests
-
-Below are some common test commands:
-```bash
-# Run the fast tests. (This implicitly uses the configured default option: `-m "not slow"`.)

-2. If a model is already downloaded, it should not be re-downloaded unnecessarily.
-3. Take reasonable care to keep the total number of models required for the tests low. Whenever possible, re-use models that are already required for other tests. If you are adding a new model, consider including a comment to explain why it is required/unique.
-
-There are several utilities to help with model setup for tests. Here is a sample test that depends on a model:
-```python
-import pytest
-import torch
-
-from invokeai.backend.model_management.models.base import BaseModelType, ModelType
-from invokeai.backend.util.test_utils import install_and_load_model
-
-@pytest.mark.slow
-def test_model(model_installer, torch_device):
-    model_info = install_and_load_model(
-        model_installer=model_installer,
-        model_path_id_or_url="HF/dummy_model_id",
-        model_name="dummy_model",
-        base_model=BaseModelType.StableDiffusion1,
-        model_type=ModelType.Dummy,
-    )
-
-    dummy_input = build_dummy_input(torch_device)
-
-    with torch.no_grad(), model_info as model:
-        model.to(torch_device, dtype=torch.float32)
-        output = model(dummy_input)
-
-    # Validate output...
-
-```
-
-## Test Coverage
-
-To review test coverage, append `--cov` to your pytest command:
-```bash
-pytest tests/ --cov
-```
-
-Test outcomes and coverage will be reported in the terminal. In addition, a more detailed report is created in both XML and HTML format in the `./coverage` folder. The HTML output is particularly helpful in identifying untested statements where coverage should be improved. The HTML report can be viewed by opening `./coverage/html/index.html`.

+The UI is a fairly straightforward Typescript React app, with the Unified Canvas being more complex.
+
+Code is located in `invokeai/frontend/web/` for review.
+
+## Stack
+
+State management is Redux via [Redux Toolkit](https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit). We lean heavily on RTK:
+
+- `createAsyncThunk` for HTTP requests
+- `createEntityAdapter` for fetching images and models
+- `createListenerMiddleware` for workflows
+
+The API client and associated types are generated from the OpenAPI schema. See API_CLIENT.md.
+
+Communication with server is a mix of HTTP and [socket.io](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client) (with a simple socket.io redux middleware to help).
+
+[Chakra-UI](https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui) & [Mantine](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine) for components and styling.
+
+[Konva](https://github.com/konvajs/react-konva) for the canvas, but we are pushing the limits of what is feasible with it (and HTML canvas in general). We plan to rebuild it with [PixiJS](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs) to take advantage of WebGL's improved raster handling.
+
+[Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) for bundling.
+
+Localisation is via [i18next](https://github.com/i18next/react-i18next), but translation happens on our [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/invokeai/) project. Only the English source strings should be changed on this repo.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Thanks for your interest in contributing to the InvokeAI Web UI!
+
+We encourage you to ping @psychedelicious and @blessedcoolant on [Discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy) if you want to contribute, just to touch base and ensure your work doesn't conflict with anything else going on. The project is very active.

+
+1. Install [node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). You can confirm node is installed with:
+```bash
+node --version
+```
+2. Install [yarn classic](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/) and confirm it is installed by running this:
+```bash
+npm install --global yarn
+yarn --version
+```
+
+From `invokeai/frontend/web/` run `yarn install` to get everything set up.
+
+Start everything in dev mode:
+1. Ensure your virtual environment is running
+2. Start the dev server: `yarn dev`
+3. Start the InvokeAI Nodes backend: `python scripts/invokeai-web.py # run from the repo root`
+4. Point your browser to the dev server address e.g. [http://localhost:5173/](http://localhost:5173/)
+
+### VSCode Remote Dev
+
+We've noticed an intermittent issue with the VSCode Remote Dev port forwarding. If you use this feature of VSCode, you may intermittently click the Invoke button and then get nothing until the request times out. Suggest disabling the IDE's port forwarding feature and doing it manually via SSH:
+
+`ssh -L 9090:localhost:9090 -L 5173:localhost:5173 user@host`
+
+### Production builds
+
+For a number of technical and logistical reasons, we need to commit UI build artefacts to the repo.
+
+If you submit a PR, there is a good chance we will ask you to include a separate commit with a build of the app.
+
+To build for production, run `yarn build`.

-
-## Contributing Guidelines
-
-Thanks for your interest in contributing to the Invoke Web UI!
-
-Please follow these guidelines when contributing.
-
-### Check in before investing your time
-
-Please check in before you invest your time on anything besides a trivial fix, in case it conflicts with ongoing work or isn't aligned with the vision for the app.
-
-If a feature request or issue doesn't already exist for the thing you want to work on, please create one.
-
-Ping `@psychedelicious` on [discord] in the `#frontend-dev` channel or in the feature request / issue you want to work on - we're happy to chat.
-
-### Code conventions
-
-- This is a fairly complex app with a deep component tree. Please use memoization (`useCallback`, `useMemo`, `memo`) with enthusiasm.
-- If you need to add some global, ephemeral state, please use [nanostores] if possible.
-- Be careful with your redux selectors. If they need to be parameterized, consider creating them inside a `useMemo`.
-- Feel free to use `lodash` (via `lodash-es`) to make the intent of your code clear.
-- Please add comments describing the "why", not the "how" (unless it is really arcane).
-
-### Commit format
-
-Please use the [conventional commits] spec for the web UI, with a scope of "ui":
-
-- `chore(ui): bump deps`
-- `chore(ui): lint`
-- `feat(ui): add some cool new feature`
-- `fix(ui): fix some bug`
-
-### Submitting a PR
-
-- Ensure your branch is tidy. Use an interactive rebase to clean up the commit history and reword the commit messages if they are not descriptive.
-- Run `pnpm lint`. Some issues are auto-fixable with `pnpm fix`.
-- Fill out the PR form when creating the PR.
-  - It doesn't need to be super detailed, but a screenshot or video is nice if you changed something visually.
-  - If a section isn't relevant, delete it. There are no UI tests at this time.

-# State Management
-
-The app makes heavy use of Redux Toolkit, its Query library, and `nanostores`.
-
-## Redux
-
-TODO
-
-## `nanostores`
-
-[nanostores] is a tiny state management library. It provides both imperative and declarative APIs.
-
-### Example
-
-```ts
-export const $myStringOption = atom<string | null>(null);
-
-// Outside a component, or within a callback for performance-critical logic
-$myStringOption.get();
-$myStringOption.set('new value');
-
-// Inside a component
-const myStringOption = useStore($myStringOption);
-```
-
-### Where to put nanostores
-
-- For global application state, export your stores from `invokeai/frontend/web/src/app/store/nanostores/`.
-- For feature state, create a file for the stores next to the redux slice definition (e.g. `invokeai/frontend/web/src/features/myFeature/myFeatureNanostores.ts`).
-- For hooks with global state, export the store from the same file the hook is in, or put it next to the hook.
-
-### When to use nanostores
-
-- For non-serializable data that needs to be available throughout the app, use `nanostores` instead of a global.
-- For ephemeral global state (i.e. state that does not need to be persisted), use `nanostores` instead of redux.
-- For performance-critical code and in callbacks, redux selectors can be problematic due to the declarative reactivity system. Consider refactoring to use `nanostores` if there's a **measurable** performance issue.

-# Workflows - Design and Implementation
-
-> This document describes, at a high level, the design and implementation of workflows in the InvokeAI frontend. There are a substantial number of implementation details not included, but which are hopefully clear from the code.
-
-InvokeAI's backend uses graphs, composed of **nodes** and **edges**, to process data and generate images.
-
-Nodes have any number of **input fields** and **output fields**. Edges connect nodes together via their inputs and outputs. Fields have data types which dictate how they may be connected.
-
-During execution, a nodes' outputs may be passed along to any number of other nodes' inputs.
-
-Workflows are an enriched abstraction over a graph.
-
-## Design
-
-InvokeAI provide two ways to build graphs in the frontend: the [Linear UI](#linear-ui) and [Workflow Editor](#workflow-editor).
-
-To better understand the use case and challenges related to workflows, we will review both of these modes.
-
-### Linear UI
-
-This includes the **Text to Image**, **Image to Image** and **Unified Canvas** tabs.
-
-The user-managed parameters on these tabs are stored as simple objects in the application state. When the user invokes, adding a generation to the queue, we internally build a graph from these parameters.
-
-This logic can be fairly complex due to the range of features available and their interactions. Depending on the parameters selected, the graph may be very different. Building graphs in code can be challenging - you are trying to construct a non-linear structure in a linear context.
-
-The simplest graph building logic is for **Text to Image** with a SD1.5 model: [buildLinearTextToImageGraph.ts]
-
-There are many other graph builders in the same directory for different tabs or base models (e.g. SDXL). Some are pretty hairy.
-
-In the Linear UI, we go straight from **simple application state** to **graph** via these builders.
-
-### Workflow Editor
-
-The Workflow Editor is a visual graph editor, allowing users to draw edges from node to node to construct a graph. This _far_ more approachable way to create complex graphs.
-
-InvokeAI uses the [reactflow] library to power the Workflow Editor. It provides both a graph editor UI and manages its own internal graph state.
-
-#### Workflows
-
-A workflow is a representation of a graph plus additional metadata:
-
-- Name
-- Description
-- Version
-- Notes
-- [Exposed fields](#workflow-linear-view)
-- Author, tags, category, etc.
-
-Workflows should have other qualities:
-
-- Portable: you should be able to load a workflow created by another person.
-- Resilient: you should be able to "upgrade" a workflow as the application changes.
-- Abstract: as much as is possible, workflows should not be married to the specific implementation details of the application.
-
-To support these qualities, workflows are serializable, have a versioned schemas, and represent graphs as minimally as possible. Fortunately, the reactflow state for nodes and edges works perfectly for this.
-
-##### Workflow -> reactflow state -> InvokeAI graph
-
-Given a workflow, we need to be able to derive reactflow state and/or an InvokeAI graph from it.
-
-The first step - workflow to reactflow state - is very simple. The logic is in [nodesSlice.ts], in the `workflowLoaded` reducer.
-
-The reactflow state is, however, structurally incompatible with our backend's graph structure. When a user invokes on a Workflow, we need to convert the reactflow state into an InvokeAI graph. This is far simpler than the graph building logic from the Linear UI:
-[buildNodesGraph.ts]
-
-##### Nodes vs Invocations
-
-We often use the terms "node" and "invocation" interchangeably, but they may refer to different things in the frontend.
-
-reactflow [has its own definitions][reactflow-concepts] of "node", "edge" and "handle" which are closely related to InvokeAI graph concepts.
-
-- A reactflow node is related to an InvokeAI invocation. It has a "data" property, which holds the InvokeAI-specific invocation data.
-- A reactflow edge is roughly equivalent to an InvokeAI edge.
-- A reactflow handle is roughly equivalent to an InvokeAI input or output field.
-
-##### Workflow Linear View
-
-Graphs are very capable data structures, but not everyone wants to work with them all the time.
-
-To allow less technical users - or anyone who wants a less visually noisy workspace - to benefit from the power of nodes, InvokeAI has a workflow feature called the Linear View.
-
-A workflow input field can be added to this Linear View, and its input component can be presented similarly to the Linear UI tabs. Internally, we add the field to the workflow's list of exposed fields.
-
-#### OpenAPI Schema
-
-OpenAPI is a schema specification that can represent complex data structures and relationships. The backend is capable of generating an OpenAPI schema for all invocations.
-
-When the UI connects, it requests this schema and parses each invocation into an **invocation template**. Invocation templates have a number of properties, like title, description and type, but the most important ones are their input and output **field templates**.
-
-Invocation and field templates are the "source of truth" for graphs, because they indicate what the backend is able to process.
-
-When a user adds a new node to their workflow, these templates are used to instantiate a node with fields instantiated from the input and output field templates.
-
-##### Field Instances and Templates
-
-Field templates consist of:
-
-- Name: the identifier of the field, its variable name in python
-- Type: derived from the field's type annotation in python (e.g. IntegerField, ImageField, MainModelField)
-- Constraints: derived from the field's creation args in python (e.g. minimum value for an integer)
-- Default value: optionally provided in the field's creation args (e.g. 42 for an integer)
-
-Field instances are created from the templates and have name, type and optionally a value.
-
-The type of the field determines the UI components that are rendered for it.
-
-A field instance's name associates it with its template.
-
-##### Stateful vs Stateless Fields
-
-**Stateful** fields store their value in the frontend graph. Think primitives, model identifiers, images, etc. Fields are only stateful if the frontend allows the user to directly input a value for them.
-
-Many field types, however, are **stateless**. An example is a `UNetField`, which contains some data describing a UNet. Users cannot directly provide this data - it is created and consumed in the backend.
-
-Stateless fields do not store their value in the node, so their field instances do not have values.
-
-"Custom" fields will always be treated as stateless fields.
-
-##### Single and Collection Fields
-
-Field types have a name and cardinality property which may identify it as a **SINGLE**, **COLLECTION** or **SINGLE_OR_COLLECTION** field.
-
-- If a field is annotated in python as a singular value or class, its field type is parsed as a **SINGLE** type (e.g. `int`, `ImageField`, `str`).
-- If a field is annotated in python as a list, its field type is parsed as a **COLLECTION** type (e.g. `list[int]`).
-- If it is annotated as a union of a type and list, the type will be parsed as a **SINGLE_OR_COLLECTION** type (e.g. `Union[int, list[int]]`). Fields may not be unions of different types (e.g. `Union[int, list[str]]` and `Union[int, str]` are not allowed).
-
-## Implementation
-
-The majority of data structures in the backend are [pydantic] models. Pydantic provides OpenAPI schemas for all models and we then generate TypeScript types from those.
-
-The OpenAPI schema is parsed at runtime into our invocation templates.
-
-Workflows and all related data are modeled in the frontend using [zod]. Related types are inferred from the zod schemas.
-
-> In python, invocations are pydantic models with fields. These fields become node inputs. The invocation's `invoke()` function returns a pydantic model - its output. Like the invocation itself, the output model has any number of fields, which become node outputs.
-
-### zod Schemas and Types
-
-The zod schemas, inferred types, and type guards are in [types/].
-
-Roughly order from lowest-level to highest:
-
-- `common.ts`: stateful field data, and couple other misc types
-- `field.ts`: fields - types, values, instances, templates
-- `invocation.ts`: invocations and other node types
-- `workflow.ts`: workflows and constituents
-
-We customize the OpenAPI schema to include additional properties on invocation and field schemas. To facilitate parsing this schema into templates, we modify/wrap the types from [openapi-types] in `openapi.ts`.
-
-### OpenAPI Schema Parsing
-
-The entrypoint for OpenAPI schema parsing is [parseSchema.ts].
-
-General logic flow:
-
-- Iterate over all invocation schema objects
-  - Extract relevant invocation-level attributes (e.g. title, type, version, etc)
-  - Iterate over the invocation's input fields
-    - [Parse each field's type](#parsing-field-types)
-    - [Build a field input template](#building-field-input-templates) from the type - either a stateful template or "generic" stateless template
-  - Iterate over the invocation's output fields
-    - Parse the field's type (same as inputs)
-    - [Build a field output template](#building-field-output-templates)
-  - Assemble the attributes and fields into an invocation template
-
-Most of these involve very straightforward `reduce`s, but the less intuitive steps are detailed below.
-
-#### Parsing Field Types
-
-Field types are represented as structured objects:
-
-```ts
-type FieldType = {
-  name: string;
-  cardinality: 'SINGLE' | 'COLLECTION' | 'SINGLE_OR_COLLECTION';
-};
-```
-
-The parsing logic is in `parseFieldType.ts`.
-
-There are 4 general cases for field type parsing.
-
-##### Primitive Types
-
-When a field is annotated as a primitive values (e.g. `int`, `str`, `float`), the field type parsing is fairly straightforward. The field is represented by a simple OpenAPI **schema object**, which has a `type` property.
-
-We create a field type name from this `type` string (e.g. `string` -> `StringField`). The cardinality is `"SINGLE"`.
-
-##### Complex Types
-
-When a field is annotated as a pydantic model (e.g. `ImageField`, `MainModelField`, `ControlField`), it is represented as a **reference object**. Reference objects are pointers to another schema or reference object within the schema.
-
-We need to **dereference** the schema to pull these out. Dereferencing may require recursion. We use the reference object's name directly for the field type name.
-
-> Unfortunately, at this time, we've had limited success using external libraries to deference at runtime, so we do this ourselves.
-
-##### Collection Types
-
-When a field is annotated as a list of a single type, the schema object has an `items` property. They may be a schema object or reference object and must be parsed to determine the item type.
-
-We use the item type for field type name. The cardinality is `"COLLECTION"`.
-
-##### Single or Collection Types
-
-When a field is annotated as a union of a type and list of that type, the schema object has an `anyOf` property, which holds a list of valid types for the union.
-
-After verifying that the union has two members (a type and list of the same type), we use the type for field type name, with cardinality `"SINGLE_OR_COLLECTION"`.
-
-##### Optional Fields
-
-In OpenAPI v3.1, when an object is optional, it is put into an `anyOf` along with a primitive schema object with `type: 'null'`.
-
-Handling this adds a fair bit of complexity, as we now must filter out the `'null'` types and work with the remaining types as described above.
-
-If there is a single remaining schema object, we must recursively call to `parseFieldType()` to get parse it.
-
-#### Building Field Input Templates
-
-Now that we have a field type, we can build an input template for the field.
-
-Stateful fields all get a function to build their template, while stateless fields are constructed directly. This is possible because stateless fields have no default value or constraints.
-
-See [buildFieldInputTemplate.ts].
-
-#### Building Field Output Templates
-
-Field outputs are similar to stateless fields - they do not have any value in the frontend. When building their templates, we don't need a special function for each field type.
-
-See [buildFieldOutputTemplate.ts].
-
-### Managing reactflow State
-
-As described above, the workflow editor state is the essentially the reactflow state, plus some extra metadata.
-
-We provide reactflow with an array of nodes and edges via redux, and a number of [event handlers][reactflow-events]. These handlers dispatch redux actions, managing nodes and edges.
-
-The pieces of redux state relevant to workflows are:
-
-- `state.nodes.nodes`: the reactflow nodes state
-- `state.nodes.edges`: the reactflow edges state
-- `state.nodes.workflow`: the workflow metadata
-
-#### Building Nodes and Edges
-
-A reactflow node has a few important top-level properties:
-
-- `id`: unique identifier
-- `type`: a string that maps to a react component to render the node
-- `position`: XY coordinates
-- `data`: arbitrary data
-
-When the user adds a node, we build **invocation node data**, storing it in `data`. Invocation properties (e.g. type, version, label, etc.) are copied from the invocation template. Inputs and outputs are built from the invocation template's field templates.
-
-See [buildInvocationNode.ts].
-
-Edges are managed by reactflow, but briefly, they consist of:
-
-- `source`: id of the source node
-- `sourceHandle`: id of the source node handle (output field)
-- `target`: id of the target node
-- `targetHandle`: id of the target node handle (input field)
-
-> Edge creation is gated behind validation logic. This validation compares the input and output field types and overall graph state.
-
-#### Building a Workflow
-
-Building a workflow entity is as simple as dropping the nodes, edges and metadata into an object.
-
-Each node and edge is parsed with a zod schema, which serves to strip out any unneeded data.
-
-See [buildWorkflow.ts].
-
-#### Loading a Workflow
-
-Workflows may be loaded from external sources or the user's local instance. In all cases, the workflow needs to be handled with care, as an untrusted object.
-
-Loading has a few stages which may throw or warn if there are problems:
-
-- Parsing the workflow data structure itself, [migrating](#workflow-migrations) it if necessary (throws)
-- Check for a template for each node (warns)
-- Check each node's version against its template (warns)
-- Validate the source and target of each edge (warns)
-
-This validation occurs in [validateWorkflow.ts].
-
-If there are no fatal errors, the workflow is then stored in redux state.
-
-### Workflow Migrations
-
-When the workflow schema changes, we may need to perform some data migrations. This occurs as workflows are loaded. zod schemas for each workflow schema version is retained to facilitate migrations.
-
-Previous schemas are in folders in `invokeai/frontend/web/src/features/nodes/types/`, eg `v1/`.
-
-Migration logic is in [migrations.ts].

+title: Command-Line Interface
+---
+
+# :material-bash: CLI
+
+## **Interactive Command Line Interface**
+
+The InvokeAI command line interface (CLI) provides scriptable access
+to InvokeAI's features.Some advanced features are only available
+through the CLI, though they eventually find their way into the WebUI.
+
+The CLI is accessible from the `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat` launcher by
+selecting option (1). Alternatively, it can be launched directly from
+the command line by activating the InvokeAI environment and giving the
+command:
+
+```bash
+invokeai
+```
+
+After some startup messages, you will be presented with the `invoke> `
+prompt. Here you can type prompts to generate images and issue other
+commands to load and manipulate generative models. The CLI has a large
+number of command-line options that control its behavior. To get a
+concise summary of the options, call `invokeai` with the `--help` argument:
+
+```bash
+invokeai --help
+```
+
+The script uses the readline library to allow for in-line editing, command
+history (++up++ and ++down++), autocompletion, and more. To help keep track of
+which prompts generated which images, the script writes a log file of image
+names and prompts to the selected output directory.
+
+Here is a typical session
+
+```bash
+PS1:C:\Users\fred> invokeai
+* Initializing, be patient...
+* Initializing, be patient...
+>> Initialization file /home/lstein/invokeai/invokeai.init found. Loading...

+
+## Arguments
+
+The script recognizes a series of command-line switches that will
+change important global defaults, such as the directory for image
+outputs and the location of the model weight files.
+
+### List of arguments recognized at the command line
+
+These command-line arguments can be passed to `invoke.py` when you first run it
+from the Windows, Mac or Linux command line. Some set defaults that can be
+overridden on a per-prompt basis (see
+[List of prompt arguments](#list-of-prompt-arguments). Others

+!!! tip
+
+      On Windows systems, you may run into
+      problems when passing the invoke script standard backslashed path
+      names because the Python interpreter treats "\" as an escape.
+      You can either double your slashes (ick): `C:\\path\\to\\my\\file`, or
+      use Linux/Mac style forward slashes (better): `C:/path/to/my/file`.

+startup options in a file in your home directory named `.invokeai` The
+file should contain the startup options as you would type them on the
+command line (`--steps=10 --grid`), one argument per line, or a
+mixture of both using any of the accepted command switch formats:
+
+!!! example "my unmodified initialization file"
+
+    ```bash title="~/.invokeai" linenums="1"
+    # InvokeAI initialization file
+    # This is the InvokeAI initialization file, which contains command-line default values.
+    # Feel free to edit. If anything goes wrong, you can re-initialize this file by deleting
+    # or renaming it and then running invokeai-configure again.
+
+    # The --root option below points to the folder in which InvokeAI stores its models, configs and outputs.
+    --root="/Users/mauwii/invokeai"
+
+    # the --outdir option controls the default location of image files.
+    --outdir="/Users/mauwii/invokeai/outputs"
+
+    # You may place other  frequently-used startup commands here, one or more per line.
+    # Examples:
+    # --web --host=0.0.0.0
+    # --steps=20
+    # -Ak_euler_a -C10.0
+    ```
+
+!!! note
+
+    The  initialization file only accepts the command line arguments.
+    There are additional arguments that you can provide on the `invoke>` command
+    line (such as `-n` or `--iterations`) that cannot be entered into this file.
+    Also be alert for empty blank lines at the end of the file, which will cause
+    an arguments error at startup time.
+
+## List of prompt arguments
+
+After the invoke.py script initializes, it will present you with a `invoke>`
+prompt. Here you can enter information to generate images from text
+([txt2img](#txt2img)), to embellish an existing image or sketch
+([img2img](#img2img)), or to selectively alter chosen regions of the image
+([inpainting](#inpainting)).
+
+### txt2img
+
+!!! example ""
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> waterfall and rainbow -W640 -H480
+    ```
+
+    This will create the requested image with the dimensions 640 (width)
+    and 480 (height).
+
+Here are the invoke> command that apply to txt2img:
+

+
+!!! note
+
+    the width and height of the image must be multiples of 64. You can
+    provide different values, but they will be rounded down to the nearest multiple
+    of 64.
+
+!!! example "This is a example of img2img"
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> waterfall and rainbow -I./vacation-photo.png -W640 -H480 --fit
+    ```
+
+This will modify the indicated vacation photograph by making it more like the
+prompt. Results will vary greatly depending on what is in the image. We also ask
+to --fit the image into a box no bigger than 640x480. Otherwise the image size
+will be identical to the provided photo and you may run out of memory if it is
+large.
+
+In addition to the command-line options recognized by txt2img, img2img accepts
+additional options:

+### inpainting
+
+!!! example ""
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> waterfall and rainbow -I./vacation-photo.png -M./vacation-mask.png -W640 -H480 --fit
+    ```
+
+    This will do the same thing as img2img, but image alterations will
+    only occur within transparent areas defined by the mask file specified
+    by `-M`. You may also supply just a single initial image with the areas
+    to overpaint made transparent, but you must be careful not to destroy
+    the pixels underneath when you create the transparent areas. See
+    [Inpainting](INPAINTING.md) for details.
+
+inpainting accepts all the arguments used for txt2img and img2img, as well as
+the --mask (-M) and --text_mask (-tm) arguments:
+
+| Argument <img width="100" align="right"/> | Shortcut                 | Default | Description                                                                                      |
+| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `--init_mask <path>`                      | `-M<path>`               | `None`  | Path to an image the same size as the initial_image, with areas for inpainting made transparent. |
+| `--invert_mask `                          |                          | False   | If true, invert the mask so that transparent areas are opaque and vice versa.                    |
+| `--text_mask <prompt> [<float>]`          | `-tm <prompt> [<float>]` | <none>  | Create a mask from a text prompt describing part of the image                                    |
+
+The mask may either be an image with transparent areas, in which case the
+inpainting will occur in the transparent areas only, or a black and white image,
+in which case all black areas will be painted into.
+
+`--text_mask` (short form `-tm`) is a way to generate a mask using a text
+description of the part of the image to replace. For example, if you have an
+image of a breakfast plate with a bagel, toast and scrambled eggs, you can
+selectively mask the bagel and replace it with a piece of cake this way:
+
+```bash
+invoke> a piece of cake -I /path/to/breakfast.png -tm bagel
+```
+
+The algorithm uses <a
+href="https://github.com/timojl/clipseg">clipseg</a> to classify different
+regions of the image. The classifier puts out a confidence score for each region
+it identifies. Generally regions that score above 0.5 are reliable, but if you
+are getting too much or too little masking you can adjust the threshold down (to
+get more mask), or up (to get less). In this example, by passing `-tm` a higher
+value, we are insisting on a more stringent classification.
+
+```bash
+invoke> a piece of cake -I /path/to/breakfast.png -tm bagel 0.6
+```
+
+### Custom Styles and Subjects
+
+You can load and use hundreds of community-contributed Textual
+Inversion models just by typing the appropriate trigger phrase. Please
+see [Concepts Library](../features/CONCEPTS.md) for more details.
+
+## Other Commands
+
+The CLI offers a number of commands that begin with "!".
+
+### Postprocessing images
+
+To postprocess a file using face restoration or upscaling, use the `!fix`
+command.
+
+#### `!fix`
+
+This command runs a post-processor on a previously-generated image. It takes a
+PNG filename or path and applies your choice of the `-U`, `-G`, or `--embiggen`
+switches in order to fix faces or upscale. If you provide a filename, the script
+will look for it in the current output directory. Otherwise you can provide a
+full or partial path to the desired file.
+
+Some examples:
+
+!!! example "Upscale to 4X its original size and fix faces using codeformer"
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> !fix 0000045.4829112.png -G1 -U4 -ft codeformer
+    ```
+
+!!! example "Use the GFPGAN algorithm to fix faces, then upscale to 3X using --embiggen"
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> !fix 0000045.4829112.png -G0.8 -ft gfpgan
+    >> fixing outputs/img-samples/0000045.4829112.png
+    >> retrieved seed 4829112 and prompt "boy enjoying a banana split"
+    >> GFPGAN - Restoring Faces for image seed:4829112
+    Outputs:
+    [1] outputs/img-samples/000017.4829112.gfpgan-00.png: !fix "outputs/img-samples/0000045.4829112.png" -s 50 -S  -W 512 -H 512 -C 7.5 -A k_lms -G 0.8
+    ```
+
+#### `!mask`
+
+This command takes an image, a text prompt, and uses the `clipseg` algorithm to
+automatically generate a mask of the area that matches the text prompt. It is
+useful for debugging the text masking process prior to inpainting with the
+`--text_mask` argument. See [INPAINTING.md] for details.
+
+### Model selection and importation
+
+The CLI allows you to add new models on the fly, as well as to switch
+among them rapidly without leaving the script. There are several
+different model formats, each described in the [Model Installation
+Guide](../installation/050_INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
+
+#### `!models`
+
+This prints out a list of the models defined in `config/models.yaml'. The active
+model is bold-faced
+
+Example:
+
+<pre>
+inpainting-1.5            not loaded  Stable Diffusion inpainting model
+<b>stable-diffusion-1.5          active  Stable Diffusion v1.5</b>
+waifu-diffusion           not loaded  Waifu Diffusion v1.4
+</pre>
+
+#### `!switch <model>`
+
+This quickly switches from one model to another without leaving the CLI script.
+`invoke.py` uses a memory caching system; once a model has been loaded,
+switching back and forth is quick. The following example shows this in action.
+Note how the second column of the `!models` table changes to `cached` after a
+model is first loaded, and that the long initialization step is not needed when
+loading a cached model.
+
+#### `!import_model <hugging_face_repo_ID>`
+
+This imports and installs a `diffusers`-style model that is stored on
+the [HuggingFace Web Site](https://huggingface.co). You can look up
+any [Stable Diffusion diffusers
+model](https://huggingface.co/models?library=diffusers) and install it
+with a command like the following:
+
+```bash
+!import_model prompthero/openjourney
+```
+
+#### `!import_model <path/to/diffusers/directory>`
+
+If you have a copy of a `diffusers`-style model saved to disk, you can
+import it by passing the path to model's top-level directory.
+
+#### `!import_model <url>`
+
+For a `.ckpt` or `.safetensors` file, if you have a direct download
+URL for the file, you can provide it to `!import_model` and the file
+will be downloaded and installed for you.
+
+#### `!import_model <path/to/model/weights.ckpt>`
+
+This command imports a new model weights file into InvokeAI, makes it available
+for image generation within the script, and writes out the configuration for the
+model into `config/models.yaml` for use in subsequent sessions.
+
+Provide `!import_model` with the path to a weights file ending in `.ckpt`. If
+you type a partial path and press tab, the CLI will autocomplete. Although it
+will also autocomplete to `.vae` files, these are not currenty supported (but
+will be soon).
+
+When you hit return, the CLI will prompt you to fill in additional information
+about the model, including the short name you wish to use for it with the
+`!switch` command, a brief description of the model, the default image width and
+height to use with this model, and the model's configuration file. The latter
+three fields are automatically filled with reasonable defaults. In the example
+below, the bold-faced text shows what the user typed in with the exception of
+the width, height and configuration file paths, which were filled in
+automatically.
+
+#### `!import_model <path/to/directory_of_models>`
+
+If you provide the path of a directory that contains one or more
+`.ckpt` or `.safetensors` files, the CLI will scan the directory and
+interactively offer to import the models it finds there. Also see the
+`--autoconvert` command-line option.
+
+#### `!edit_model <name_of_model>`
+
+The `!edit_model` command can be used to modify a model that is already defined
+in `config/models.yaml`. Call it with the short name of the model you wish to
+modify, and it will allow you to modify the model's `description`, `weights` and
+other fields.
+
+Example:
+
+<pre>
+invoke> <b>!edit_model waifu-diffusion</b>
+>> Editing model waifu-diffusion from configuration file ./configs/models.yaml
+description: <b>Waifu diffusion v1.4beta</b>
+weights: models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/<b>model-epoch10-float16.ckpt</b>
+config: configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml
+width: 512
+height: 512
+
+>> New configuration:
+waifu-diffusion:
+  config: configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml
+  description: Waifu diffusion v1.4beta
+  weights: models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model-epoch10-float16.ckpt
+  height: 512
+  width: 512
+
+OK to import [n]? y
+>> Caching model stable-diffusion-1.4 in system RAM
+>> Loading waifu-diffusion from models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model-epoch10-float16.ckpt
+...
+</pre>
+
+### History processing
+
+The CLI provides a series of convenient commands for reviewing previous actions,
+retrieving them, modifying them, and re-running them.
+
+#### `!history`
+
+The invoke script keeps track of all the commands you issue during a session,
+allowing you to re-run them. On Mac and Linux systems, it also writes the
+command-line history out to disk, giving you access to the most recent 1000
+commands issued.
+
+The `!history` command will return a numbered list of all the commands issued
+during the session (Windows), or the most recent 1000 commands (Mac|Linux). You
+can then repeat a command by using the command `!NNN`, where "NNN" is the
+history line number. For example:
+
+!!! example ""
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> !history
+    ...
+    [14] happy woman sitting under tree wearing broad hat and flowing garment
+    [15] beautiful woman sitting under tree wearing broad hat and flowing garment
+    [18] beautiful woman sitting under tree wearing broad hat and flowing garment -v0.2 -n6
+    [20] watercolor of beautiful woman sitting under tree wearing broad hat and flowing garment -v0.2 -n6 -S2878767194
+    [21] surrealist painting of beautiful woman sitting under tree wearing broad hat and flowing garment -v0.2 -n6 -S2878767194
+    ...
+    invoke> !20
+    invoke> watercolor of beautiful woman sitting under tree wearing broad hat and flowing garment -v0.2 -n6 -S2878767194
+    ```
+
+####`!fetch`
+
+This command retrieves the generation parameters from a previously generated
+image and either loads them into the command line (Linux|Mac), or prints them
+out in a comment for copy-and-paste (Windows). You may provide either the name
+of a file in the current output directory, or a full file path. Specify path to
+a folder with image png files, and wildcard \*.png to retrieve the dream command
+used to generate the images, and save them to a file commands.txt for further
+processing.
+
+!!! example "load the generation command for a single png file"
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> !fetch 0000015.8929913.png
+    # the script returns the next line, ready for editing and running:
+    invoke> a fantastic alien landscape -W 576 -H 512 -s 60 -A plms -C 7.5
+    ```
+
+!!! example "fetch the generation commands from a batch of files and store them into `selected.txt`"
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> !fetch outputs\selected-imgs\*.png selected.txt
+    ```
+
+#### `!replay`
+
+This command replays a text file generated by !fetch or created manually
+
+!!! example
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> !replay outputs\selected-imgs\selected.txt
+    ```
+
+!!! note
+
+    These commands may behave unexpectedly if given a PNG file that was
+    not generated by InvokeAI.
+
+#### `!search <search string>`
+
+This is similar to !history but it only returns lines that contain
+`search string`. For example:
+
+```bash
+invoke> !search surreal
+[21] surrealist painting of beautiful woman sitting under tree wearing broad hat and flowing garment -v0.2 -n6 -S2878767194
+```
+
+#### `!clear`
+
+This clears the search history from memory and disk. Be advised that this
+operation is irreversible and does not issue any warnings!
+
+## Command-line editing and completion
+
+The command-line offers convenient history tracking, editing, and command
+completion.
+
+- To scroll through previous commands and potentially edit/reuse them, use the
+  ++up++ and ++down++ keys.
+- To edit the current command, use the ++left++ and ++right++ keys to position
+  the cursor, and then ++backspace++, ++delete++ or insert characters.
+- To move to the very beginning of the command, type ++ctrl+a++ (or
+  ++command+a++ on the Mac)
+- To move to the end of the command, type ++ctrl+e++.
+- To cut a section of the command, position the cursor where you want to start
+  cutting and type ++ctrl+k++
+- To paste a cut section back in, position the cursor where you want to paste,
+  and type ++ctrl+y++
+
+Windows users can get similar, but more limited, functionality if they launch
+`invoke.py` with the `winpty` program and have the `pyreadline3` library
+installed:
+
+```batch
+> winpty python scripts\invoke.py
+```
+
+On the Mac and Linux platforms, when you exit invoke.py, the last 1000 lines of
+your command-line history will be saved. When you restart `invoke.py`, you can
+access the saved history using the ++up++ key.
+
+In addition, limited command-line completion is installed. In various contexts,
+you can start typing your command and press ++tab++. A list of potential
+completions will be presented to you. You can then type a little more, hit
+++tab++ again, and eventually autocomplete what you want.
+
+When specifying file paths using the one-letter shortcuts, the CLI will attempt
+to complete pathnames for you. This is most handy for the `-I` (init image) and
+`-M` (init mask) paths. To initiate completion, start the path with a slash
+(`/`) or `./`. For example:
+
+```bash
+invoke> zebra with a mustache -I./test-pictures<TAB>
+-I./test-pictures/Lincoln-and-Parrot.png  -I./test-pictures/zebra.jpg        -I./test-pictures/madonna.png
+-I./test-pictures/bad-sketch.png          -I./test-pictures/man_with_eagle/
+```
+
+You can then type ++z++, hit ++tab++ again, and it will autofill to `zebra.jpg`.
+
+More text completion features (such as autocompleting seeds) are on their way.

+# :material-loupe: Embiggen
+
+**upscale your images on limited memory machines**
+
+GFPGAN and Real-ESRGAN are both memory intensive. In order to avoid
+crashes and memory overloads during the Stable Diffusion process,
+these effects are applied after Stable Diffusion has completed its
+work.
+
+In single image generations, you will see the output right away but
+when you are using multiple iterations, the images will first be
+generated and then upscaled and face restored after that process is
+complete. While the image generation is taking place, you will still
+be able to preview the base images.
+
+If you wish to stop during the image generation but want to upscale or
+face restore a particular generated image, pass it again with the same
+prompt and generated seed along with the `-U` and `-G` prompt
+arguments to perform those actions.
+
+## Embiggen
+
+If you wanted to be able to do more (pixels) without running out of VRAM,
+or you want to upscale with details that couldn't possibly appear
+without the context of a prompt, this is the feature to try out.
+
+Embiggen automates the process of taking an init image, upscaling it,
+cutting it into smaller tiles that slightly overlap, running all the
+tiles through img2img to refine details with respect to the prompt,
+and "stitching" the tiles back together into a cohesive image.
+
+It automatically computes how many tiles are needed, and so it can be fed
+*ANY* size init image and perform Img2Img on it (though it will be run only
+one tile at a time, which can cause problems, see the Note at the end).
+
+If you're familiar with "GoBig" (ala [progrock-stable](https://github.com/lowfuel/progrock-stable))
+it's similar to that, except it can work up to an arbitrarily large size
+(instead of just 2x), with tile overlaps configurable as a ratio, and
+has extra logic to re-run any number of the tile sub-sections of the image
+if for example a small part of a huge run got messed up.
+
+### Usage
+
+`-embiggen <scaling_factor> <esrgan_strength> <overlap_ratio OR overlap_pixels>`
+
+Takes a scaling factor relative to the size of the `--init_img` (`-I`), followed by
+ESRGAN upscaling strength (0 - 1.0), followed by minimum amount of overlap
+between tiles as a decimal ratio (0 - 1.0) *OR* a number of pixels.
+
+The scaling factor is how much larger than the `--init_img` the output
+should be, and will multiply both x and y axis, so an image that is a
+scaling factor of 3.0 has 3*3= 9 times as many pixels, and will take
+(at least) 9 times as long (see overlap for why it might be
+longer). If the `--init_img` is already the right size `-embiggen 1`,
+and it can also be less than one if the init_img is too big.
+
+Esrgan_strength defaults to 0.75, and the overlap_ratio defaults to
+0.25, both are optional.
+
+Unlike Img2Img, the `--width` (`-W`) and `--height` (`-H`) arguments
+do not control the size of the image as a whole, but the size of the
+tiles used to Embiggen the image.
+
+ESRGAN is used to upscale the `--init_img` prior to cutting it into
+tiles/pieces to run through img2img and then stitch back
+together. Embiggen can be run without ESRGAN; just set the strength to
+zero (e.g. `-embiggen 1.75 0`). The output of Embiggen can also be
+upscaled after it's finished (`-U`).
+
+The overlap is the minimum that tiles will overlap with adjacent
+tiles, specified as either a ratio or a number of pixels. How much the
+tiles overlap determines the likelihood the tiling will be noticable,
+really small overlaps (e.g. a couple of pixels) may produce noticeable
+grid-like fuzzy distortions in the final stitched image. Though, as
+the overlapping space doesn't contribute to making the image bigger,
+and the larger the overlap the more tiles (and the more time) it will
+take to finish.
+
+Because the overlapping parts of tiles don't "contribute" to
+increasing size, every tile after the first in a row or column
+effectively only covers an extra `1 - overlap_ratio` on each axis. If
+the input/`--init_img` is same size as a tile, the ideal (for time)
+scaling factors with the default overlap (0.25) are 1.75, 2.5, 3.25,
+4.0, etc.
+
+`-embiggen_tiles <spaced list of tiles>`
+
+An advanced usage useful if you only want to alter parts of the image
+while running Embiggen. It takes a list of tiles by number to run and
+replace onto the initial image e.g. `1 3 5`. It's useful for either
+fixing problem spots from a previous Embiggen run, or selectively
+altering the prompt for sections of an image - for creative or
+coherency reasons.
+
+Tiles are numbered starting with one, and left-to-right,
+top-to-bottom.  So, if you are generating a 3x3 tiled image, the
+middle row would be `4 5 6`.
+
+`-embiggen_strength <strength>`
+
+Another advanced option if you want to experiment with the strength parameter
+that embiggen uses when it calls Img2Img. Values range from 0.0 to 1.0
+and lower values preserve more of the character of the initial image.
+Values that are too high will result in a completely different end image,
+while values that are too low will result in an image not dissimilar to one
+you would get with ESRGAN upscaling alone. The default value is 0.4.
+
+### Examples
+
+!!! example ""
+
+    Running Embiggen with 512x512 tiles on an existing image, scaling up by a factor of 2.5x;
+    and doing the same again (default ESRGAN strength is 0.75, default overlap between tiles is 0.25):
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke > a photo of a forest at sunset -s 100 -W 512 -H 512 -I outputs/forest.png -f 0.4 -embiggen 2.5
+    invoke > a photo of a forest at sunset -s 100 -W 512 -H 512 -I outputs/forest.png -f 0.4 -embiggen 2.5 0.75 0.25
+    ```
+
+    If your starting image was also 512x512 this should have taken 9 tiles.
+
+!!! example ""
+
+    If there weren't enough clouds in the sky of that forest you just made
+    (and that image is about 1280 pixels (512*2.5) wide A.K.A. three
+    512x512 tiles with 0.25 overlaps wide) we can replace that top row of
+    tiles:
+
+    ```bash
+    invoke> a photo of puffy clouds over a forest at sunset -s 100 -W 512 -H 512 -I outputs/000002.seed.png -f 0.5 -embiggen_tiles 1 2 3
+    ```
+
+## Fixing Previously-Generated Images
+
+It is easy to apply embiggen to any previously-generated file without having to
+look up the original prompt and provide an initial image. Just use the
+syntax `!fix path/to/file.png <embiggen>`. For example, you can rewrite the
+previous command to look like this:
+
+```bash
+invoke> !fix ./outputs/000002.seed.png -embiggen_tiles 1 2 3
+```
+
+A new file named `000002.seed.fixed.png` will be created in the output directory. Note that
+the `!fix` command does not replace the original file, unlike the behavior at generate time.
+You do not need to provide the prompt, and `!fix` automatically selects a good strength for
+embiggen-ing.
+
+!!! note
+
+    Because the same prompt is used on all the tiled images, and the model
+    doesn't have the context of anything outside the tile being run - it
+    can end up creating repeated pattern (also called 'motifs') across all
+    the tiles based on that prompt. The best way to combat this is
+    lowering the `--strength` (`-f`) to stay more true to the init image,
+    and increasing the number of steps so there is more compute-time to
+    create the detail.  Anecdotally `--strength` 0.35-0.45 works pretty
+    well on most things. It may also work great in some examples even with
+    the `--strength` set high for patterns, landscapes, or subjects that
+    are more abstract. Because this is (relatively) fast, you can also
+    preserve the best parts from each.

+
+## **Creating Transparent Regions for Inpainting**
+
+Inpainting is really cool. To do it, you start with an initial image and use a
+photoeditor to make one or more regions transparent (i.e. they have a "hole" in
+them). You then provide the path to this image at the dream> command line using
+the `-I` switch. Stable Diffusion will only paint within the transparent region.
+
+There's a catch. In the current implementation, you have to prepare the initial
+image correctly so that the underlying colors are preserved under the
+transparent area. Many imaging editing applications will by default erase the
+color information under the transparent pixels and replace them with white or
+black, which will lead to suboptimal inpainting. It often helps to apply
+incomplete transparency, such as any value between 1 and 99%
+
+You also must take care to export the PNG file in such a way that the color
+information is preserved. There is often an option in the export dialog that
+lets you specify this.
+
+If your photoeditor is erasing the underlying color information, `dream.py` will
+give you a big fat warning. If you can't find a way to coax your photoeditor to
+retain color values under transparent areas, then you can combine the `-I` and
+`-M` switches to provide both the original unedited image and the masked
+(partially transparent) image:
+
+```bash
+invoke> "man with cat on shoulder" -I./images/man.png -M./images/man-transparent.png
+```
+
+## **Masking using Text**
+
+You can also create a mask using a text prompt to select the part of the image
+you want to alter, using the [clipseg](https://github.com/timojl/clipseg)
+algorithm. This works on any image, not just ones generated by InvokeAI.
+
+The `--text_mask` (short form `-tm`) option takes two arguments. The first
+argument is a text description of the part of the image you wish to mask (paint
+over). If the text description contains a space, you must surround it with
+quotation marks. The optional second argument is the minimum threshold for the
+mask classifier's confidence score, described in more detail below.
+
+To see how this works in practice, here's an image of a still life painting that
+I got off the web.
+
+<figure markdown>
+![still life scaled](../assets/still-life-scaled.jpg)
+</figure>
+
+You can selectively mask out the orange and replace it with a baseball in this
+way:
+
+```bash
+invoke> a baseball -I /path/to/still_life.png -tm orange
+```
+
+<figure markdown>
+![](../assets/still-life-inpainted.png)
+</figure>
+
+The clipseg classifier produces a confidence score for each region it
+identifies. Generally regions that score above 0.5 are reliable, but if you are
+getting too much or too little masking you can adjust the threshold down (to get
+more mask), or up (to get less). In this example, by passing `-tm` a higher
+value, we are insisting on a tigher mask. However, if you make it too high, the
+orange may not be picked up at all!
+
+```bash
+invoke> a baseball -I /path/to/breakfast.png -tm orange 0.6
+```
+
+The `!mask` command may be useful for debugging problems with the text2mask
+feature. The syntax is `!mask /path/to/image.png -tm <text> <threshold>`
+
+It will generate three files:
+
+- The image with the selected area highlighted.
+  - it will be named XXXXX.<imagename>.<prompt>.selected.png
+- The image with the un-selected area highlighted.
+  - it will be named XXXXX.<imagename>.<prompt>.deselected.png
+- The image with the selected area converted into a black and white image
+  according to the threshold level
+  - it will be named XXXXX.<imagename>.<prompt>.masked.png
+
+The `.masked.png` file can then be directly passed to the `invoke>` prompt in
+the CLI via the `-M` argument. Do not attempt this with the `selected.png` or
+`deselected.png` files, as they contain some transparency throughout the image
+and will not produce the desired results.
+
+Here is an example of how `!mask` works:
+
+```bash
+invoke> !mask ./test-pictures/curly.png -tm hair 0.5
+>> generating masks from ./test-pictures/curly.png
+>> Initializing clipseg model for text to mask inference
+Outputs:
+[941.1] outputs/img-samples/000019.curly.hair.deselected.png: !mask ./test-pictures/curly.png -tm hair 0.5
+[941.2] outputs/img-samples/000019.curly.hair.selected.png: !mask ./test-pictures/curly.png -tm hair 0.5
+[941.3] outputs/img-samples/000019.curly.hair.masked.png: !mask ./test-pictures/curly.png -tm hair 0.5
+```
+
+<figure markdown>
+![curly](../assets/outpainting/curly.png)
+<figcaption>Original image "curly.png"</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<figure markdown>
+![curly hair selected](../assets/inpainting/000019.curly.hair.selected.png)
+<figcaption>000019.curly.hair.selected.png</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<figure markdown>
+![curly hair deselected](../assets/inpainting/000019.curly.hair.deselected.png)
+<figcaption>000019.curly.hair.deselected.png</figcaption>

+
+<figure markdown>
+![curly hair masked](../assets/inpainting/000019.curly.hair.masked.png)
+<figcaption>000019.curly.hair.masked.png</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+It looks like we selected the hair pretty well at the 0.5 threshold (which is
+the default, so we didn't actually have to specify it), so let's have some fun:
+
+```bash
+invoke> medusa with cobras -I ./test-pictures/curly.png -M 000019.curly.hair.masked.png -C20
+>> loaded input image of size 512x512 from ./test-pictures/curly.png
+...
+Outputs:
+[946] outputs/img-samples/000024.801380492.png: "medusa with cobras" -s 50 -S 801380492 -W 512 -H 512 -C 20.0 -I ./test-pictures/curly.png -A k_lms -f 0.75
+```
+
+<figure markdown>
+![](../assets/inpainting/000024.801380492.png)
+</figure>
+
+You can also skip the `!mask` creation step and just select the masked
+
+region directly:
+
+```bash
+invoke> medusa with cobras -I ./test-pictures/curly.png -tm hair -C20
+```
+
+## Using the RunwayML inpainting model
+
+The
+[RunwayML Inpainting Model v1.5](https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-inpainting)
+is a specialized version of
+[Stable Diffusion v1.5](https://huggingface.co/spaces/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5)
+that contains extra channels specifically designed to enhance inpainting and
+outpainting. While it can do regular `txt2img` and `img2img`, it really shines
+when filling in missing regions. It has an almost uncanny ability to blend the
+new regions with existing ones in a semantically coherent way.
+
+To install the inpainting model, follow the
+[instructions](../installation/050_INSTALLING_MODELS.md) for installing a new model.
+You may use either the CLI (`invoke.py` script) or directly edit the
+`configs/models.yaml` configuration file to do this. The main thing to watch out
+for is that the the model `config` option must be set up to use
+`v1-inpainting-inference.yaml` rather than the `v1-inference.yaml` file that is
+used by Stable Diffusion 1.4 and 1.5.
+
+After installation, your `models.yaml` should contain an entry that looks like
+this one:
+
+```yml
+inpainting-1.5:
+  weights: models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/sd-v1-5-inpainting.ckpt
+  description: SD inpainting v1.5
+  config: configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inpainting-inference.yaml
+  vae: models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt
+  width: 512
+  height: 512
+```
+
+As shown in the example, you may include a VAE fine-tuning weights file as well.
+This is strongly recommended.
+
+To use the custom inpainting model, launch `invoke.py` with the argument
+`--model inpainting-1.5` or alternatively from within the script use the
+`!switch inpainting-1.5` command to load and switch to the inpainting model.
+
+You can now do inpainting and outpainting exactly as described above, but there
+will (likely) be a noticeable improvement in coherence. Txt2img and Img2img will
+work as well.
+
+There are a few caveats to be aware of:
+
+1. The inpainting model is larger than the standard model, and will use nearly 4
+   GB of GPU VRAM. This makes it unlikely to run on a 4 GB graphics card.
+
+2. When operating in Img2img mode, the inpainting model is much less steerable
+   than the standard model. It is great for making small changes, such as
+   changing the pattern of a fabric, or slightly changing a subject's expression
+   or hair, but the model will resist making the dramatic alterations that the
+   standard model lets you do.
+
+3. While the `--hires` option works fine with the inpainting model, some special
+   features, such as `--embiggen` are disabled.
+
+4. Prompt weighting (`banana++ sushi`) and merging work well with the inpainting
+   model, but prompt swapping
+   (`a ("fluffy cat").swap("smiling dog") eating a hotdog`) will not have any
+   effect due to the way the model is set up. You may use text masking (with
+   `-tm thing-to-mask`) as an effective replacement.
+
+5. The model tends to oversharpen image if you use high step or CFG values. If
+   you need to do large steps, use the standard model.
+
+6. The `--strength` (`-f`) option has no effect on the inpainting model due to
+   its fundamental differences with the standard model. It will always take the
+   full number of steps you specify.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+Here are some troubleshooting tips for inpainting and outpainting.
+
+## Inpainting is not changing the masked region enough!
+
+One of the things to understand about how inpainting works is that it is
+equivalent to running img2img on just the masked (transparent) area. img2img
+builds on top of the existing image data, and therefore will attempt to preserve
+colors, shapes and textures to the best of its ability. Unfortunately this means
+that if you want to make a dramatic change in the inpainted region, for example
+replacing a red wall with a blue one, the algorithm will fight you.
+
+You have a couple of options. The first is to increase the values of the
+requested steps (`-sXXX`), strength (`-f0.XX`), and/or condition-free guidance
+(`-CXX.X`). If this is not working for you, a more extreme step is to provide
+the `--inpaint_replace 0.X` (`-r0.X`) option. This value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.
+The higher it is the less attention the algorithm will pay to the data
+underneath the masked region. At high values this will enable you to replace
+colored regions entirely, but beware that the masked region mayl not blend in
+with the surrounding unmasked regions as well.

+## Recipe for GIMP
+
+[GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) is a popular Linux photoediting tool.
+
+1. Open image in GIMP.
+2. Layer->Transparency->Add Alpha Channel
+3. Use lasso tool to select region to mask
+4. Choose Select -> Float to create a floating selection
+5. Open the Layers toolbar (^L) and select "Floating Selection"
+6. Set opacity to a value between 0% and 99%
+7. Export as PNG
+8. In the export dialogue, Make sure the "Save colour values from transparent
+   pixels" checkbox is selected.

+## Recipe for Adobe Photoshop
+
+1. Open image in Photoshop
+
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![step1](../assets/step1.png)
+    </figure>
+
+2. Use any of the selection tools (Marquee, Lasso, or Wand) to select the area
+   you desire to inpaint.
+
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![step2](../assets/step2.png)
+    </figure>
+
+3. Because we'll be applying a mask over the area we want to preserve, you
+   should now select the inverse by using the ++shift+ctrl+i++ shortcut, or
+   right clicking and using the "Select Inverse" option.
+
+4. You'll now create a mask by selecting the image layer, and Masking the
+   selection. Make sure that you don't delete any of the underlying image, or
+   your inpainting results will be dramatically impacted.
+
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![step4](../assets/step4.png)
+    </figure>
+
+5. Make sure to hide any background layers that are present. You should see the

+   the checkered background.
+
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![step5](../assets/step5.png)

+
+## Outpainting and outcropping
+
+Outpainting is a process by which the AI generates parts of the image that are
+outside its original frame. It can be used to fix up images in which the subject
+is off center, or when some detail (often the top of someone's head!) is cut
+off.
+
+InvokeAI supports two versions of outpainting, one called "outpaint" and the
+other "outcrop." They work slightly differently and each has its advantages and
+drawbacks.
+
+### Outpainting
+
+Outpainting is the same as inpainting, except that the painting occurs in the
+regions outside of the original image. To outpaint using the `invoke.py` command
+line script, prepare an image in which the borders to be extended are pure
+black. Add an alpha channel (if there isn't one already), and make the borders
+completely transparent and the interior completely opaque. If you wish to modify
+the interior as well, you may create transparent holes in the transparency
+layer, which `img2img` will paint into as usual.
+
+Pass the image as the argument to the `-I` switch as you would for regular
+inpainting:
+
+```bash
+invoke> a stream by a river -I /path/to/transparent_img.png
+```
+
+You'll likely be delighted by the results.
+
+### Tips
+
+1. Do not try to expand the image too much at once. Generally it is best to
+   expand the margins in 64-pixel increments. 128 pixels often works, but your
+   mileage may vary depending on the nature of the image you are trying to
+   outpaint into.
+
+2. There are a series of switches that can be used to adjust how the inpainting
+   algorithm operates. In particular, you can use these to minimize the seam
+   that sometimes appears between the original image and the extended part.
+   These switches are:
+
+| switch                     | default | description                                                            |
+| -------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--seam_size SEAM_SIZE `   | `0`     | Size of the mask around the seam between original and outpainted image |
+| `--seam_blur SEAM_BLUR`    | `0`     | The amount to blur the seam inwards                                    |
+| `--seam_strength STRENGTH` | `0.7`   | The img2img strength to use when filling the seam                      |
+| `--seam_steps SEAM_STEPS`  | `10`    | The number of steps to use to fill the seam.                           |
+| `--tile_size TILE_SIZE`    | `32`    | The tile size to use for filling outpaint areas                        |
+
+### Outcrop
+
+The `outcrop` extension gives you a convenient `!fix` postprocessing command
+that allows you to extend a previously-generated image in 64 pixel increments in
+any direction. You can apply the module to any image previously-generated by
+InvokeAI. Note that it works with arbitrary PNG photographs, but not currently
+with JPG or other formats. Outcropping is particularly effective when combined
+with the
+[runwayML custom inpainting model](INPAINTING.md#using-the-runwayml-inpainting-model).
+
+Consider this image:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![curly_woman](../assets/outpainting/curly.png)
+</figure>
+
+Pretty nice, but it's annoying that the top of her head is cut off. She's also a
+bit off center. Let's fix that!
+
+```bash
+invoke> !fix images/curly.png --outcrop top 128 right 64 bottom 64
+```
+
+This is saying to apply the `outcrop` extension by extending the top of the
+image by 128 pixels, and the right and bottom of the image by 64 pixels. You can
+use any combination of top|left|right|bottom, and specify any number of pixels
+to extend. You can also abbreviate `--outcrop` to `-c`.
+
+The result looks like this:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![curly_woman_outcrop](../assets/outpainting/curly-outcrop-2.png)
+</figure>
+
+The new image is larger than the original (576x704) because 64 pixels were added
+to the top and right sides. You will need enough VRAM to process an image of
+this size.
+
+#### Outcropping non-InvokeAI images
+
+You can outcrop an arbitrary image that was not generated by InvokeAI,
+but your results will vary. The `inpainting-1.5` model is highly
+recommended, but if not feasible, then you may be able to improve the
+output by conditioning the outcropping with a text prompt that
+describes the scene using the `--new_prompt` argument:
+
+```bash
+invoke> !fix images/vacation.png --outcrop top 128 --new_prompt "family vacation"
+```
+
+You may also provide a different seed for outcropping to use by passing
+`-S<seed>`. A negative seed will generate a new random seed.
+
+A number of caveats:
+
+1. Although you can specify any pixel values, they will be rounded up to the
+   nearest multiple of 64. Smaller values are better. Larger extensions are more
+   likely to generate artefacts. However, if you wish you can run the !fix
+   command repeatedly to cautiously expand the image.
+
+2. The extension is stochastic, meaning that each time you run it you'll get a
+   slightly different result. You can run it repeatedly until you get an image
+   you like. Unfortunately `!fix` does not currently respect the `-n`
+   (`--iterations`) argument.
+
+3. Your results will be _much_ better if you use the `inpaint-1.5` model
+   released by runwayML and installed by default by `invokeai-configure`.
+   This model was trained specifically to harmoniously fill in image gaps. The
+   standard model will work as well, but you may notice color discontinuities at
+   the border.
+
+4. When using the `inpaint-1.5` model, you may notice subtle changes to the area
+   outside the masked region. This is because the model performs an
+   encoding/decoding on the image as a whole. This does not occur with the
+   standard model.
+
+## Outpaint
+
+The `outpaint` extension does the same thing, but with subtle differences.
+Starting with the same image, here is how we would add an additional 64 pixels
+to the top of the image:
+
+```bash
+invoke> !fix images/curly.png --out_direction top 64
+```
+
+(you can abbreviate `--out_direction` as `-D`.
+
+The result is shown here:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![curly_woman_outpaint](../assets/outpainting/curly-outpaint.png)
+</figure>
+
+Although the effect is similar, there are significant differences from
+outcropping:
+
+- You can only specify one direction to extend at a time.
+- The image is **not** resized. Instead, the image is shifted by the specified
+  number of pixels. If you look carefully, you'll see that less of the lady's
+  torso is visible in the image.
+- Because the image dimensions remain the same, there's no rounding to multiples
+  of 64.
+- Attempting to outpaint larger areas will frequently give rise to ugly ghosting
+  effects.
+- For best results, try increasing the step number.
+- If you don't specify a pixel value in `-D`, it will default to half of the
+  whole image, which is likely not what you want.
+
+!!! tip
+
+    Neither `outpaint` nor `outcrop` are perfect, but we continue to tune
+    and improve them. If one doesn't work, try the other. You may also
+    wish to experiment with other `img2img` arguments, such as `-C`, `-f`
+    and `-s`.

+
+# :material-library-shelves: Textual Inversions and LoRAs
+
+With the advances in research, many new capabilities are available to customize the knowledge and understanding of novel concepts not originally contained in the base model. 
+
+
+## Using Textual Inversion Files
+
+Textual inversion (TI) files are small models that customize the output of
+Stable Diffusion image generation. They can augment SD with specialized subjects
+and artistic styles. They are also known as "embeds" in the machine learning
+world.
+
+Each TI file introduces one or more vocabulary terms to the SD model. These are
+known in InvokeAI as "triggers." Triggers are denoted using angle brackets 
+as in "<trigger-phrase>". The two most common type of
+TI files that you'll encounter are `.pt` and `.bin` files, which are produced by
+different TI training packages. InvokeAI supports both formats, but its
+[built-in TI training system](TRAINING.md) produces `.pt`.
+
+[Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library) has
+amassed a large library of >800 community-contributed TI files covering a
+broad range of subjects and styles. You can also install your own or others' TI files 
+by placing them in the designated directory for the compatible model type
+
+### An Example
+
+Here are a few examples to illustrate how it works. All these images were
+generated using the command-line client and the Stable Diffusion 1.5 model:

+## Installing your Own TI Files
+
+You may install any number of `.pt` and `.bin` files simply by copying them into
+the `embedding` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models directory (usually `invokeai`
+in your home directory). For example, you can simply move a Stable Diffusion 1.5 embedding file to
+the `sd-1/embedding` folder. Be careful not to overwrite one file with another.
+For example, TI files generated by the Hugging Face toolkit share the named
+`learned_embedding.bin`. You can rename these, or use subdirectories to keep them distinct.
+
+At startup time, InvokeAI will scan the various `embedding` directories and load any TI
+files it finds there for compatible models. At startup you will see a message similar to this one:
+
+```bash
+>> Current embedding manager terms: <HOI4-Leader>, <princess-knight>
+```
+To use these when generating, simply type the `<` key in your prompt to open the Textual Inversion WebUI and 
+select the embedding you'd like to use. This UI has type-ahead support, so you can easily find supported embeddings.
+
+## Using LoRAs
+
+LoRA files are models that customize the output of Stable Diffusion
+image generation.  Larger than embeddings, but much smaller than full
+models, they augment SD with improved understanding of subjects and
+artistic styles.
+
+Unlike TI files, LoRAs do not introduce novel vocabulary into the
+model's known tokens. Instead, LoRAs augment the model's weights that
+are applied to generate imagery. LoRAs may be supplied with a
+"trigger" word that they have been explicitly trained on, or may
+simply apply their effect without being triggered.
+
+LoRAs are typically stored in .safetensors files, which are the most
+secure way to store and transmit these types of weights. You may
+install any number of `.safetensors` LoRA files simply by copying them
+into the `autoimport/lora` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models
+directory (usually `invokeai` in your home directory).
+
+To use these when generating, open the LoRA menu item in the options
+panel, select the LoRAs you want to apply and ensure that they have
+the appropriate weight recommended by the model provider. Typically,
+most LoRAs perform best at a weight of .75-1.

 ## Intro
 
-Runtime settings, including the location of files and
-directories, memory usage, and performance, are managed via the
-`invokeai.yaml` config file or environment variables. A subset
-of settings may be set via commandline arguments.
+InvokeAI has numerous runtime settings which can be used to adjust
+many aspects of its operations, including the location of files and
+directories, memory usage, and performance. These settings can be
+viewed and customized in several ways:
 
-Settings sources are used in this order:
+1. By editing settings in the `invokeai.yaml` file.
+2. By setting environment variables.
+3. On the command-line, when InvokeAI is launched.
 
-- CLI args
-- Environment variables
-- `invokeai.yaml` settings
-- Fallback: defaults
+In addition, the most commonly changed settings are accessible
+graphically via the `invokeai-configure` script.
 
-### InvokeAI Root Directory
+### How the Configuration System Works
 
-On startup, InvokeAI searches for its "root" directory. This is the directory
-that contains models, images, the database, and so on. It also contains
-a configuration file called `invokeai.yaml`.
+When InvokeAI is launched, the very first thing it needs to do is to
+find its "root" directory, which contains its configuration files,
+installed models, its database of images, and the folder(s) of
+generated images themselves. In this document, the root directory will
+be referred to as ROOT.
 
-InvokeAI searches for the root directory in this order:
+#### Finding the Root Directory
 
-1. The `--root <path>` CLI arg.
-2. The environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT.
-3. The directory containing the currently active virtual environment.
-4. Fallback: a directory in the current user's home directory named `invokeai`.
+To find its root directory, InvokeAI uses the following recipe:
 
-### InvokeAI Configuration File
+1. It first looks for the argument `--root <path>` on the command line
+it was launched from, and uses the indicated path if present.
 
-Inside the root directory, we read settings from the `invokeai.yaml` file.
+2. Next it looks for the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT, and uses
+the directory path found there if present.
 
-It has two sections - one for internal use and one for user settings:
+3. If neither of these are present, then InvokeAI looks for the
+folder containing the `.venv` Python virtual environment directory for
+the currently active environment. This directory is checked for files
+expected inside the InvokeAI root before it is used.
 
-```yaml
-# Internal metadata - do not edit:
-schema_version: 4
+4. Finally, InvokeAI looks for a directory in the current user's home
+directory named `invokeai`.
 
-# Put user settings here - see https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/features/CONFIGURATION/:
-host: 0.0.0.0 # serve the app on your local network
-models_dir: D:\invokeai\models # store models on an external drive
-precision: float16 # always use fp16 precision
+#### Reading the InvokeAI Configuration File
+
+Once the root directory has been located, InvokeAI looks for a file
+named `ROOT/invokeai.yaml`, and if present reads configuration values
+from it. The top of this file looks like this:
+
+```
+InvokeAI:
+  Web Server:
+    host: localhost
+    port: 9090
+    allow_origins: []
+    allow_credentials: true
+    allow_methods:
+    - '*'
+    allow_headers:
+    - '*'
+  Features:
+    esrgan: true
+    internet_available: true
+    log_tokenization: false
+    patchmatch: true
+    restore: true
+...
 ```
 
-The settings in this file will override the defaults. You only need
-to change this file if the default for a particular setting doesn't
-work for you.
+This lines in this file are used to establish default values for
+Invoke's settings. In the above fragment, the Web Server's listening
+port is set to 9090 by the `port` setting.
 
-You'll find an example file next to `invokeai.yaml` that shows the default values.
+You can edit this file with a text editor such as "Notepad" (do not
+use Word or any other word processor). When editing, be careful to
+maintain the indentation, and do not add extraneous text, as syntax
+errors will prevent InvokeAI from launching. A basic guide to the
+format of YAML files can be found
+[here](https://circleci.com/blog/what-is-yaml-a-beginner-s-guide/).
 
-Some settings, like [Model Marketplace API Keys], require the YAML
-to be formatted correctly. Here is a [basic guide to YAML files].
+You can fix a broken `invokeai.yaml` by deleting it and running the
+configuration script again -- option [7] in the launcher, "Re-run the
+configure script".
 
-#### Custom Config File Location
+#### Reading Environment Variables
 
-You can use any config file with the `--config` CLI arg. Pass in the path to the `invokeai.yaml` file you want to use.
+Next InvokeAI looks for defined environment variables in the format
+`INVOKEAI_<setting_name>`, for example `INVOKEAI_port`. Environment
+variable values take precedence over configuration file variables. On
+a Macintosh system, for example, you could change the port that the
+web server listens on by setting the environment variable this way:
 
-Note that environment variables will trump any settings in the config file.
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-All settings may be set via environment variables by prefixing `INVOKEAI_`
-to the variable name. For example, `INVOKEAI_HOST` would set the `host`
-setting.
-
-For non-primitive values, pass a JSON-encoded string:
-
-```sh
-export INVOKEAI_REMOTE_API_TOKENS='[{"url_regex":"modelmarketplace", "token": "12345"}]'
+```
+export INVOKEAI_port=8000
+invokeai-web
 ```
 
-We suggest using `invokeai.yaml`, as it is more user-friendly.
+Please check out these
+[Macintosh](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/set-environment-variable-mac)
+and
+[Windows](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/windows-set-environment-variable)
+guides for setting temporary and permanent environment variables.
 
-### CLI Args
+#### Reading the Command Line
 
-A subset of settings may be specified using CLI args:
+Lastly, InvokeAI takes settings from the command line, which override
+everything else. The command-line settings have the same name as the
+corresponding configuration file settings, preceded by a `--`, for
+example `--port 8000`.
 
-- `--root`: specify the root directory
-- `--config`: override the default `invokeai.yaml` file location
+If you are using the launcher (`invoke.sh` or `invoke.bat`) to launch
+InvokeAI, then just pass the command-line arguments to the launcher:
 
-### All Settings
-
-Following the table are additional explanations for certain settings.
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
-::: invokeai.app.services.config.config_default.InvokeAIAppConfig
-    options:
-        heading_level: 4
-        members: false
-        show_docstring_description: false
-        group_by_category: true
-        show_category_heading: false
-<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
-
-#### Model Marketplace API Keys
-
-Some model marketplaces require an API key to download models. You can provide a URL pattern and appropriate token in your `invokeai.yaml` file to provide that API key.
-
-The pattern can be any valid regex (you may need to surround the pattern with quotes):
-
-```yaml
-remote_api_tokens:
-  # Any URL containing `models.com` will automatically use `your_models_com_token`
-  - url_regex: models.com
-    token: your_models_com_token
-  # Any URL matching this contrived regex will use `some_other_token`
-  - url_regex: '^[a-z]{3}whatever.*\.com$'
-    token: some_other_token
+```
+invoke.bat --port 8000 --host 0.0.0.0
 ```
 
-The provided token will be added as a `Bearer` token to the network requests to download the model files. As far as we know, this works for all model marketplaces that require authorization.
+The arguments will be applied when you select the web server option
+(and the other options as well).
 
-#### Model Hashing
+If, on the other hand, you prefer to launch InvokeAI directly from the
+command line, you would first activate the virtual environment (known
+as the "developer's console" in the launcher), and run `invokeai-web`:
 
-Models are hashed during installation, providing a stable identifier for models across all platforms. Hashing is a one-time operation.
-
-```yaml
-hashing_algorithm: blake3_single # default value
+```
+> C:\Users\Fred\invokeai\.venv\scripts\activate
+(.venv) > invokeai-web --port 8000 --host 0.0.0.0
 ```
 
-You might want to change this setting, depending on your system:
+You can get a listing and brief instructions for each of the
+command-line options by giving the `--help` argument:
 
-- `blake3_single` (default): Single-threaded - best for spinning HDDs, still OK for SSDs
-- `blake3_multi`: Parallelized, memory-mapped implementation - best for SSDs, terrible for spinning disks
-- `random`: Skip hashing entirely - fastest but of course no hash
+```

-During the first startup after upgrading to v4, all of your models will be hashed. This can take a few minutes.
+## The Configuration Settings
 
-Most common algorithms are supported, like `md5`, `sha256`, and `sha512`. These are typically much, much slower than either of the BLAKE3 variants.
+The configuration settings are divided into several distinct
+groups in `invokeia.yaml`:
 
-#### Path Settings
+### Web Server
 
-These options set the paths of various directories and files used by InvokeAI. Any user-defined paths should be absolute paths.
+| Setting  | Default Value  |  Description |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `host`     | `localhost`      | Name or IP address of the network interface that the web server will listen on  |
+| `port`     | `9090`           | Network port number that the web server will listen on  |
+| `allow_origins`  | `[]`       | A list of host names or IP addresses that are allowed to connect to the InvokeAI API in the format `['host1','host2',...]` |
+| `allow_credentials` | `true`   | Require credentials for a foreign host to access the InvokeAI API (don't change this) |

+
+### Generation
+
+These options tune InvokeAI's memory and performance characteristics.
+
+| Setting               | Default Value | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
+|-----------------------|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `sequential_guidance` | `false`       | Calculate guidance in serial rather than in parallel, lowering memory requirements at the cost of some performance loss                                                                                                                                          |

+| `force_tiled_decode`  | `false`       | Force the VAE step to decode in tiles, reducing memory consumption at the cost of performance |
+
+### Device
+
+These options configure the generation execution device.
+
+| Setting               | Default Value | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

+| `device`           | `auto`        | Preferred execution device. One of `auto`, `cpu`, `cuda`, `cuda:1`, `mps`. `auto` will choose the device depending on the hardware platform and the installed torch capabilities. |
+| `precision`           | `auto`        | Floating point precision. One of `auto`, `float16` or `float32`. `float16` will consume half the memory of `float32` but produce slightly lower-quality images. The `auto` setting will guess the proper precision based on your video card and operating system |
+
+
+### Paths
+
+These options set the paths of various directories and files used by
+InvokeAI. Relative paths are interpreted relative to INVOKEAI_ROOT, so
+if INVOKEAI_ROOT is `/home/fred/invokeai` and the path is
+`autoimport/main`, then the corresponding directory will be located at
+`/home/fred/invokeai/autoimport/main`.
+
+| Setting  | Default Value  |  Description |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `autoimport_dir` | `autoimport/main`     | At startup time, read and import any main model files found in this directory |
+| `lora_dir` | `autoimport/lora`     | At startup time, read and import any LoRA/LyCORIS models found in this directory |
+| `embedding_dir` | `autoimport/embedding`  | At startup time, read and import any textual inversion (embedding) models found in this directory |
+| `controlnet_dir` | `autoimport/controlnet`  | At startup time, read and import any ControlNet models found in this directory |
+| `conf_path` | `configs/models.yaml`  | Location of the `models.yaml` model configuration file |
+| `models_dir` | `models`  | Location of the directory containing models installed by InvokeAI's model manager |
+| `legacy_conf_dir` | `configs/stable-diffusion`  | Location of the directory containing the .yaml configuration files for legacy checkpoint models |
+| `db_dir` | `databases`  | Location of the directory containing InvokeAI's image, schema and session database |
+| `outdir` | `outputs`  | Location of the directory in which the gallery of generated and uploaded images will be stored |
+| `use_memory_db` | `false`  | Keep database information in memory rather than on disk; this will not preserve image gallery information across restarts |
+
+Note that the autoimport directories will be searched recursively,
+allowing you to organize the models into folders and subfolders in any
+way you wish. In addition, while we have split up autoimport
+directories by the type of model they contain, this isn't
+necessary. You can combine different model types in the same folder
+and InvokeAI will figure out what they are. So you can easily use just
+one autoimport directory by commenting out the unneeded paths:
+
+```
+Paths:
+  autoimport_dir: autoimport
+#  lora_dir: null
+#  embedding_dir: null
+#  controlnet_dir: null
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+These settings control the information, warning, and debugging
+messages printed to the console log while InvokeAI is running:
+
+| Setting  | Default Value  |  Description |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `log_handlers` | `console` | This controls where log messages are sent, and can be a list of one or more destinations. Values include `console`, `file`, `syslog` and `http`. These are described in more detail below |
+| `log_format` | `color` | This controls the formatting of the log messages. Values are `plain`, `color`, `legacy` and `syslog` |
+| `log_level`  | `debug` | This filters messages according to the level of severity and can be one of `debug`, `info`, `warning`, `error` and `critical`. For example, setting to `warning` will display all messages at the warning level or higher, but won't display "debug" or "info" messages |

-# Invoke's SQLite Database
-
-Invoke uses a SQLite database to store image, workflow, model, and execution data.
-
-We take great care to ensure your data is safe, by utilizing transactions and a database migration system.
-
-Even so, when testing an prerelease version of the app, we strongly suggest either backing up your database or using an in-memory database. This ensures any prelease hiccups or databases schema changes will not cause problems for your data.
-
-## Database Backup
-
-Backing up your database is very simple. Invoke's data is stored in an `$INVOKEAI_ROOT` directory - where your `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat` and `invokeai.yaml` files live.
-
-To back up your database, copy the `invokeai.db` file from `$INVOKEAI_ROOT/databases/invokeai.db` to somewhere safe.
-
-If anything comes up during prelease testing, you can simply copy your backup back into `$INVOKEAI_ROOT/databases/`.
-
-## In-Memory Database
-
-SQLite can run on an in-memory database. Your existing database is untouched when this mode is enabled, but your existing data won't be accessible.
-
-This is very useful for testing, as there is no chance of a database change modifying your "physical" database.
-
-To run Invoke with a memory database, edit your `invokeai.yaml` file, and add `use_memory_db: true` to the `Paths:` stanza:
-
-```yaml
-InvokeAI:
-  Development:
-    use_memory_db: true
-```
-
-Delete this line (or set it to `false`) to use your main database.

-## Quick guided walkthrough of the Gallery Panel's features
-
-The Gallery Panel is a fast way to review, find, and make use of images you've
-generated and loaded. The Gallery is divided into Boards. The Uncategorized board is always 
-present but you can create your own for better organization.
-
-![image](../assets/gallery/gallery.png)
-
-### Board Display and Settings
-
-At the very top of the Gallery Panel are the boards disclosure and settings buttons.
-
-![image](../assets/gallery/top_controls.png)
-
-The disclosure button shows the name of the currently selected board and allows you to show and hide the board thumbnails (shown in the image below).
-
-![image](../assets/gallery/board_thumbnails.png)
-
-The settings button opens a list of options.
-
-![image](../assets/gallery/board_settings.png)
-
-- ***Image Size*** this slider lets you control the size of the image previews (images of three different sizes).
-- ***Auto-Switch to New Images*** if you turn this on, whenever a new image is generated, it will automatically be loaded into the current image panel on the Text to Image tab and into the result panel on the [Image to Image](IMG2IMG.md) tab. This will happen invisibly if you are on any other tab when the image is generated.
-- ***Auto-Assign Board on Click*** whenever an image is generated or saved, it always gets put in a board. The board it gets put into is marked with AUTO (image of board marked). Turning on Auto-Assign Board on Click will make whichever board you last selected be the destination when you click Invoke. That means you can click Invoke, select a different board, and then click Invoke again and the two images will be put in two different boards. (bold)It's the board selected when Invoke is clicked that's used, not the board that's selected when the image is finished generating.(bold) Turning this off, enables the Auto-Add Board drop down which lets you set one specific board to always put generated images into. This also enables and disables the Auto-add to this Board menu item described below.
-- ***Always Show Image Size Badge*** this toggles whether to show image sizes for each image preview (show two images, one with sizes shown, one without)
-
-Below these two buttons, you'll see the Search Boards text entry area. You use this to search for specific boards by the name of the board.
-Next to it is the Add Board (+) button which lets you add new boards. Boards can be renamed by clicking on the name of the board under its thumbnail and typing in the new name.

-
-- ***Auto-add to this Board*** if you've disabled Auto-Assign Board on Click in the board settings, you can use this option to set this board to be where new images are put.
-- ***Download Board*** this will add all the images in the board into a zip file and provide a link to it in a notification (image of notification)
-- ***Delete Board*** this will delete the board
-> [!CAUTION]
-> This will delete all the images in the board and the board itself.
-
-### Board Contents
-
-Every board is organized by two tabs, Images and Assets.
-
-![image](../assets/gallery/board_tabs.png)
-
-Images are the Invoke-generated images that are placed into the board. Assets are images that you upload into Invoke to be used as an [Image Prompt](https://support.invoke.ai/support/solutions/articles/151000159340-using-the-image-prompt-adapter-ip-adapter-) or in the [Image to Image](IMG2IMG.md) tab.

-### Image Thumbnail Menu
-
-Every image generated by Invoke has its generation information stored as text inside the image file itself. This can be read directly by selecting the image and clicking on the Info button ![image](../assets/gallery/info_button.png) in any of the image result panels.

-
- The options are (items marked with an * will not work with images that lack generation information):
-- ***Open in New Tab*** this will open the image alone in a new browser tab, separate from the Invoke interface.
-- ***Download Image*** this will trigger your browser to download the image.
-- ***Load Workflow **** this will load any workflow settings into the Workflow tab and automatically open it.
-- ***Remix Image **** this will load all of the image's generation information, (bold)excluding its Seed, into the left hand control panel

-# :material-library-shelves: LoRAs & LCM-LoRAs
-
-With the advances in research, many new capabilities are available to customize the knowledge and understanding of novel concepts not originally contained in the base model. 
-
-## LoRAs
-
-Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) files are models that customize the output of Stable Diffusion
-image generation.  Larger than embeddings, but much smaller than full
-models, they augment SD with improved understanding of subjects and
-artistic styles.
-
-Unlike TI files, LoRAs do not introduce novel vocabulary into the
-model's known tokens. Instead, LoRAs augment the model's weights that
-are applied to generate imagery. LoRAs may be supplied with a
-"trigger" word that they have been explicitly trained on, or may
-simply apply their effect without being triggered.
-
-LoRAs are typically stored in .safetensors files, which are the most
-secure way to store and transmit these types of weights.
-
-To use these when generating, open the LoRA menu item in the options
-panel, select the LoRAs you want to apply and ensure that they have
-the appropriate weight recommended by the model provider. Typically,
-most LoRAs perform best at a weight of .75-1.
-
-
-## LCM-LoRAs
-Latent Consistency Models (LCMs) allowed a reduced number of steps to be used to generate images with Stable Diffusion. These are created by distilling base models, creating models that only require a small number of steps to generate images. However, LCMs require that any fine-tune of a base model be distilled to be used as an LCM. 
-
-LCM-LoRAs are models that provide the benefit of LCMs but are able to be used as LoRAs and applied to any fine tune of a base model. LCM-LoRAs are created by training a small number of adapters, rather than distilling the entire fine-tuned base model. The resulting LoRA can be used the same way as a standard LoRA, but with a greatly reduced step count. This enables SDXL images to be generated up to 10x faster than without the use of LCM-LoRAs. 
-
-
-**Using LCM-LoRAs**
-
-LCM-LoRAs are natively supported in InvokeAI throughout the application. To get started, install any diffusers format LCM-LoRAs using the model manager and select it in the LoRA field.
-
-There are a number parameter differences when using LCM-LoRAs and standard generation: 
-
-- When using LCM-LoRAs, the LoRA strength should be lower than if using a standard LoRA, with 0.35 recommended as a starting point.  
-- The LCM scheduler should be used for generation
-- CFG-Scale should be reduced to ~1
-- Steps should be reduced in the range of 4-8
-
-Standard LoRAs can also be used alongside LCM-LoRAs, but will also require a lower strength, with 0.45 being recommended as a starting point.

+### Cross-Attention Control ('prompt2prompt')
+
+Sometimes an image you generate is almost right, and you just want to change one
+detail without affecting the rest. You could use a photo editor and inpainting
+to overpaint the area, but that's a pain. Here's where `prompt2prompt` comes in
+handy.
+
+Generate an image with a given prompt, record the seed of the image, and then
+use the `prompt2prompt` syntax to substitute words in the original prompt for
+words in a new prompt. This works for `img2img` as well.
+
+For example, consider the prompt `a cat.swap(dog) playing with a ball in the forest`. Normally, because of the word words interact with each other when doing a stable diffusion image generation, these two prompts would generate different compositions:
+  - `a cat playing with a ball in the forest`
+  - `a dog playing with a ball in the forest`
+
+| `a cat playing with a ball in the forest` | `a dog playing with a ball in the forest` |
+| --- | --- |
+| img | img |
+
+
+      - For multiple word swaps, use parentheses: `a (fluffy cat).swap(barking dog) playing with a ball in the forest`.
+      - To swap a comma, use quotes: `a ("fluffy, grey cat").swap("big, barking dog") playing with a ball in the forest`.
+- Supports options `t_start` and `t_end` (each 0-1) loosely corresponding to (bloc97's)[(https://github.com/bloc97/CrossAttentionControl)] `prompt_edit_tokens_start/_end` but with the math swapped to make it easier to
+  intuitively understand. `t_start` and `t_end` are used to control on which steps cross-attention control should run. With the default values `t_start=0` and `t_end=1`, cross-attention control is active on every step of image generation. Other values can be used to turn cross-attention control off for part of the image generation process.
+    - For example, if doing a diffusion with 10 steps for the prompt is `a cat.swap(dog, t_start=0.3, t_end=1.0) playing with a ball in the forest`, the first 3 steps will be run as `a cat playing with a ball in the forest`, while the last 7 steps will run as `a dog playing with a ball in the forest`, but the pixels that represent `dog` will be locked to the pixels that would have represented `cat` if the `cat` prompt had been used instead.
+    - Conversely, for `a cat.swap(dog, t_start=0, t_end=0.7) playing with a ball in the forest`, the first 7 steps will run as `a dog playing with a ball in the forest` with the pixels that represent `dog` locked to the same pixels that would have represented `cat` if the `cat` prompt was being used instead. The final 3 steps will just run `a cat playing with a ball in the forest`.
+    > For img2img, the step sequence does not start at 0 but instead at `(1.0-strength)` - so if the img2img `strength` is `0.7`, `t_start` and `t_end` must both be greater than `0.3` (`1.0-0.7`) to have any effect.
+
+Prompt2prompt `.swap()` is not compatible with xformers, which will be temporarily disabled when doing a `.swap()` - so you should expect to use more VRAM and run slower that with xformers enabled.
+
+The `prompt2prompt` code is based off
+[bloc97's colab](https://github.com/bloc97/CrossAttentionControl).

-## Using Textual Inversion Files
-
-Textual inversion (TI) files are small models that customize the output of
-Stable Diffusion image generation. They can augment SD with specialized subjects
-and artistic styles. They are also known as "embeds" in the machine learning
-world.
-
-Each TI file introduces one or more vocabulary terms to the SD model. These are
-known in InvokeAI as "triggers." Triggers are denoted using angle brackets 
-as in "<trigger-phrase>". The two most common type of
-TI files that you'll encounter are `.pt` and `.bin` files, which are produced by
-different TI training packages. InvokeAI supports both formats, but its
-[built-in TI training system](TRAINING.md) produces `.pt`.
-
-[Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library) has
-amassed a large library of >800 community-contributed TI files covering a
-broad range of subjects and styles. You can also install your own or others' TI files 
-by placing them in the designated directory for the compatible model type
-
-### An Example

-Here are a few examples to illustrate how it works. All these images
-were generated using the legacy command-line client and the Stable

-
-You can also combine styles and concepts:
-
-<figure markdown>
-  | A portrait of &lt;alf&gt; in &lt;cartoona-animal&gt; style |
-  | :--------------------------------------------------------: |
-  | ![](../assets/concepts/image5.png)                         |
-</figure>
-
-
-## Installing your Own TI Files
-
-You may install any number of `.pt` and `.bin` files simply by copying them into
-the `embedding` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models directory (usually `invokeai`
-in your home directory). For example, you can simply move a Stable Diffusion 1.5 embedding file to
-the `sd-1/embedding` folder. Be careful not to overwrite one file with another.
-For example, TI files generated by the Hugging Face toolkit share the named
-`learned_embedding.bin`. You can rename these, or use subdirectories to keep them distinct.
-
-At startup time, InvokeAI will scan the various `embedding` directories and load any TI
-files it finds there for compatible models. At startup you will see a message similar to this one:
-
-```bash
->> Current embedding manager terms: <HOI4-Leader>, <princess-knight>
-```
-To use these when generating, simply type the `<` key in your prompt to open the Textual Inversion WebUI and 
-select the embedding you'd like to use. This UI has type-ahead support, so you can easily find supported embeddings.

+## **Personalizing Text-to-Image Generation**
 
-You can find more by visiting the repo at https://github.com/invoke-ai/invoke-training
+You may personalize the generated images to provide your own styles or objects
+by training a new LDM checkpoint and introducing a new vocabulary to the fixed
+model as a (.pt) embeddings file. Alternatively, you may use or train
+HuggingFace Concepts embeddings files (.bin) from
+<https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library> and its associated
+notebooks.
+
+## **Hardware and Software Requirements**
+
+You will need a GPU to perform training in a reasonable length of
+time, and at least 12 GB of VRAM. We recommend using the [`xformers`
+library](../installation/070_INSTALL_XFORMERS.md) to accelerate the
+training process further. During training, about ~8 GB is temporarily
+needed in order to store intermediate models, checkpoints and logs.
+
+## **Preparing for Training**
+
+To train, prepare a folder that contains 3-5 images that illustrate
+the object or concept. It is good to provide a variety of examples or
+poses to avoid overtraining the system. Format these images as PNG
+(preferred) or JPG. You do not need to resize or crop the images in
+advance, but for more control you may wish to do so.
+
+Place the training images in a directory on the machine InvokeAI runs
+on. We recommend placing them in a subdirectory of the
+`text-inversion-training-data` folder located in the InvokeAI root
+directory, ordinarily `~/invokeai` (Linux/Mac), or
+`C:\Users\your_name\invokeai` (Windows). For example, to create an
+embedding for the "psychedelic" style, you'd place the training images
+into the directory
+`~invokeai/text-inversion-training-data/psychedelic`.
+
+## **Launching Training Using the Console Front End**
+
+InvokeAI 2.3 and higher comes with a text console-based training front
+end. From within the `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat` Invoke launcher script,
+start training tool selecting choice (3):
+
+```sh
+1 "Generate images with a browser-based interface"
+2 "Explore InvokeAI nodes using a command-line interface"
+3 "Textual inversion training"
+4 "Merge models (diffusers type only)"
+5 "Download and install models"
+6 "Change InvokeAI startup options"
+7 "Re-run the configure script to fix a broken install or to complete a major upgrade"
+8 "Open the developer console"
+9 "Update InvokeAI"
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can select option (8) or from the command line, with the InvokeAI virtual environment active,
+you can then launch the front end with the command `invokeai-ti --gui`.
+
+This will launch a text-based front end that will look like this:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![ti-frontend](../assets/textual-inversion/ti-frontend.png)

+The interface is keyboard-based. Move from field to field using
+control-N (^N) to move to the next field and control-P (^P) to the
+previous one. <Tab> and <shift-TAB> work as well. Once a field is
+active, use the cursor keys. In a checkbox group, use the up and down
+cursor keys to move from choice to choice, and <space> to select a
+choice. In a scrollbar, use the left and right cursor keys to increase
+and decrease the value of the scroll. In textfields, type the desired
+values.

+The number of parameters may look intimidating, but in most cases the
+predefined defaults work fine. The red circled fields in the above
+illustration are the ones you will adjust most frequently.
+
+### Model Name
+
+This will list all the diffusers models that are currently
+installed. Select the one you wish to use as the basis for your
+embedding. Be aware that if you use a SD-1.X-based model for your
+training, you will only be able to use this embedding with other
+SD-1.X-based models. Similarly, if you train on SD-2.X, you will only
+be able to use the embeddings with models based on SD-2.X.
+
+### Trigger Term
+
+This is the prompt term you will use to trigger the embedding. Type a
+single word or phrase you wish to use as the trigger, example
+"psychedelic" (without angle brackets). Within InvokeAI, you will then
+be able to activate the trigger using the syntax `<psychedelic>`.
+
+### Initializer
+
+This is a single character that is used internally during the training
+process as a placeholder for the trigger term. It defaults to "*" and
+can usually be left alone.
+
+### Resume from last saved checkpoint
+
+As training proceeds, textual inversion will write a series of
+intermediate files that can be used to resume training from where it
+was left off in the case of an interruption. This checkbox will be
+automatically selected if you provide a previously used trigger term
+and at least one checkpoint file is found on disk.
+
+Note that as of 20 January 2023, resume does not seem to be working
+properly due to an issue with the upstream code.
+
+### Data Training Directory
+
+This is the location of the images to be used for training. When you
+select a trigger term like "my-trigger", the frontend will prepopulate
+this field with `~/invokeai/text-inversion-training-data/my-trigger`,
+but you can change the path to wherever you want.
+
+### Output Destination Directory
+
+This is the location of the logs, checkpoint files, and embedding
+files created during training. When you select a trigger term like
+"my-trigger", the frontend will prepopulate this field with
+`~/invokeai/text-inversion-output/my-trigger`, but you can change the
+path to wherever you want.
+
+### Image resolution
+
+The images in the training directory will be automatically scaled to
+the value you use here. For best results, you will want to use the
+same default resolution of the underlying model (512 pixels for
+SD-1.5, 768 for the larger version of SD-2.1).
+
+### Center crop images
+
+If this is selected, your images will be center cropped to make them
+square before resizing them to the desired resolution. Center cropping
+can indiscriminately cut off the top of subjects' heads for portrait
+aspect images, so if you have images like this, you may wish to use a
+photoeditor to manually crop them to a square aspect ratio.
+
+### Mixed precision
+
+Select the floating point precision for the embedding. "no" will
+result in a full 32-bit precision, "fp16" will provide 16-bit
+precision, and "bf16" will provide mixed precision (only available
+when XFormers is used).
+
+### Max training steps
+
+How many steps the training will take before the model converges. Most
+training sets will converge with 2000-3000 steps.
+
+### Batch size
+
+This adjusts how many training images are processed simultaneously in
+each step. Higher values will cause the training process to run more
+quickly, but use more memory. The default size will run with GPUs with
+as little as 12 GB.
+
+### Learning rate
+
+The rate at which the system adjusts its internal weights during
+training. Higher values risk overtraining (getting the same image each
+time), and lower values will take more steps to train a good
+model. The default of 0.0005 is conservative; you may wish to increase
+it to 0.005 to speed up training.
+
+### Scale learning rate by number of GPUs, steps and batch size
+
+If this is selected (the default) the system will adjust the provided
+learning rate to improve performance.
+
+### Use xformers acceleration
+
+This will activate XFormers memory-efficient attention. You need to
+have XFormers installed for this to have an effect.
+
+### Learning rate scheduler
+
+This adjusts how the learning rate changes over the course of
+training. The default "constant" means to use a constant learning rate
+for the entire training session. The other values scale the learning
+rate according to various formulas.
+
+Only "constant" is supported by the XFormers library.
+
+### Gradient accumulation steps
+
+This is a parameter that allows you to use bigger batch sizes than
+your GPU's VRAM would ordinarily accommodate, at the cost of some
+performance.
+
+### Warmup steps
+
+If "constant_with_warmup" is selected in the learning rate scheduler,
+then this provides the number of warmup steps. Warmup steps have a
+very low learning rate, and are one way of preventing early
+overtraining.
+
+## The training run
+
+Start the training run by advancing to the OK button (bottom right)
+and pressing <enter>. A series of progress messages will be displayed
+as the training process proceeds. This may take an hour or two,
+depending on settings and the speed of your system. Various log and
+checkpoint files will be written into the output directory (ordinarily
+`~/invokeai/text-inversion-output/my-model/`)
+
+At the end of successful training, the system will copy the file
+`learned_embeds.bin` into the InvokeAI root directory's `embeddings`
+directory, using a subdirectory named after the trigger token. For
+example, if the trigger token was `psychedelic`, then look for the
+embeddings file in
+`~/invokeai/embeddings/psychedelic/learned_embeds.bin`
+
+You may now launch InvokeAI and try out a prompt that uses the trigger
+term. For example `a plate of banana sushi in <psychedelic> style`.
+
+## **Training with the Command-Line Script**
+
+Training can also be done using a traditional command-line script. It
+can be launched from within the "developer's console", or from the
+command line after activating InvokeAI's virtual environment.
+
+It accepts a large number of arguments, which can be summarized by
+passing the `--help` argument:
+
+```sh
+invokeai-ti --help
+```
+
+Typical usage is shown here:
+```sh
+invokeai-ti \
+       --model=stable-diffusion-1.5 \
+       --resolution=512 \
+       --learnable_property=style \
+       --initializer_token='*' \
+       --placeholder_token='<psychedelic>' \
+       --train_data_dir=/home/lstein/invokeai/training-data/psychedelic \
+       --output_dir=/home/lstein/invokeai/text-inversion-training/psychedelic \
+       --scale_lr \
+       --train_batch_size=8 \
+       --gradient_accumulation_steps=4 \
+       --max_train_steps=3000 \
+       --learning_rate=0.0005 \
+       --resume_from_checkpoint=latest \
+       --lr_scheduler=constant \
+       --mixed_precision=fp16 \
+       --only_save_embeds
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `Cannot load embedding for <trigger>. It was trained on a model with token dimension 1024, but the current model has token dimension 768`
+
+Messages like this indicate you trained the embedding on a different base model than the currently selected one.
+
+For example, in the error above, the training was done on SD2.1 (768x768) but it was used on SD1.5 (512x512).

+title: Variations
+---
+
+# :material-tune-variant: Variations
+
+## Intro
+
+InvokeAI's support for variations enables you to do the following:
+
+1. Generate a series of systematic variations of an image, given a prompt. The
+   amount of variation from one image to the next can be controlled.
+
+2. Given two or more variations that you like, you can combine them in a
+   weighted fashion.
+
+!!! Information ""
+
+    This cheat sheet provides a quick guide for how this works in practice, using
+    variations to create the desired image of Xena, Warrior Princess.
+
+## Step 1 -- Find a base image that you like
+
+The prompt we will use throughout is:
+
+`#!bash "lucy lawless as xena, warrior princess, character portrait, high resolution."`
+
+This will be indicated as `#!bash "prompt"` in the examples below.
+
+First we let SD create a series of images in the usual way, in this case
+requesting six iterations.
+
+<figure markdown>
+![var1](../assets/variation_walkthru/000001.3357757885.png)
+<figcaption> Seed 3357757885 looks nice </figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 - Generating Variations
+
+Let's try to generate some variations on this image. We select the "*"
+symbol in the line of icons above the image in order to fix the prompt
+and seed. Then we open up the "Variations" section of the generation
+panel and use the slider to set the variation amount to 0.2. The
+higher this value, the more each generated image will differ from the
+previous one.
+
+Now we run the prompt a second time, requesting six iterations. You
+will see six images that are thematically related to each other. Try
+increasing and decreasing the variation amount and see what happens.
+
+### **Variation Sub Seeding**
+
+Note that the output for each image has a `-V` option giving the "variant
+subseed" for that image, consisting of a seed followed by the variation amount
+used to generate it.
+
+This gives us a series of closely-related variations, including the two shown
+here.
+
+<figure markdown>
+![var2](../assets/variation_walkthru/000002.3647897225.png)
+<figcaption>subseed 3647897225</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<figure markdown>
+![var3](../assets/variation_walkthru/000002.1614299449.png)
+<figcaption>subseed 1614299449</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+I like the expression on Xena's face in the first one (subseed 3647897225), and
+the armor on her shoulder in the second one (subseed 1614299449). Can we combine
+them to get the best of both worlds?
+
+We combine the two variations using `-V` (`--with_variations`). Again, we must
+provide the seed for the originally-chosen image in order for this to work.
+
+```bash
+invoke> "prompt"  -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1
+Outputs:
+./outputs/Xena/000003.1614299449.png: "prompt" -s50 -W512 -H512 -C7.5 -Ak_lms -V 3647897225:0.1,1614299449:0.1 -S3357757885
+```
+
+Here we are providing equal weights (0.1 and 0.1) for both the subseeds. The
+resulting image is close, but not exactly what I wanted:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![var4](../assets/variation_walkthru/000003.1614299449.png)
+<figcaption> subseed 1614299449 </figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+We could either try combining the images with different weights, or we can
+generate more variations around the almost-but-not-quite image. We do the
+latter, using both the `-V` (combining) and `-v` (variation strength) options.
+Note that we use `-n6` to generate 6 variations:
+
+```bash
+invoke> "prompt" -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1 -v0.05 -n6

+```
+
+This produces six images, all slight variations on the combination of the chosen
+two images. Here's the one I like best:

+![var5](../assets/variation_walkthru/000004.3747154981.png)
+<figcaption> subseed 3747154981 </figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+As you can see, this is a very powerful tool, which when combined with subprompt
+weighting, gives you great control over the content and quality of your
+generated images.
+
+## Variations and Samplers
+
+The sampler you choose has a strong effect on variation strength. Some
+samplers, such as `k_euler_a` are very "creative" and produce significant
+amounts of image-to-image variation even when the seed is fixed and the
+`-v` argument is very low. Others are more deterministic. Feel free to
+experiment until you find the combination that you like.
+
+Also be aware of the [Perlin Noise](OTHER.md#thresholding-and-perlin-noise-initialization-options)
+feature, which provides another way of introducing variability into your
+image generation requests.

-# FAQ
-
-!!! info "How to Reinstall"
-
-    Many issues can be resolved by re-installing the application. You won't lose any data by re-installing. We suggest downloading the [latest release](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest) and using it to re-install the application. Consult the [installer guide](../installation/010_INSTALL_AUTOMATED.md) for more information.
-
-    When you run the installer, you'll have an option to select the version to install. If you aren't ready to upgrade, you choose the current version to fix a broken install.
-
-If the troubleshooting steps on this page don't get you up and running, please either [create an issue] or hop on [discord] for help.
-
-## How to Install
-
-You can download the latest installers [here](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases).
-
-Note that any releases marked as _pre-release_ are in a beta state. You may experience some issues, but we appreciate your help testing those! For stable/reliable installations, please install the [latest release].
-
-## Downloading models and using existing models
-
-The Model Manager tab in the UI provides a few ways to install models, including using your already-downloaded models. You'll see a popup directing you there on first startup. For more information, see the [model install docs].
-
-## Missing models after updating to v4
-
-If you find some models are missing after updating to v4, it's likely they weren't correctly registered before the update and didn't get picked up in the migration.
-
-You can use the `Scan Folder` tab in the Model Manager UI to fix this. The models will either be in the old, now-unused `autoimport` folder, or your `models` folder.
-
-- Find and copy your install's old `autoimport` folder path, install the main install folder.
-- Go to the Model Manager and click `Scan Folder`.
-- Paste the path and scan.
-- IMPORTANT: Uncheck `Inplace install`.
-- Click `Install All` to install all found models, or just install the models you want.
-
-Next, find and copy your install's `models` folder path (this could be your custom models folder path, or the `models` folder inside the main install folder).
-
-Follow the same steps to scan and import the missing models.
-
-## Slow generation
-
-- Check the [system requirements] to ensure that your system is capable of generating images.
-- Check the `ram` setting in `invokeai.yaml`. This setting tells Invoke how much of your system RAM can be used to cache models. Having this too high or too low can slow things down. That said, it's generally safest to not set this at all and instead let Invoke manage it.
-- Check the `vram` setting in `invokeai.yaml`. This setting tells Invoke how much of your GPU VRAM can be used to cache models. Counter-intuitively, if this setting is too high, Invoke will need to do a lot of shuffling of models as it juggles the VRAM cache and the currently-loaded model. The default value of 0.25 is generally works well for GPUs without 16GB or more VRAM. Even on a 24GB card, the default works well.
-- Check that your generations are happening on your GPU (if you have one). InvokeAI will log what is being used for generation upon startup. If your GPU isn't used, re-install to ensure the correct versions of torch get installed.
-- If you are on Windows, you may have exceeded your GPU's VRAM capacity and are using slower [shared GPU memory](#shared-gpu-memory-windows). There's a guide to opt out of this behaviour in the linked FAQ entry.
-
-## Shared GPU Memory (Windows)
-
-!!! tip "Nvidia GPUs with driver 536.40"
-
-    This only applies to current Nvidia cards with driver 536.40 or later, released in June 2023.
-
-When the GPU doesn't have enough VRAM for a task, Windows is able to allocate some of its CPU RAM to the GPU. This is much slower than VRAM, but it does allow the system to generate when it otherwise might no have enough VRAM.
-
-When shared GPU memory is used, generation slows down dramatically - but at least it doesn't crash.
-
-If you'd like to opt out of this behavior and instead get an error when you exceed your GPU's VRAM, follow [this guide from Nvidia](https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5490).
-
-Here's how to get the python path required in the linked guide:
-
-- Run `invoke.bat`.
-- Select option 2 for developer console.
-- At least one python path will be printed. Copy the path that includes your invoke installation directory (typically the first).
-
-## Installer cannot find python (Windows)
-
-Ensure that you checked **Add python.exe to PATH** when installing Python. This can be found at the bottom of the Python Installer window. If you already have Python installed, you can re-run the python installer, choose the Modify option and check the box.
-
-## Triton error on startup
-
-This can be safely ignored. InvokeAI doesn't use Triton, but if you are on Linux and wish to dismiss the error, you can install Triton.

-1. Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
-2. Run:`pip install ".[xformers]" --upgrade --force-reinstall --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121`
-   - If you run into an error with `typing_extensions`, re-open the developer console and run: `pip install -U typing-extensions`
-
-Note that v3.4.0 is an old, unsupported version. Please upgrade to the [latest release].
-
-## Install failed and says `pip` is out of date
-
-An out of date `pip` typically won't cause an installation to fail. The cause of the error can likely be found above the message that says `pip` is out of date.
-
-If you saw that warning but the install went well, don't worry about it (but you can update `pip` afterwards if you'd like).
-
-## Replicate image found online
-
-Most example images with prompts that you'll find on the internet have been generated using different software, so you can't expect to get identical results. In order to reproduce an image, you need to replicate the exact settings and processing steps, including (but not limited to) the model, the positive and negative prompts, the seed, the sampler, the exact image size, any upscaling steps, etc.
-
-## OSErrors on Windows while installing dependencies
-
-During a zip file installation or an update, installation stops with an error like this:
-
-![broken-dependency-screenshot](../assets/troubleshooting/broken-dependency.png){:width="800px"}
-
-To resolve this, re-install the application as described above.
-
-## HuggingFace install failed due to invalid access token
-
-Some HuggingFace models require you to authenticate using an [access token].
-
-Invoke doesn't manage this token for you, but it's easy to set it up:
-
-- Follow the instructions in the link above to create an access token. Copy it.
-- Run the launcher script.
-- Select option 2 (developer console).
-- Paste the following command:
-
-  ```sh
-  python -c "import huggingface_hub; huggingface_hub.login()"
-  ```
-
-- Paste your access token when prompted and press Enter. You won't see anything when you paste it.
-- Type `n` if prompted about git credentials.
-
-If you get an error, try the command again - maybe the token didn't paste correctly.
-
-Once your token is set, start Invoke and try downloading the model again. The installer will automatically use the access token.
-
-If the install still fails, you may not have access to the model.
-
-## Stable Diffusion XL generation fails after trying to load UNet
-
-InvokeAI is working in other respects, but when trying to generate
-images with Stable Diffusion XL you get a "Server Error". The text log
-in the launch window contains this log line above several more lines of
-error messages:
-
-`INFO --> Loading model:D:\LONG\PATH\TO\MODEL, type sdxl:main:unet`
-
-This failure mode occurs when there is a network glitch during
-downloading the very large SDXL model.
-
-To address this, first go to the Model Manager and delete the
-Stable-Diffusion-XL-base-1.X model. Then, click the HuggingFace tab,
-paste the Repo ID stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 and install
-the model.
-
-## Package dependency conflicts during installation or update
-
-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.
-
-To resolve this, re-install the application as described above.
-
-## Invalid configuration file
-
-Everything seems to install ok, you get a `ValidationError` when starting up the app.
-
-This is caused by an invalid setting in the `invokeai.yaml` configuration file. The error message should tell you what is wrong.
-
-Check the [configuration docs] for more detail about the settings and how to specify them.
-
-## `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'controlnet_aux'`
-
-`controlnet_aux` is a dependency of Invoke and appears to have been packaged or distributed strangely. Sometimes, it doesn't install correctly. This is outside our control.
-
-If you encounter this error, the solution is to remove the package from the `pip` cache and re-run the Invoke installer so a fresh, working version of `controlnet_aux` can be downloaded and installed:
-
-- Run the Invoke launcher
-- Choose the developer console option
-- Run this command: `pip cache remove controlnet_aux`
-- Close the terminal window
-- Download and run the [installer](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest), selecting your current install location

-## Out of Memory Issues
-
-The models are large, VRAM is expensive, and you may find yourself
-faced with Out of Memory errors when generating images. Here are some
-tips to reduce the problem:
-
-!!! info "Optimizing for GPU VRAM"
-
-    === "4GB VRAM GPU"
-
-        This should be adequate for 512x512 pixel images using Stable Diffusion 1.5
-        and derived models, provided that you do not use the NSFW checker. It won't be loaded unless you go into the UI settings and turn it on.
-
-        If you are on a CUDA-enabled GPU, we will automatically use xformers or torch-sdp to reduce VRAM requirements, though you can explicitly configure this. See the [configuration docs].
-
-    === "6GB VRAM GPU"
-
-        This is a border case. Using the SD 1.5 series you should be able to
-        generate images up to 640x640 with the NSFW checker enabled, and up to
-        1024x1024 with it disabled.
-
-        If you run into persistent memory issues there are a series of
-        environment variables that you can set before launching InvokeAI that
-        alter how the PyTorch machine learning library manages memory. See
-        <https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/cuda.html#memory-management> for
-        a list of these tweaks.
-
-    === "12GB VRAM GPU"
-
-        This should be sufficient to generate larger images up to about 1280x1280.
-
-## Memory Leak (Linux)
-
-If you notice a memory leak, it could be caused to memory fragmentation as models are loaded and/or moved from CPU to GPU.
-
-A workaround is to tune memory allocation with an environment variable:
-
-```bash
-# Force blocks >1MB to be allocated with `mmap` so that they are released to the system immediately when they are freed.
-MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=1048576
-```
-
-!!! warning "Speed vs Memory Tradeoff"
-
-    Your generations may be slower overall when setting this environment variable.
-
-!!! info "Possibly dependent on `libc` implementation"
-
-    It's not known if this issue occurs with other `libc` implementations such as `musl`.
-
-    If you encounter this issue and your system uses a different implementation, please try this environment variable and let us know if it fixes the issue.
-
-<h3>Detailed Discussion</h3>
-
-Python (and PyTorch) relies on the memory allocator from the C Standard Library (`libc`). On linux, with the GNU C Standard Library implementation (`glibc`), our memory access patterns have been observed to cause severe memory fragmentation.
-
-This fragmentation results in large amounts of memory that has been freed but can't be released back to the OS. Loading models from disk and moving them between CPU/CUDA seem to be the operations that contribute most to the fragmentation.
-
-This memory fragmentation issue can result in OOM crashes during frequent model switching, even if `ram` (the max RAM cache size) is set to a reasonable value (e.g. a OOM crash with `ram=16` on a system with 32GB of RAM).
-
-This problem may also exist on other OSes, and other `libc` implementations. But, at the time of writing, it has only been investigated on linux with `glibc`.
-
-To better understand how the `glibc` memory allocator works, see these references:
-
-- Basics: <https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/The-GNU-Allocator.html>
-- Details: <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/MallocInternals>
-
-Note the differences between memory allocated as chunks in an arena vs. memory allocated with `mmap`. Under `glibc`'s default configuration, most model tensors get allocated as chunks in an arena making them vulnerable to the problem of fragmentation.

+
+# :material-frequently-asked-questions: F.A.Q.
+
+## **Frequently-Asked-Questions**
+
+Here are a few common installation problems and their solutions. Often these are
+caused by incomplete installations or crashes during the install process.
+
+---
+
+### During `conda env create`, conda hangs indefinitely
+
+If it is because of the last PIP step (usually stuck in the Git Clone step, you
+can check the detailed log by this method):
+
+```bash
+export PIP_LOG="/tmp/pip_log.txt"
+touch ${PIP_LOG}
+tail -f ${PIP_LOG} &
+conda env create -f environment-mac.yaml --debug --verbose
+killall tail
+rm ${PIP_LOG}
+```
+
+**SOLUTION**
+
+Conda sometimes gets stuck at the last PIP step, in which several git
+repositories are cloned and built.
+
+Enter the stable-diffusion directory and completely remove the `src` directory
+and all its contents. The safest way to do this is to enter the stable-diffusion
+directory and give the command `git clean -f`. If this still doesn't fix the
+problem, try "conda clean -all" and then restart at the `conda env create` step.
+
+To further understand the problem to checking the install lot using this method:
+
+```bash
+export PIP_LOG="/tmp/pip_log.txt"
+touch ${PIP_LOG}
+tail -f ${PIP_LOG} &
+conda env create -f environment-mac.yaml --debug --verbose
+killall tail
+rm ${PIP_LOG}
+```
+
+---
+
+### `invoke.py` crashes with the complaint that it can't find `ldm.simplet2i.py`
+
+Or it complains that function is being passed incorrect parameters.
+
+**SOLUTION**
+
+Reinstall the stable diffusion modules. Enter the `stable-diffusion` directory
+and give the command `pip install -e .`
+
+---
+
+### Missing modules
+
+`invoke.py` dies, complaining of various missing modules, none of which starts
+with `ldm`.
+
+**SOLUTION**
+
+From within the `InvokeAI` directory, run `conda env update` This is also
+frequently the solution to complaints about an unknown function in a module.
+
+---
+
+### How can I try new features
+
+There's a feature or bugfix in the Stable Diffusion GitHub that you want to try
+out.
+
+**SOLUTIONS**
+
+#### **Main Branch**
+
+If the fix/feature is on the `main` branch, enter the stable-diffusion directory
+and do a `git pull`.
+
+Usually this will be sufficient, but if you start to see errors about missing or
+incorrect modules, use the command `pip install -e .` and/or `conda env update`
+(These commands won't break anything.)
+
+`pip install -e .` and/or `conda env update -f environment.yaml`
+
+(These commands won't break anything.)
+
+#### **Sub Branch**
+
+If the feature/fix is on a branch (e.g. "_foo-bugfix_"), the recipe is similar,
+but do a `git pull <name of branch>`.
+
+#### **Not Committed**
+
+If the feature/fix is in a pull request that has not yet been made part of the
+main branch or a feature/bugfix branch, then from the page for the desired pull
+request, look for the line at the top that reads "_xxxx wants to merge xx
+commits into lstein:main from YYYYYY_". Copy the URL in YYYY. It should have the
+format
+
+`https://github.com/<name of contributor>/stable-diffusion/tree/<name of branch>`
+
+Then **go to the directory above stable-diffusion** and rename the directory to
+"_stable-diffusion.lstein_", "_stable-diffusion.old_", or anything else. You can
+then git clone the branch that contains the pull request:
+
+`git clone https://github.com/<name of contributor>/stable-diffusion/tree/<name of branch>`
+
+You will need to go through the install procedure again, but it should be fast
+because all the dependencies are already loaded.
+
+---
+
+### CUDA out of memory
+
+Image generation crashed with CUDA out of memory error after successful
+sampling.
+
+**SOLUTION**
+
+Try to run script with option `--free_gpu_mem` This will free memory before
+image decoding step.

+## :octicons-log-16: Important Changes Since Version 2.3
+
+### Nodes
+
+Behind the scenes, InvokeAI has been completely rewritten to support
+"nodes," small unitary operations that can be combined into graphs to
+form arbitrary workflows. For example, there is a prompt node that
+processes the prompt string and feeds it to a text2latent node that
+generates a latent image. The latents are then fed to a latent2image
+node that translates the latent image into a PNG.
+
+The WebGUI has a node editor that allows you to graphically design and
+execute custom node graphs. The ability to save and load graphs is
+still a work in progress, but coming soon.
+
+### Command-Line Interface Retired
+
+The original "invokeai" command-line interface has been retired. The
+`invokeai` command will now launch a new command-line client that can
+be used by developers to create and test nodes. It is not intended to
+be used for routine image generation or manipulation.
+
+To launch the Web GUI from the command-line, use the command
+`invokeai-web` rather than the traditional `invokeai --web`.
+
+### ControlNet
+
+This version of InvokeAI features ControlNet, a system that allows you
+to achieve exact poses for human and animal figures by providing a
+model to follow. Full details are found in [ControlNet](features/CONTROLNET.md)
+
+### New Schedulers
+
+The list of schedulers has been completely revamped and brought up to date:

-# Automatic Install & Updates
+---
+title: Installing with the Automated Installer
+---
 
-**The same packaged installer file can be used for both new installs and updates.**
-Using the installer for updates will leave everything you've added since installation, and just update the core libraries used to run Invoke.
-Simply use the same path you installed to originally.
+# InvokeAI Automated Installation
 
-Both release and pre-release versions can be installed using the installer. It also supports install through a wheel if needed.
+## Introduction
 
-Be sure to review the [installation requirements] and ensure your system has everything it needs to install Invoke.
+The automated installer is a Python script that automates the steps
+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.
 
-## Getting the Latest Installer
+## Walk through
 
-Download the `InvokeAI-installer-vX.Y.Z.zip` file from the [latest release] page. It is at the bottom of the page, under **Assets**.
+1.  <a name="hardware_requirements">**Hardware Requirements**: </a>Make sure that your system meets the [hardware
+    requirements](../index.md#hardware-requirements) and has the
+    appropriate GPU drivers installed. For a system with an NVIDIA
+    card installed, you will need to install the CUDA driver, while
+    AMD-based cards require the ROCm driver. In most cases, if you've
+    already used the system for gaming or other graphics-intensive
+    tasks, the appropriate drivers will already be installed. If
+    unsure, check the [GPU Driver Guide](030_INSTALL_CUDA_AND_ROCM.md)
 
-After unzipping the installer, you should have a `InvokeAI-Installer` folder with some files inside, including `install.bat` and `install.sh`.
+    !!! info "Required Space"
 
-## Running the Installer
+        Installation requires roughly 18G of free disk space to load
+        the libraries and recommended model weights files.
 
-!!! tip
+        Regardless of your destination disk, your *system drive*
+        (`C:\` on Windows, `/` on macOS/Linux) requires at least 6GB
+        of free disk space to download and cache python
+        dependencies.
 
-    Windows users should first double-click the `WinLongPathsEnabled.reg` file to prevent a failed installation due to long file paths.
+	NOTE for Linux users: if your temporary directory is mounted
+        as a `tmpfs`, ensure it has sufficient space.
 
-Double-click the install script:
+2.  <a name="software_requirements">**Software Requirements**: </a>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.*`, `3.10.*` or `3.11.*` you meet
+    requirements.
 
-=== "Windows"
+    !!! warning "What to do if you have an unsupported version"
 
-    ```sh
-    install.bat
+        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.
+
+    _Please select your platform in the section below for platform-specific
+    setup requirements._
+
+    === "Windows"
+        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/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

+        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.
+
+    === "Linux"
+         To install an appropriate version of Python on Ubuntu 22.04
+         and higher, run the following:
+
+         ```
+         sudo apt update
+         sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv
+         sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.10 3
+         ```
+
+         On Ubuntu 20.04, the process is slightly different:
+
+         ```
+         sudo apt update
+         sudo apt install -y software-properties-common
+         sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
+         sudo apt install -y python3.10 python3-pip python3.10-venv
+         sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.10 3
+         ```
+
+         Both `python` and `python3` commands are now pointing at
+         Python3.10. You can still access older versions of Python by
+         calling `python2`, `python3.8`, etc.
+
+         Linux systems require a couple of additional graphics
+         libraries to be installed for proper functioning of
+         `python3-opencv`. Please run the following:
+
+         `sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libglib2.0-0 libgl1-mesa-glx`
+
+    === "Mac"
+
+        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 at [FreeCode Camp](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/install-xcode-command-line-tools/)
+
+3.  **Download the Installer**: The InvokeAI installer is distributed as a ZIP files. Go to the
+    [latest release](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest),
+    and look for a file named:
+
+    - InvokeAI-installer-v3.X.X.zip
+
+    where "3.X.X" is the latest released version. The file is located
+    at the very bottom of the release page, under **Assets**.
+
+4.  **Unpack the installer**: Unpack the zip file into a convenient directory. This will create a new
+    directory named "InvokeAI-Installer". When unpacked, the directory
+    will look like this:
+
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![zipfile-screenshot](../assets/installer-walkthrough/unpacked-zipfile.png)
+    </figure>
+
+5.  **Launch the installer script from the desktop**: If you are using a desktop GUI, double-click the installer file
+    appropriate for your platform. It will be named `install.bat` on
+    Windows systems and `install.sh` on Linux and Macintosh
+    systems. Be aware that your system's file browser may suppress the
+    display of the file extension.
+
+    On Windows systems if you get an "Untrusted Publisher" warning.
+    Click on "More Info" and then select "Run Anyway." You trust us, right?
+
+6.  **[Alternative] Launch the installer script from the command line**: 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
     ```
 
-=== "Linux/macOS"
+7.  **Select the location to install InvokeAI**: 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.
 
-    ```sh
-    install.sh
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![confirm-install-directory-screenshot](../assets/installer-walkthrough/confirm-directory.png)
+    </figure>
+
+    - 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.
+
+    -If you have previously installed InvokeAI, you will be asked to
+     confirm whether you want to reinstall into this directory.  You
+     may choose to reinstall, in which case your version will be upgraded,
+     or choose a different directory.
+
+    - 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.
+
+8.  **Select your GPU**: The installer will autodetect your platform and will request you to
+    confirm the type of GPU your graphics card has. On Linux systems,
+    you will have the choice of CUDA (NVidia cards), ROCm (AMD cards),
+    or CPU (no graphics acceleration). On Windows, you'll have the
+    choice of CUDA vs CPU, and on Macs you'll be offered CPU only. When
+    you select CPU on M1 or M2 Macintoshes, you will get MPS-based
+    graphics acceleration without installing additional drivers. If you
+    are unsure what GPU you are using, you can ask the installer to
+    guess.
+
+9.  **Watch it go!**: Sit back and let the install script work. It will install the third-party
+    libraries needed by InvokeAI and the application itself.
+
+    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.
+
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![initial-settings-screenshot](../assets/installer-walkthrough/settings-form.png)
+    </figure>
+
+10. **Post-install Configuration**: After installation completes, the
+    installer will launch the configuration form, which will guide you
+    through the first-time process of adjusting some of InvokeAI's
+    startup settings. To move around this form use ctrl-N for
+    &lt;N&gt;ext and ctrl-P for &lt;P&gt;revious, or use &lt;tab&gt;
+    and shift-&lt;tab&gt; to move forward and back. Once you are in a
+    multi-checkbox field use the up and down cursor keys to select the
+    item you want, and &lt;space&gt; to toggle it on and off.  Within
+    a directory field, pressing &lt;tab&gt; will provide autocomplete
+    options.
+
+    Generally the defaults are fine, and you can come back to this screen at
+    any time to tweak your system. Here are the options you can adjust:
+
+    - ***HuggingFace Access Token***
+      InvokeAI has the ability to download embedded styles and subjects
+      from the HuggingFace Concept Library on-demand. However, some of
+      the concept library files are password protected. To make download
+      smoother, you can set up an account at huggingface.co, obtain an
+      access token, and paste it into this field. Note that you paste
+      to this screen using ctrl-shift-V
+
+    - ***Free GPU memory after each generation***
+        This is useful for low-memory machines and helps minimize the
+	amount of GPU VRAM used by InvokeAI.
+
+    - ***Enable xformers support if available***
+        If the xformers library was successfully installed, this will activate
+	it to reduce memory consumption and increase rendering speed noticeably.
+	Note that xformers has the side effect of generating slightly different
+	images even when presented with the same seed and other settings.
+
+    - ***Force CPU to be used on GPU systems***
+        This will use the (slow) CPU rather than the accelerated GPU. This
+	can be used to generate images on systems that don't have a compatible
+	GPU.
+
+    - ***Precision***
+        This controls whether to use float32 or float16 arithmetic.
+	float16 uses less memory but is also slightly less accurate.
+	Ordinarily the right arithmetic is picked automatically ("auto"),
+	but you may have to use float32 to get images on certain systems
+	and graphics cards. The "autocast" option is deprecated and
+	shouldn't be used unless you are asked to by a member of the team.
+
+    - **Size of the RAM cache used for fast model switching***
+        This allows you to keep models in memory and switch rapidly among
+	them rather than having them load from disk each time. This slider
+	controls how many models to keep loaded at once. A typical SD-1 or SD-2 model
+	uses 2-3 GB of memory. A typical SDXL model uses 6-7 GB. Providing more
+	RAM will allow more models to be co-resident.
+
+    - ***Output directory for images***
+      This is the path to a directory in which InvokeAI will store all its
+      generated images.
+
+    - ***Autoimport Folder***
+      This is the directory in which you can place models you have
+	  downloaded and wish to load into InvokeAI. You can place a variety
+	  of models in this directory, including diffusers folders, .ckpt files,
+	  .safetensors files, as well as LoRAs, ControlNet and Textual Inversion
+	  files (both folder and file versions). To help organize this folder,
+	  you can create several levels of subfolders and drop your models into
+      whichever ones you want.
+	
+    - ***LICENSE***     
+
+    At the bottom of the screen you will see a checkbox for accepting
+    the CreativeML Responsible AI Licenses. You need to accept the license
+    in order to download Stable Diffusion models from the next screen.
+
+    _You can come back to the startup options form_ as many times as you like.
+    From the `invoke.sh` or `invoke.bat` launcher, select option (6) to relaunch
+    this script. On the command line, it is named `invokeai-configure`.
+
+11. **Downloading Models**: After you press `[NEXT]` on the screen, you will be taken
+    to another screen that prompts you to download a series of starter models. The ones
+    we recommend are preselected for you, but you are encouraged to use the checkboxes to
+    pick and choose.
+    You will probably wish to download `autoencoder-840000` for use with models that
+    were trained with an older version of the Stability VAE.
+
+    <figure markdown>
+    ![select-models-screenshot](../assets/installer-walkthrough/installing-models.png)
+    </figure>
+    
+    Below the preselected list of starter models is a large text field which you can use
+    to specify a series of models to import. You can specify models in a variety of formats,
+    each separated by a space or newline. The formats accepted are:
+
+    - The path to a .ckpt or .safetensors file. On most systems, you can drag a file from
+      the file browser to the textfield to automatically paste the path. Be sure to remove
+      extraneous quotation marks and other things that come along for the ride.
+
+    - The path to a directory containing a combination of `.ckpt` and `.safetensors` files.
+      The directory will be scanned from top to bottom (including subfolders) and any
+      file that can be imported will be.
+
+    - A URL pointing to a `.ckpt` or `.safetensors` file. You can cut
+      and paste directly from a web page, or simply drag the link from the web page
+      or navigation bar. (You can also use ctrl-shift-V to paste into this field)
+      The file will be downloaded and installed.
+      
+    - The HuggingFace repository ID (repo_id) for a `diffusers` model. These IDs have
+       the format _author_name/model_name_, as in `andite/anything-v4.0`
+      
+    - The path to a local directory containing a `diffusers`
+      model. These directories always have the file `model_index.json`
+      at their top level.
+
+    _Select a directory for models to import_ You may select a local
+    directory for autoimporting at startup time. If you select this
+    option, the directory you choose will be scanned for new
+    .ckpt/.safetensors files each time InvokeAI starts up, and any new
+    files will be automatically imported and made available for your
+    use.
+
+    _Convert imported models into diffusers_ When legacy checkpoint
+    files are imported, you may select to use them unmodified (the
+    default) or to convert them into `diffusers` models. The latter
+    load much faster and have slightly better rendering performance,
+    but not all checkpoint files can be converted. Note that Stable Diffusion
+    Version 2.X files are **only** supported in `diffusers` format and will
+    be converted regardless.
+     
+     _You can come back to the model install form_ as many times as you like.
+     From the `invoke.sh` or `invoke.bat` launcher, select option (5) to relaunch
+     this script. On the command line, it is named `invokeai-model-install`.
+
+12. **Running InvokeAI for the first time**: 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
     ```
 
-!!! info "Running the Installer from the commandline"
+    - The `invoke.bat` (`invoke.sh`) script will give you the choice
+      of starting (1) the command-line interface, (2) the web GUI, (3)
+      textual inversion training, and (4) model merging.
 
-    You can also run the install script from cmd/powershell (Windows) or terminal (Linux/macOS).
+    - By default, the script will launch the web interface. When you
+      do this, you'll see a series of startup messages ending with
+      instructions to point your browser at
+      http://localhost:9090. Click on this link to open up a browser
+      and start exploring InvokeAI's features.
 
-!!! warning "Untrusted Publisher (Windows)"
+12. **InvokeAI Options**: 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 balance memory usage vs performance. See
+    [Configuration](../features/CONFIGURATION.md) for a full list of the options.
 
-    You may get a popup saying the file comes from an `Untrusted Publisher`. Click `More Info` and `Run Anyway` to get past this.
+    - 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.
 
-The installation process is simple, with a few prompts:
+    - The launcher script also offers you an 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.
 
-- Select the version to install. Unless you have a specific reason to install a specific version, select the default (the latest version).
-- Select location for the install. Be sure you have enough space in this folder for the base application, as described in the [installation requirements].
-- Select a GPU device.
 
-!!! info "Slow Installation"
+    !!! warning "Do not move or remove the `invokeai` directory"
+      
+        The `invokeai` directory contains the `invokeai` application, its
+        configuration files, the model weight files, and outputs of image generation.
+        Once InvokeAI is installed, do not move or remove this directory."
 
-    The installer needs to download several GB of data and install it all. It may appear to get stuck at 99.9% when installing `pytorch` or during a step labeled "Installing collected packages".
 
-    If it is stuck for over 10 minutes, something has probably gone wrong and you should close the window and restart.
+<a name="troubleshooting"></a>
+## Troubleshooting
 
-## Running the Application
+### _OSErrors on Windows while installing dependencies_
 
-Find the install location you selected earlier. Double-click the launcher script to run the app:
+During a zip file installation or an online update, installation stops
+with an error like this:
 
-=== "Windows"
+![broken-dependency-screenshot](../assets/troubleshooting/broken-dependency.png){:width="800px"}
 
-    ```sh
-    invoke.bat
-    ```
+This seems to happen particularly often with the `pydantic` and
+`numpy` packages. The most reliable solution requires several manual
+steps to complete installation.
 
-=== "Linux/macOS"
+Open up a Powershell window and navigate to the `invokeai` directory
+created by the installer. Then give the following series of commands:
 
-    ```sh
-    invoke.sh
-    ```
-
-Choose the first option to run the UI. After a series of startup messages, you'll see something like this:
-
-```
-Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:9090 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
+```cmd
+rm .\.venv -r -force
+python -mvenv .venv
+.\.venv\Scripts\activate
+pip install invokeai
+invokeai-configure --yes --root .
 ```
 
-Copy the URL into your browser and you should see the UI.
+If you see anything marked as an error during this process please stop
+and seek help on the Discord [installation support
+channel](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1041391462190956654). A
+few warning messages are OK.
 
-## First-time Setup
+If you are updating from a previous version, this should restore your
+system to a working state. If you are installing from scratch, there
+is one additional command to give:
 
-You will need to [install some models] before you can generate.
+```cmd
+wget -O invoke.bat https://raw.githubusercontent.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/main/installer/templates/invoke.bat.in
+```
 
-Check the [configuration docs] for details on configuring the application.
+This will create the `invoke.bat` script needed to launch InvokeAI and
+its related programs.
 
-## Updating
 
-Updating is exactly the same as installing - download the latest installer, choose the latest version and off you go.
+### _Stable Diffusion XL Generation Fails after Trying to Load unet_
 
-!!! info "Dependency Resolution Issues"
+InvokeAI is working in other respects, but when trying to generate
+images with Stable Diffusion XL you get a "Server Error". The text log
+in the launch window contains this log line above several more lines of
+error messages:
 
-    We've found that pip's dependency resolution can cause issues when upgrading packages. One very common problem was pip "downgrading" torch from CUDA to CPU, but things broke in other novel ways.
+```INFO --> Loading model:D:\LONG\PATH\TO\MODEL, type sdxl:main:unet```
 
-    The installer doesn't have this kind of problem, so we use it for updating as well.
+This failure mode occurs when there is a network glitch during
+downloading the very large SDXL model.
 
-## Installation Issues
+To address this, first go to the Web Model Manager and delete the
+Stable-Diffusion-XL-base-1.X model. Then navigate to HuggingFace and
+manually download the .safetensors version of the model. The 1.0
+version is located at
+https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0/tree/main
+and the file is named `sd_xl_base_1.0.safetensors`.
 
-If you have installation issues, please review the [FAQ]. You can also [create an issue] or ask for help on [discord].
+Save this file to disk and then reenter the Model Manager. Navigate to
+Import Models->Add Model, then type (or drag-and-drop) the path to the
+.safetensors file. Press "Add Model".

+### _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. In this case, run the `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat`
+command and enter the Developer's Console by picking option (5). This
+will take you to a command-line prompt.
+
+Then give this command:
+
+`pip install InvokeAI --force-reinstall`
+
+This should fix the issues.
+
+### InvokeAI runs extremely slowly on Linux or Windows systems
+
+The most frequent cause of this problem is when the installation
+process installed the CPU-only version of the torch machine-learning
+library, rather than a version that takes advantage of GPU
+acceleration. To confirm this issue, look at the InvokeAI startup
+messages. If you see a message saying ">> Using device CPU", then
+this is what happened.
+
+To fix this problem, first determine whether you have an NVidia or an
+AMD GPU. The former uses the CUDA driver, and the latter uses ROCm
+(only available on Linux). Then run the `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat`
+command and enter the Developer's Console by picking option (5). This
+will take you to a command-line prompt.
+
+Then type the following commands:
+
+=== "NVIDIA System"
+    ```bash
+    pip install torch torchvision --force-reinstall --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+    pip install xformers
+    ```
+
+=== "AMD System"
+    ```bash
+    pip install torch torchvision --force-reinstall --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2
+    ```
+
+### Corrupted configuration file
+
+Everything seems to install ok, but `invokeai` 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
+`invokeai-configure`. Enter the developer's console (option 3 of the launcher
+script) and run this command:
+
+```cmd
+invokeai-configure --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.
+
+### Out of Memory Issues
+
+The models are large, VRAM is expensive, and you may find yourself
+faced with Out of Memory errors when generating images. Here are some
+tips to reduce the problem:
+
+* **4 GB of VRAM**
+
+This should be adequate for 512x512 pixel images using Stable Diffusion 1.5
+and derived models, provided that you **disable** the NSFW checker. To
+disable the filter, do one of the following:
+
+   * Select option (6) "_change InvokeAI startup options_" from the
+     launcher. This will bring up the console-based startup settings
+     dialogue and allow you to unselect the "NSFW Checker" option.
+   * Start the startup settings dialogue directly by running
+     `invokeai-configure --skip-sd-weights --skip-support-models`
+     from the command line.
+   * Find the `invokeai.init` initialization file in the InvokeAI root
+     directory, open it in a text editor, and change `--nsfw_checker`
+     to `--no-nsfw_checker`
+
+If you are on a CUDA system, you can realize significant memory
+savings by activating the `xformers` library as described above. The
+downside is `xformers` introduces non-deterministic behavior, such
+that images generated with exactly the same prompt and settings will
+be slightly different from each other. See above for more information.
+
+* **6 GB of VRAM**
+
+This is a border case. Using the SD 1.5 series you should be able to
+generate images up to 640x640 with the NSFW checker enabled, and up to
+1024x1024 with it disabled and `xformers` activated. 
+
+If you run into persistent memory issues there are a series of
+environment variables that you can set before launching InvokeAI that
+alter how the PyTorch machine learning library manages memory.  See
+https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/cuda.html#memory-management for
+a list of these tweaks.
+
+* **12 GB of VRAM**
+
+This should be sufficient to generate larger images up to about
+1280x1280. If you wish to push further, consider activating
+`xformers`.

+### Other Problems

 ## Introduction
 
-InvokeAI is distributed as a python package on PyPI, installable with `pip`. There are a few things that are handled by the installer and launcher that you'll need to manage manually, described in this guide.
+!!! tip "Conda"
+    As of InvokeAI v2.3.0 installation using the `conda` package manager is no longer being supported. It will likely still work, but we are not testing this installation method.
 
-### Requirements
+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.
 
-Before you start, go through the [installation requirements](./INSTALL_REQUIREMENTS.md).
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you start, make sure you have the following preqrequisites
+installed.  These are described in more detail in [Automated
+Installation](010_INSTALL_AUTOMATED.md), and in many cases will
+already be installed (if, for example, you have used your system for
+gaming):
+
+* **Python**
+
+    version 3.9 through 3.11
+
+* **CUDA Tools**
+
+    For those with _NVidia GPUs_, you will need to
+    install the [CUDA toolkit and optionally the XFormers library](070_INSTALL_XFORMERS.md).
+
+* **ROCm Tools**
+
+    For _Linux users with AMD GPUs_, you will need
+    to install the [ROCm toolkit](./030_INSTALL_CUDA_AND_ROCM.md). Note that
+    InvokeAI does not support AMD GPUs on Windows systems due to
+    lack of a Windows ROCm library.
+
+* **Visual C++ Libraries**
+
+    _Windows users_ must install the free
+    [Visual C++ libraries from Microsoft](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
+
+* **The Xcode command line tools**
+
+    for _Macintosh users_. Instructions are available at
+    [Free Code Camp](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/install-xcode-command-line-tools/)
+
+    * _Macintosh users_ may also need to run the `Install Certificates` command
+      if model downloads give lots of certificate errors. Run:
+      `/Applications/Python\ 3.10/Install\ Certificates.command`
 
 ### Installation Walkthrough
 
-1. Create a directory to contain your InvokeAI library, configuration
+To install InvokeAI with virtual environments and the PIP package
+manager, please follow these steps:
+
+1.  Please make sure you are using Python 3.9 through 3.11. The rest of the install
+    procedure depends on this and will not work with other versions:
+
+    ```bash
+    python -V
+    ```
+
+2.  Create a directory to contain your InvokeAI library, configuration
     files, and models. This is known as the "runtime" or "root"
     directory, and often lives in your home directory under the name `invokeai`.
 
-    We will refer to this directory as `INVOKEAI_ROOT`. For convenience, create an environment variable pointing to the directory.
+    Please keep in mind the disk space requirements - you will need at
+    least 20GB for the models and the virtual environment.  From now
+    on we will refer to this directory as `INVOKEAI_ROOT`. For convenience,
+    the steps below create a shell variable of that name which contains the
+    path to `HOME/invokeai`.

         mkdir $INVOKEAI_ROOT
         ```
 
-1. Enter the root (invokeai) directory and create a virtual Python environment within it named `.venv`.
-
-    !!! warning "Virtual Environment Location"
-
-        While you may create the virtual environment anywhere in the file system, we recommend that you create it within the root directory as shown here. This allows the application to automatically detect its data directories.
-
-        If you choose a different location for the venv, then you _must_ set the `INVOKEAI_ROOT` environment variable or specify the root directory using the `--root` CLI arg.
+3. Enter the root (invokeai) directory and create a virtual Python
+   environment within it named `.venv`. If the command `python`
+   doesn't work, try `python3`. Note that while you may create the
+   virtual environment anywhere in the file system, we recommend that
+   you create it within the root directory as shown here. This makes
+   it possible for the InvokeAI applications to find the model data
+   and configuration. If you do not choose to install the virtual
+   environment inside the root directory, then you **must** set the
+   `INVOKEAI_ROOT` environment variable in your shell environment, for
+   example, by editing `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` files, or setting the
+   Windows environment variable using the Advanced System Settings dialogue.
+   Refer to your operating system documentation for details.

-1. Run the application:
+8.  Set up the runtime directory
 
-    Run `invokeai-web` to start the UI. You must activate the virtual environment before running the app.
+    In this step you will initialize your runtime directory with the downloaded
+    models, model config files, directory for textual inversion embeddings, and
+    your outputs.
+

+
+    The script `invokeai-configure` 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.
+
+    !!! 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 [Installing Models](050_INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
+
+9.  Run the command-line- or the web- interface:
+
+    From within INVOKEAI_ROOT, activate the environment
+    (with `source .venv/bin/activate` or `.venv\scripts\activate`), and then run
+    the script `invokeai`. If the virtual environment you selected is NOT inside
+    INVOKEAI_ROOT, then you must specify the path to the root directory by adding
+    `--root_dir \path\to\invokeai` to the commands below:

+
+    !!! tip
+
+        You can permanently set the location of the runtime directory
+        by setting the environment variable `INVOKEAI_ROOT` to the
+        path of the directory. As mentioned previously, this is
+        *highly recommended** if your virtual environment is located outside of
+        your runtime directory.
+
+10.  Render away!
+
+    Browse the [features](../features/index.md) section to learn about all the
+    things you can do with InvokeAI.
+
+
+11.  Subsequently, to relaunch the script, activate the virtual environment, and
+    then launch `invokeai` command. If you forget to activate the virtual
+    environment you will most likeley receive a `command not found` error.
 
     !!! warning
 
-        If the virtual environment is _not_ inside the root directory, then you _must_ specify the path to the root directory with `--root \path\to\invokeai` or the `INVOKEAI_ROOT` environment variable.
+        Do not move the runtime directory after installation. The virtual environment will get confused if the directory is moved.
+
+12. Other scripts
+
+    The [Textual Inversion](../features/TRAINING.md) script can be launched with the command:
+
+    ```bash
+    invokeai-ti --gui
+    ```
+
+    Similarly, the [Model Merging](../features/MODEL_MERGING.md) script can be launched with the command:
+
+    ```bash
+    invokeai-merge --gui
+    ```
+
+    Leave off the `--gui` option to run the script using command-line arguments. Pass the `--help` argument
+    to get usage instructions.
+
+## Developer Install
+
+If you have an interest in how InvokeAI works, or you would like to
+add features or bugfixes, you are encouraged to install the source
+code for InvokeAI. For this to work, you will need to install the
+`git` source code management program. If it is not already installed
+on your system, please see the [Git Installation
+Guide](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git)
+
+You will also need to install the [frontend development toolchain](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/contributing/contribution_guides/contributingToFrontend.md).
+
+If you have a "normal" installation, you should create a totally separate virtual environment for the git-based installation, else the two may interfere.
+
+> **Why do I need the frontend toolchain**?
+>
+> The InvokeAI project uses trunk-based development. That means our `main` branch is the development branch, and releases are tags on that branch. Because development is very active, we don't keep an updated build of the UI in `main` - we only build it for production releases.
+>
+> That means that between releases, to have a functioning application when running directly from the repo, you will need to run the UI in dev mode or build it regularly (any time the UI code changes).
+
+1. Create a fork of the InvokeAI repository through the GitHub UI or [this link](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/fork) 
+2. From the command line, run this command:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/<your_github_username>/InvokeAI.git
+   ```
+
+    This will create a directory named `InvokeAI` and populate it with the
+    full source code from your fork of the InvokeAI repository.
+
+3. Activate the InvokeAI virtual environment as per step (4) of the manual
+installation protocol (important!)
+
+4. Enter the InvokeAI repository directory and run one of these
+   commands, based on your GPU:
+
+    === "CUDA (NVidia)"
+        ```bash
+        pip install -e .[xformers] --use-pep517 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+        ```
+
+    === "ROCm (AMD)"
+        ```bash
+        pip install -e . --use-pep517 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2
+        ```
+
+    === "CPU (Intel Macs & non-GPU systems)"
+        ```bash
+        pip install -e . --use-pep517 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
+        ```
+
+    === "MPS (M1 and M2 Macs)"
+        ```bash
+        pip install -e . --use-pep517
+        ```
+
+    Be sure to pass `-e` (for an editable install) and don't forget the
+    dot ("."). It is part of the command.
+
+5.  Install the [frontend toolchain](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/contributing/contribution_guides/contributingToFrontend.md) and do a production build of the UI as described.
+
+6.  You can now run `invokeai` and its related commands. The code will be
+    read from the repository, so that you can edit the .py source files
+    and watch the code's behavior change.
+
+    When you pull in new changes to the repo, be sure to re-build the UI.
+
+7.  If you wish to contribute to the InvokeAI project, you are
+    encouraged to establish a GitHub account and "fork"
+    https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI into your own copy of the
+    repository. You can then use GitHub functions to create and submit
+    pull requests to contribute improvements to the project.
+
+    Please see [Contributing](../index.md#contributing) for hints
+    on getting started.
+
+### Unsupported Conda Install
+
+Congratulations, you found the "secret" Conda installation
+instructions. If you really **really** want to use Conda with InvokeAI
+you can do so using this unsupported recipe:
+
+```
+mkdir ~/invokeai
+conda create -n invokeai python=3.10
+conda activate invokeai
+pip install InvokeAI[xformers] --use-pep517 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+invokeai-configure --root ~/invokeai
+invokeai --root ~/invokeai --web
+```
+
+The `pip install` command shown in this recipe is for Linux/Windows
+systems with an NVIDIA GPU. See step (6) above for the command to use
+with other platforms/GPU combinations. If you don't wish to pass the
+`--root` argument to `invokeai` with each launch, you may set the
+environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT to point to the installation directory.
+
+Note that if you run into problems with the Conda installation, the InvokeAI
+staff will **not** be able to help you out. Caveat Emptor!

+
+In order for InvokeAI to run at full speed, you will need a graphics
+card with a supported GPU. InvokeAI supports NVidia cards via the CUDA
+driver on Windows and Linux, and AMD cards via the ROCm driver on Linux.
+
+## :simple-nvidia: CUDA
+
+### Linux and Windows Install
+
+If you have used your system for other graphics-intensive tasks, such
+as gaming, you may very well already have the CUDA drivers
+installed. To confirm, open up a command-line window and type:
+
+```
+nvidia-smi
+```
+
+If this command produces a status report on the GPU(s) installed on
+your system, CUDA is installed and you have no more work to do. If
+instead you get "command not found", or similar, then the driver will
+need to be installed.
+
+We strongly recommend that you install the CUDA Toolkit package
+directly from NVIDIA. **Do not try to install Ubuntu's
+nvidia-cuda-toolkit package. It is out of date and will cause
+conflicts among the NVIDIA driver and binaries.**
+
+Go to [CUDA Toolkit
+Downloads](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads), and use the
+target selection wizard to choose your operating system, hardware
+platform, and preferred installation method (e.g. "local" versus
+"network").
+
+This will provide you with a downloadable install file or, depending
+on your choices, a recipe for downloading and running a install shell
+script. Be sure to read and follow the full installation instructions.
+
+After an install that seems successful, you can confirm by again
+running `nvidia-smi` from the command line.
+
+### Linux Install with a Runtime Container
+
+On Linux systems, an alternative to installing CUDA Toolkit directly on
+your system is to run an NVIDIA software container that has the CUDA
+libraries already in place. This is recommended if you are already 
+familiar with containerization technologies such as Docker.
+
+For downloads and instructions, visit the [NVIDIA CUDA Container
+Runtime Site](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-container-runtime)
+
+### cuDNN Installation for 40/30 Series Optimization* (Optional)
+
+1. Find the InvokeAI folder
+2. Click on .venv folder - e.g., YourInvokeFolderHere\\.venv
+3. Click on Lib folder - e.g., YourInvokeFolderHere\\.venv\Lib
+4. Click on site-packages folder - e.g., YourInvokeFolderHere\\.venv\Lib\site-packages
+5. Click on Torch directory - e.g., YourInvokeFolderHere\InvokeAI\\.venv\Lib\site-packages\torch
+6. Click on the lib folder - e.g., YourInvokeFolderHere\\.venv\Lib\site-packages\torch\lib
+7. Copy everything inside the folder and save it elsewhere as a backup.
+8. Go to __https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn__
+9. Login or create an Account. 
+10. Choose the newer version of cuDNN. **Note:** 
+There are two versions, 11.x or 12.x for the differents architectures(Turing,Maxwell Etc...) of GPUs.
+You can find which version you should download from [this link](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/cudnn/support-matrix/index.html).
+13. Download the latest version and extract it from the download location
+14. Find the bin folder E\cudnn-windows-x86_64-__Whatever Version__\bin
+15. Copy and paste the .dll files into YourInvokeFolderHere\\.venv\Lib\site-packages\torch\lib **Make sure to copy, and not move the files**
+16. If prompted, replace any existing files 
+
+**Notes:** 
+* If no change is seen or any issues are encountered, follow the same steps as above and paste the torch/lib backup folder you made earlier and replace it. If you didn't make a backup, you can also uninstall and reinstall torch through the command line to repair this folder. 
+* This optimization is  intended for the newer version of graphics card (40/30 series) but results have been seen with older graphics card.
+
+
+### Torch Installation
+
+When installing torch and torchvision manually with `pip`, remember to provide
+the argument `--extra-index-url
+https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118` as described in the [Manual
+Installation Guide](020_INSTALL_MANUAL.md).
+
+## :simple-amd: ROCm
+
+### Linux Install
+
+AMD GPUs are only supported on Linux platforms due to the lack of a
+Windows ROCm driver at the current time. Also be aware that support
+for newer AMD GPUs is spotty. Your mileage may vary.
+
+It is possible that the ROCm driver is already installed on your
+machine. To test, open up a terminal window and issue the following
+command:
+
+```
+rocm-smi
+```
+
+If you get a table labeled "ROCm System Management Interface" the
+driver is installed and you are done. If you get "command not found,"
+then the driver needs to be installed.
+
+Go to AMD's [ROCm Downloads
+Guide](https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation_new.html#installation-methods)
+and scroll to the _Installation Methods_ section. Find the subsection
+for the install method for your preferred Linux distribution, and
+issue the commands given in the recipe.
+
+Annoyingly, the official AMD site does not have a recipe for the most
+recent version of Ubuntu, 22.04. However, this [community-contributed
+recipe](https://novaspirit.github.io/amdgpu-rocm-ubu22/) is reported
+to work well.
+
+After installation, please run `rocm-smi` a second time to confirm
+that the driver is present and the GPU is recognized. You may need to
+do a reboot in order to load the driver.
+
+### Linux Install with a ROCm-docker Container
+
+If you are comfortable with the Docker containerization system, then
+you can build a ROCm docker file. The source code and installation
+recipes are available
+[Here](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-docker/blob/master/quick-start.md)
+
+### Torch Installation
+
+When installing torch and torchvision manually with `pip`, remember to provide
+the argument `--extra-index-url
+https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2` as described in the [Manual
+Installation Guide](020_INSTALL_MANUAL.md).
+
+This will be done automatically for you if you use the installer
+script.
+
+Be aware that the torch machine learning library does not seamlessly
+interoperate with all AMD GPUs and you may experience garbled images,
+black images, or long startup delays before rendering commences. Most
+of these issues can be solved by Googling for workarounds. If you have
+a problem and find a solution, please post an
+[Issue](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) so that other
+users benefit and we can update this document.

-    Docker can not access the GPU on macOS, so your generation speeds will be slow. [Install InvokeAI](INSTALLATION.md) instead.
+    We highly recommend to Install InvokeAI locally using [these instructions](INSTALLATION.md)
 
-!!! tip "Linux and Windows Users"
+!!! tip "For developers"
 
-    Configure Docker to access your machine's GPU.
-    Docker Desktop on Windows [includes GPU support](https://www.docker.com/blog/wsl-2-gpu-support-for-docker-desktop-on-nvidia-gpus/).
-    Linux users should follow the [NVIDIA](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html) or [AMD](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/how-to/docker.html) documentation.
+    For container-related development tasks or for enabling easy
+    deployment to other environments (on-premises or cloud), follow these
+    instructions.
 
-## TL;DR
+    For general use, install locally to leverage your machine's GPU.
 
-Ensure your Docker setup is able to use your GPU. Then:
+## Why containers?
 
-    ```bash
-    docker run --runtime=nvidia --gpus=all --publish 9090:9090 ghcr.io/invoke-ai/invokeai
-    ```
+They provide a flexible, reliable way to build and deploy InvokeAI. You'll also
+use a Docker volume to store the largest model files and image outputs as a
+first step in decoupling storage and compute. Future enhancements can do this
+for other assets. See [Processes](https://12factor.net/processes) under the
+Twelve-Factor App methodology for details on why running applications in such a
+stateless fashion is important.
 
-Once the container starts up, open http://localhost:9090 in your browser, install some models, and start generating.
+You can specify the target platform when building the image and running the
+container. You'll also need to specify the InvokeAI requirements file that
+matches the container's OS and the architecture it will run on.
 
-## Build-It-Yourself
+Developers on Apple silicon (M1/M2): You
+[can't access your GPU cores from Docker containers](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/81224)
+and performance is reduced compared with running it directly on macOS but for
+development purposes it's fine. Once you're done with development tasks on your
+laptop you can build for the target platform and architecture and deploy to
+another environment with NVIDIA GPUs on-premises or in the cloud.
 
-All the docker materials are located inside the [docker](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/tree/main/docker) directory in the Git repo.

 #### Build the Image
 
-Use the standard `docker compose build` command from within the `docker` directory.
+I provided a build script, which is located next to the Dockerfile in
+`docker/build.sh`. It can be executed from repository root like this:
 
-If using an AMD GPU:
-    a: set the `GPU_DRIVER=rocm` environment variable in `docker-compose.yml` and continue using `docker compose build` as usual, or
-    b: set `GPU_DRIVER=rocm` in the `.env` file and use the `build.sh` script, provided for convenience
+```bash
+./docker/build.sh
+```
+
+The build Script not only builds the container, but also creates the docker
+volume if not existing yet.
 
 #### Run the Container
 
-Use the standard `docker compose up` command, and generally the `docker compose` [CLI](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/) as usual.
+After the build process is done, you can run the container via the provided
+`docker/run.sh` script
 
-Once the container starts up (and configures the InvokeAI root directory if this is a new installation), you can access InvokeAI at [http://localhost:9090](http://localhost:9090)
+```bash
+./docker/run.sh
+```
 
-## Troubleshooting / FAQ
+When used without arguments, the container will start the webserver and provide
+you the link to open it. But if you want to use some other parameters you can
+also do so.
 
-- Q: I am running on Windows under WSL2, and am seeing a "no such file or directory" error.
-- A: Your `docker-entrypoint.sh` might have has Windows (CRLF) line endings, depending how you cloned the repository.
-    To solve this, change the line endings in the `docker-entrypoint.sh` file to `LF`. You can do this in VSCode
-    (`Ctrl+P` and search for "line endings"), or by using the `dos2unix` utility in WSL.
-    Finally, you may delete `docker-entrypoint.sh` followed by  `git pull; git checkout docker/docker-entrypoint.sh`
-    to reset the file to its most recent version.
-    For more information on this issue, see [Docker Desktop documentation](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/troubleshoot/topics/#avoid-unexpected-syntax-errors-use-unix-style-line-endings-for-files-in-containers)
+!!! example "run script example"
+
+    ```bash
+    ./docker/run.sh "banana sushi" -Ak_lms -S42 -s10
+    ```
+
+    This would generate the legendary "banana sushi" with Seed 42, k_lms Sampler and 10 steps.

+
+## Running the container on your GPU
+
+If you have an Nvidia GPU, you can enable InvokeAI to run on the GPU by running
+the container with an extra environment variable to enable GPU usage and have
+the process run much faster:
+
+```bash
+GPU_FLAGS=all ./docker/run.sh
+```
+
+This passes the `--gpus all` to docker and uses the GPU.
+
+If you don't have a GPU (or your host is not yet setup to use it) you will see a
+message like this:
+
+`docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]].`
+
+You can use the full set of GPU combinations documented here:
+
+https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#gpu
+
+For example, use `GPU_FLAGS=device=GPU-3a23c669-1f69-c64e-cf85-44e9b07e7a2a` to
+choose a specific device identified by a UUID.
+

+
+!!! warning "Deprecated"
+
+    From here on you will find the the previous Docker-Docs, which will still
+    provide some usefull informations.
+
+## Usage (time to have fun)
+
+### Startup
+
+If you're on a **Linux container** the `invoke` script is **automatically
+started** and the output dir set to the Docker volume you created earlier.
+
+If you're **directly on macOS follow these startup instructions**. With the
+Conda environment activated (`conda activate ldm`), run the interactive
+interface that combines the functionality of the original scripts `txt2img` and
+`img2img`: Use the more accurate but VRAM-intensive full precision math because
+half-precision requires autocast and won't work. By default the images are saved
+in `outputs/img-samples/`.
+
+```Shell
+python3 scripts/invoke.py --full_precision
+```
+
+You'll get the script's prompt. You can see available options or quit.
+
+```Shell
+invoke> -h
+invoke> q
+```
+
+### Text to Image
+
+For quick (but bad) image results test with 5 steps (default 50) and 1 sample
+image. This will let you know that everything is set up correctly. Then increase
+steps to 100 or more for good (but slower) results. The prompt can be in quotes
+or not.
+
+```Shell
+invoke> The hulk fighting with sheldon cooper -s5 -n1
+invoke> "woman closeup highly detailed"  -s 150
+# Reuse previous seed and apply face restoration
+invoke> "woman closeup highly detailed"  --steps 150 --seed -1 -G 0.75
+```
+
+You'll need to experiment to see if face restoration is making it better or
+worse for your specific prompt.
+
+If you're on a container the output is set to the Docker volume. You can copy it
+wherever you want. You can download it from the Docker Desktop app, Volumes,
+my-vol, data. Or you can copy it from your Mac terminal. Keep in mind
+`docker cp` can't expand `*.png` so you'll need to specify the image file name.
+
+On your host Mac (you can use the name of any container that mounted the
+volume):
+
+```Shell
+docker cp dummy:/data/000001.928403745.png /Users/<your-user>/Pictures
+```
+
+### Image to Image
+
+You can also do text-guided image-to-image translation. For example, turning a
+sketch into a detailed drawing.
+
+`strength` is a value between 0.0 and 1.0 that controls the amount of noise that
+is added to the input image. Values that approach 1.0 allow for lots of
+variations but will also produce images that are not semantically consistent
+with the input. 0.0 preserves image exactly, 1.0 replaces it completely.
+
+Make sure your input image size dimensions are multiples of 64 e.g. 512x512.
+Otherwise you'll get `Error: product of dimension sizes > 2**31'`. If you still
+get the error
+[try a different size](https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/resize-rotate-or-flip-an-image-prvw2015/mac#:~:text=image's%20file%20size-,In%20the%20Preview%20app%20on%20your%20Mac%2C%20open%20the%20file,is%20shown%20at%20the%20bottom.)
+like 512x256.
+
+If you're on a Docker container, copy your input image into the Docker volume
+
+```Shell
+docker cp /Users/<your-user>/Pictures/sketch-mountains-input.jpg dummy:/data/
+```
+
+Try it out generating an image (or more). The `invoke` script needs absolute
+paths to find the image so don't use `~`.
+
+If you're on your Mac
+
+```Shell
+invoke> "A fantasy landscape, trending on artstation" -I /Users/<your-user>/Pictures/sketch-mountains-input.jpg --strength 0.75  --steps 100 -n4
+```
+
+If you're on a Linux container on your Mac
+
+```Shell
+invoke> "A fantasy landscape, trending on artstation" -I /data/sketch-mountains-input.jpg --strength 0.75  --steps 50 -n1
+```
+
+### Web Interface
+
+You can use the `invoke` script with a graphical web interface. Start the web
+server with:
+
+```Shell
+python3 scripts/invoke.py --full_precision --web
+```
+
+If it's running on your Mac point your Mac web browser to
+<http://127.0.0.1:9090>
+
+Press Control-C at the command line to stop the web server.
+
+### Notes
+
+Some text you can add at the end of the prompt to make it very pretty:
+
+```Shell
+cinematic photo, highly detailed, cinematic lighting, ultra-detailed, ultrarealistic, photorealism, Octane Rendering, cyberpunk lights, Hyper Detail, 8K, HD, Unreal Engine, V-Ray, full hd, cyberpunk, abstract, 3d octane render + 4k UHD + immense detail + dramatic lighting + well lit + black, purple, blue, pink, cerulean, teal, metallic colours, + fine details, ultra photoreal, photographic, concept art, cinematic composition, rule of thirds, mysterious, eerie, photorealism, breathtaking detailed, painting art deco pattern, by hsiao, ron cheng, john james audubon, bizarre compositions, exquisite detail, extremely moody lighting, painted by greg rutkowski makoto shinkai takashi takeuchi studio ghibli, akihiko yoshida
+```
+
+The original scripts should work as well.
+
+```Shell
+python3 scripts/orig_scripts/txt2img.py --help
+python3 scripts/orig_scripts/txt2img.py --ddim_steps 100 --n_iter 1 --n_samples 1  --plms --prompt "new born baby kitten. Hyper Detail, Octane Rendering, Unreal Engine, V-Ray"
+python3 scripts/orig_scripts/txt2img.py --ddim_steps 5   --n_iter 1 --n_samples 1  --plms --prompt "ocean" # or --klms

+The model checkpoint files ('\*.ckpt') are the Stable Diffusion

-Originally there was only a single Stable Diffusion weights file, which many people named `model.ckpt`.
+Originally there was only a single Stable Diffusion weights file,
+which many people named `model.ckpt`. Now there are dozens or more
+that have been fine tuned to provide particulary styles, genres, or
+other features. In addition, there are several new formats that
+improve on the original checkpoint format: a `.safetensors` format
+which prevents malware from masquerading as a model, and `diffusers`
+models, the most recent innovation.
 
-Today, there are thousands of models, fine tuned to excel at specific styles, genres, or themes.
+InvokeAI supports all three formats but strongly prefers the
+`diffusers` format. These are distributed as directories containing
+multiple subfolders, each of which contains a different aspect of the
+model. The advantage of this is that the models load from disk really
+fast. Another advantage is that `diffusers` models are supported by a
+large and active set of open source developers working at and with
+HuggingFace organization, and improvements in both rendering quality
+and performance are being made at a rapid pace. Among other features
+is the ability to download and install a `diffusers` model just by
+providing its HuggingFace repository ID.
 
-!!! tip "Model Formats"
+While InvokeAI will continue to support `.ckpt` and `.safetensors`
+models for the near future, these are deprecated and support will
+likely be withdrawn at some point in the not-too-distant future.
 
-    We also have two more popular model formats, both created [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/):
+This manual will guide you through installing and configuring model
+weight files and converting legacy `.ckpt` and `.safetensors` files
+into performant `diffusers` models.
 
-    - `safetensors`: Single file, like `.ckpt` files. Prevents malware from lurking in a model.
-    - `diffusers`: Splits the model components into separate files, allowing very fast loading.
+## Base Models
 
-    InvokeAI supports all three formats. Our backend will convert models to `diffusers` format before running them. This is a transparent process.
+InvokeAI comes with support for a good set of starter models. You'll
+find them listed in the master models file
+`configs/INITIAL_MODELS.yaml` in the InvokeAI root directory. The
+subset that are currently installed are found in
+`configs/models.yaml`.
 
-## Starter Models
+Note that these files are covered by an "Ethical AI" license which
+forbids certain uses. When you initially download them, you are asked
+to accept the license terms. In addition, some of these models carry
+additional license terms that limit their use in commercial
+applications or on public servers. Be sure to familiarize yourself
+with the model terms by visiting the URLs in the table above.
 
-When you first start InvokeAI, you'll see a popup prompting you to install some starter models from the Model Manager. Click the `Starter Models` tab to see the list.
+## Community-Contributed Models
 
-You'll find a collection of popular and high-quality models available for easy download.
+[HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/models?library=diffusers)
+is a great resource for diffusers models, and is also the home of a
+[fast-growing repository](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library)
+of embedding (".bin") models that add subjects and/or styles to your
+images. The latter are automatically installed on the fly when you
+include the text `<concept-name>` in your prompt. See [Concepts
+Library](../features/CONCEPTS.md) for more information.
 
-Some models carry license terms that limit their use in commercial applications or on public servers. It's your responsibility to adhere to the license terms.
+Another popular site for community-contributed models is
+[CIVITAI](https://civitai.com). This extensive site currently supports
+only `.safetensors` and `.ckpt` models, but they can be easily loaded
+into InvokeAI and/or converted into optimized `diffusers` models. Be
+aware that CIVITAI hosts many models that generate NSFW content.
 
-## Other Models
+## Installation
 
-You can install other models using the Model Manager. You'll find tabs for the following install methods:
+There are two ways to install and manage models:
 
-- **URL or Local Path**: Provide the path to a model on your computer, or a direct link to the model. Some sites require you to use an API token to download models, which you can [set up in the config file].
-- **HuggingFace**: Paste a HF Repo ID to install it. If there are multiple models in the repo, you'll get a list to choose from. Repo IDs look like this: `XpucT/Deliberate`. There is a copy button on each repo to copy the ID.
-- **Scan Folder**: Scan a local folder for models. You can install all of the detected models in one click.
+1. The `invokeai-model-install` script which will download and install
+them for you.  In addition to supporting main models, you can install
+ControlNet, LoRA and Textual Inversion models.
 
-!!! tip "Autoimport"
+2. The web interface (WebUI) has a GUI for importing and managing
+   models.
 
-    The dedicated autoimport folder is removed as of v4.0.0. You can do the same thing on the **Scan Folder** tab - paste the folder you'd like to import from and then click `Install All`.
+3. By placing models (or symbolic links to models) inside one of the
+InvokeAI root directory's `autoimport` folder.
 
-### Diffusers models in HF repo subfolders
+### Installation via `invokeai-model-install`
 
-HuggingFace repos can be structured in any way. Some model authors include multiple models within the same folder.
+From the `invoke` launcher, choose option [5] "Download and install
+models." This will launch the same script that prompted you to select
+models at install time. You can use this to add models that you
+skipped the first time around. It is all right to specify a model that
+was previously downloaded; the script will just confirm that the files
+are complete.
 
-In this situation, you may need to provide some additional information to identify the model you want, by adding `:subfolder_name` to the repo ID.
+The installer has different panels for installing main models from
+HuggingFace, models from Civitai and other arbitrary web sites,
+ControlNet models, LoRA/LyCORIS models, and Textual Inversion
+embeddings. Each section has a text box in which you can enter a new
+model to install. You can refer to a model using its:
 
-!!! example
+1. Local path to the .ckpt, .safetensors or diffusers folder on your local machine
+2. A directory on your machine that contains multiple models
+3. A URL that points to a downloadable model
+4. A HuggingFace repo id
 
-    Say you have a repo ID `monster-labs/control_v1p_sd15_qrcode_monster`, and the model you want is inside the `v2` subfolder.
+Previously-installed models are shown with checkboxes. Uncheck a box
+to unregister the model from InvokeAI. Models that are physically
+installed inside the InvokeAI root directory will be deleted and
+purged (after a confirmation warning). Models that are located outside
+the InvokeAI root directory will be unregistered but not deleted.
 
-    Add `:v2` to the repo ID and use that when installing the model: `monster-labs/control_v1p_sd15_qrcode_monster:v2`
+Note: The installer script uses a console-based text interface that requires
+significant amounts of horizontal and vertical space. If the display
+looks messed up, just enlarge the terminal window and/or relaunch the
+script.
 
-[set up in the config file]: ../../features/CONFIGURATION#model-marketplace-api-keys
+If you wish you can script model addition and deletion, as well as
+listing installed models. Start the "developer's console" and give the
+command `invokeai-model-install --help`. This will give you a series
+of command-line parameters that will let you control model
+installation. Examples:
+
+```
+# (list all controlnet models)
+invokeai-model-install --list controlnet
+
+# (install the model at the indicated URL)
+invokeai-model-install --add https://civitai.com/api/download/models/128713
+
+# (delete the named model)
+invokeai-model-install --delete sd-1/main/analog-diffusion
+```
+
+### Installation via the Web GUI
+
+To install a new model using the Web GUI, do the following:
+
+1. Open the InvokeAI Model Manager (cube at the bottom of the
+left-hand panel) and navigate to *Import Models*
+
+2. In the field labeled *Location* type in the path to the model you
+wish to install. You may use a URL, HuggingFace repo id, or a path on
+your local disk.
+
+3. Alternatively, the *Scan for Models* button allows you to paste in
+the path to a folder somewhere on your machine. It will be scanned for
+importable models and prompt you to add the ones of your choice.
+
+4. Press *Add Model* and wait for confirmation that the model
+was added.
+
+To delete a model, Select *Model Manager* to list all the currently
+installed models. Press the trash can icons to delete any models you
+wish to get rid of. Models whose weights are located inside the
+InvokeAI `models` directory will be purged from disk, while those
+located outside will be unregistered from InvokeAI, but not deleted.
+
+You can see where model weights are located by clicking on the model name.
+This will bring up an editable info panel showing the model's characteristics,
+including the `Model Location` of its files.
+
+### Installation via the `autoimport` function
+
+In the InvokeAI root directory you will find a series of folders under
+`autoimport`, one each for main models, controlnets, embeddings and
+Loras.  Any models that you add to these directories will be scanned
+at startup time and registered automatically.
+
+You may create symbolic links from these folders to models located
+elsewhere on disk and they will be autoimported. You can also create
+subfolders and organize them as you wish.
+
+The location of the autoimport directories are controlled by settings
+in `invokeai.yaml`. See [Configuration](../features/CONFIGURATION.md).

+
+# :material-image-size-select-large: Installing xformers
+
+xFormers is toolbox that integrates with the pyTorch and CUDA
+libraries to provide accelerated performance and reduced memory
+consumption for applications using the transformers machine learning
+architecture. After installing xFormers, InvokeAI users who have
+CUDA GPUs will see a noticeable decrease in GPU memory consumption and
+an increase in speed.
+
+xFormers can be installed into a working InvokeAI installation without
+any code changes or other updates. This document explains how to
+install xFormers.
+
+## Pip Install
+
+For both Windows and Linux, you can install `xformers` in just a
+couple of steps from the command line.
+
+If you are used to launching `invoke.sh` or `invoke.bat` to start
+InvokeAI, then run the launcher and select the "developer's console"
+to get to the command line. If you run invoke.py directly from the
+command line, then just be sure to activate it's virtual environment.
+
+Then run the following three commands:
+
+```sh
+pip install xformers~=0.0.19
+pip install triton    # WON'T WORK ON WINDOWS
+python -m xformers.info output
+```
+
+The first command installs `xformers`, the second installs the
+`triton` training accelerator, and the third prints out the `xformers`
+installation status. On Windows, please omit the `triton` package,
+which is not available on that platform.
+
+If all goes well, you'll see a report like the
+following:
+
+```sh

+
+## Source Builds
+
+`xformers` is currently under active development and at some point you
+may wish to build it from sourcce to get the latest features and
+bugfixes.
+
+### Source Build on Linux
+
+Note that xFormers only works with true NVIDIA GPUs and will not work
+properly with the ROCm driver for AMD acceleration.
+
+xFormers is not currently available as a pip binary wheel and must be
+installed from source. These instructions were written for a system
+running Ubuntu 22.04, but other Linux distributions should be able to
+adapt this recipe.
+
+#### 1. Install CUDA Toolkit 11.8
+
+You will need the CUDA developer's toolkit in order to compile and
+install xFormers. **Do not try to install Ubuntu's nvidia-cuda-toolkit
+package.** It is out of date and will cause conflicts among the NVIDIA
+driver and binaries. Instead install the CUDA Toolkit package provided
+by NVIDIA itself. Go to [CUDA Toolkit 11.8
+Downloads](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11-8-0-download-archive)
+and use the target selection wizard to choose your platform and Linux
+distribution. Select an installer type of "runfile (local)" at the
+last step.
+
+This will provide you with a recipe for downloading and running a
+install shell script that will install the toolkit and drivers. For
+example, the install script recipe for Ubuntu 22.04 running on a
+x86_64 system is:
+
+```
+wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.8.0/local_installers/cuda_11.8.0_520.61.05_linux.run
+sudo sh cuda_11.8.0_520.61.05_linux.run
+```
+
+Rather than cut-and-paste this example, We recommend that you walk
+through the toolkit wizard in order to get the most up to date
+installer for your system.
+
+#### 2. Confirm/Install pyTorch 2.01 with CUDA 11.8 support
+
+If you are using InvokeAI 3.0.2 or higher, these will already be
+installed. If not, you can check whether you have the needed libraries
+using a quick command. Activate the invokeai virtual environment,
+either by entering the "developer's console", or manually with a
+command similar to `source ~/invokeai/.venv/bin/activate` (depending
+on where your `invokeai` directory is.
+
+Then run the command:
+
+```sh
+python -c 'exec("import torch\nprint(torch.__version__)")'
+```
+
+If it prints __1.13.1+cu118__ you're good. If not, you can install the
+most up to date libraries with this command:
+
+```sh
+pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall torch torchvision
+```
+
+#### 3. Install the triton module
+
+This module isn't necessary for xFormers image inference optimization,
+but avoids a startup warning.
+
+```sh
+pip install triton
+```
+
+#### 4. Install source code build prerequisites
+
+To build xFormers from source, you will need the `build-essentials`
+package. If you don't have it installed already, run:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install build-essential
+```
+
+#### 5. Build xFormers
+
+There is no pip wheel package for xFormers at this time (January
+2023). Although there is a conda package, InvokeAI no longer
+officially supports conda installations and you're on your own if you
+wish to try this route.
+
+Following the recipe provided at the [xFormers GitHub
+page](https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers), and with the
+InvokeAI virtual environment active (see step 1) run the following
+commands:
+
+```sh
+pip install ninja
+export TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="6.0;6.1;6.2;7.0;7.2;7.5;8.0;8.6"
+pip install -v -U git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers.git@main#egg=xformers
+```
+
+The TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST is a list of GPU architectures to compile
+xFormer support for. You can speed up compilation by selecting
+the architecture specific for your system. You'll find the list of
+GPUs and their architectures at NVIDIA's [GPU Compute
+Capability](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus) table.
+
+If the compile and install completes successfully, you can check that
+xFormers is installed with this command:
+
+```sh
+python -m xformers.info
+```
+
+If suiccessful, the top of the listing should indicate "available" for
+each of the `memory_efficient_attention` modules, as shown here:
+
+```sh
+memory_efficient_attention.cutlassF:               available
+memory_efficient_attention.cutlassB:               available
+memory_efficient_attention.flshattF:               available
+memory_efficient_attention.flshattB:               available
+memory_efficient_attention.smallkF:                available
+memory_efficient_attention.smallkB:                available
+memory_efficient_attention.tritonflashattF:        available
+memory_efficient_attention.tritonflashattB:        available
+[...]
+```
+
+You can now launch InvokeAI and enjoy the benefits of xFormers.

+# :simple-buildkite: How to build "binary" installers (InvokeAI-mac/windows/linux_on_*.zip)
+
+## 1. Ensure `installers/requirements.in` is correct
+
+and up to date on the branch to be installed.
+
+## <a name="step-2"></a> 2. Run `pip-compile` on each platform.
+
+On each target platform, in the branch that is to be installed, and
+inside the InvokeAI git root folder, run the following commands:
+
+```commandline
+conda activate invokeai # or however you activate python
+pip install pip-tools
+pip-compile --allow-unsafe --generate-hashes --output-file=binary_installer/<reqsfile>.txt binary_installer/requirements.in
+```
+where `<reqsfile>.txt` is whichever of
+```commandline
+py3.10-darwin-arm64-mps-reqs.txt
+py3.10-darwin-x86_64-reqs.txt
+py3.10-linux-x86_64-cuda-reqs.txt
+py3.10-windows-x86_64-cuda-reqs.txt
+```
+matches the current OS and architecture.
+> There is no way to cross-compile these. They must be done on a system matching the target OS and arch.
+
+## <a name="step-3"></a> 3. Set github repository and branch
+
+Once all reqs files have been collected and committed **to the branch
+to be installed**, edit `binary_installer/install.sh.in` and `binary_installer/install.bat.in` so that `RELEASE_URL`
+and `RELEASE_SOURCEBALL` point to the github repo and branch that is
+to be installed.
+
+For example, to install `main` branch of `InvokeAI`, they should be
+set as follows:
+
+`install.sh.in`:
+```commandline
+RELEASE_URL=https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI
+RELEASE_SOURCEBALL=/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz
+```
+
+`install.bat.in`:
+```commandline
+set RELEASE_URL=https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI
+set RELEASE_SOURCEBALL=/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz
+```
+
+Or, to install `damians-cool-feature` branch of `damian0815`, set them
+as follows:
+
+`install.sh.in`:
+```commandline
+RELEASE_URL=https://github.com/damian0815/InvokeAI
+RELEASE_SOURCEBALL=/archive/refs/heads/damians-cool-feature.tar.gz
+```
+
+`install.bat.in`:
+```commandline
+set RELEASE_URL=https://github.com/damian0815/InvokeAI
+set RELEASE_SOURCEBALL=/archive/refs/heads/damians-cool-feature.tar.gz
+```
+
+The branch and repo specified here **must** contain the correct reqs
+files. The installer zip files **do not** contain requirements files,
+they are pulled from the specified branch during the installation
+process.
+
+## 4. Create zip files.
+
+cd into the `installers/` folder and run
+`./create_installers.sh`. This will create
+`InvokeAI-mac_on_<branch>.zip`,
+`InvokeAI-windows_on_<branch>.zip` and
+`InvokeAI-linux_on_<branch>.zip`. These files can be distributed to end users.
+
+These zips will continue to function as installers for all future
+pushes to those branches, as long as necessary changes to
+`requirements.in` are propagated in a timely manner to the
+`py3.10-*-reqs.txt` files using pip-compile as outlined in [step
+2](#step-2).
+
+To actually install, users should unzip the appropriate zip file into an empty
+folder and run `install.sh` on macOS/Linux or `install.bat` on
+Windows.

-# Installation and Updating Overview
+# Overview
 
-Before installing, review the [installation requirements] to ensure your system is set up properly.
+We offer several ways to install InvokeAI, each one suited to your
+experience and preferences. We suggest that everyone start by
+reviewing the
+[hardware](010_INSTALL_AUTOMATED.md#hardware_requirements) and
+[software](010_INSTALL_AUTOMATED.md#software_requirements)
+requirements, as they are the same across each install method. Then
+pick the install method most suitable to your level of experience and
+needs.
 
-See the [FAQ] for frequently-encountered installation issues.
+See the [troubleshooting
+section](010_INSTALL_AUTOMATED.md#troubleshooting) of the automated
+install guide for frequently-encountered installation issues.
 
-If you need more help, join our [discord] or [create an issue].
+This fork is supported across Linux, Windows and Macintosh. Linux users can use
+either an Nvidia-based card (with CUDA support) or an AMD card (using the ROCm
+driver).
 
-<h2>Automatic Install & Updates </h2>
 
-✅ The automatic install is the best way to run InvokeAI. Check out the [installation guide] to get started.
+## **[Automated Installer](010_INSTALL_AUTOMATED.md)**
+✅ This is the recommended installation method for first-time users. 
 
-⬆️ The same installer is also the best way to update InvokeAI - Simply rerun it for the same folder you installed to.
+  This is a script that will install all of InvokeAI's essential
+  third party libraries and InvokeAI itself. It includes access to a
+  "developer console" which will help us debug problems with you and
+  give you to access experimental features.
 
-The installation process simply manages installation for the core libraries & application dependencies that run Invoke.
-Any models, images, or other assets in the Invoke root folder won't be affected by the installation process.
+## **[Manual Installation](020_INSTALL_MANUAL.md)**
+This method is recommended for experienced users and developers.
 
-<h2>Manual Install</h2>
-
-If you are familiar with python and want more control over the packages that are installed, you can [install InvokeAI manually via PyPI].
-
-Updates are managed by reinstalling the latest version through PyPi.
-
-<h2>Developer Install</h2>
-
-If you want to contribute to InvokeAI, consult the [developer install guide].
-
-<h2>Docker Install</h2>
+  In this method you will manually run the commands needed to install
+  InvokeAI and its dependencies. We offer two recipes: one suited to
+  those who prefer the `conda` tool, and one suited to those who prefer
+  `pip` and Python virtual environments. In our hands the pip install
+  is faster and more reliable, but your mileage may vary.
+  Note that the conda installation method is currently deprecated and
+  will not be supported at some point in the future.
 
+## **[Docker Installation](040_INSTALL_DOCKER.md)**
 This method is recommended for those familiar with running Docker containers.
 
 We offer a method for creating Docker containers containing InvokeAI and its dependencies. This method is recommended for individuals with experience with Docker containers and understand the pluses and minuses of a container-based install.
 
-See the [docker installation guide].
