Overview

We offer several ways to install InvokeAI, each one suited to your experience and preferences. We suggest that everyone start by reviewing the hardware and software 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 troubleshooting section of the automated install guide for frequently-encountered installation issues.

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).

Automated Installer (Recommended)

✅ This is the recommended installation method for first-time users.

This is a script that will install all of InvokeAI's essential third party libraries and InvokeAI itself.

🖥️ Download the latest installer .zip file here : https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest

  • Look for the file labelled "InvokeAI-installer-v3.X.X.zip" at the bottom of the page
  • If you experience issues, read through the full installation instructions to make sure you have met all of the installation requirements. If you need more help, join the Discord or create an issue on Github.

Manual Installation

This method is recommended for experienced users and developers.

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

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.
