We offer several ways to install InvokeAI, each one suited to your
experience and preferences.
1. [Source code installer](INSTALL_SOURCE.md)
This is a script that will install Python, the Anaconda ("conda")
package manager, all of InvokeAI's its 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.
This method is recommended for individuals who are installing
InvokeAI for the first time.
2. [Manual Installation](INSTALL_MANUAL.md)
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.
This method is recommended for users who have previously used `conda`
or `pip` in the past, developers, and anyone who wishes to remain on
the cutting edge of future InvokeAI development and is willing to put
up with occasional glitches and breakage.
3. [Docker Installation](INSTALL_DOCKER.md)
We also 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.
4. [Jupyter Notebooks Installation](INSTALL_JUPYTER.md)
This method is suitable for running InvokeAI on a Google Colab
account. It is recommended for individuals who have previously
worked on the Colab and are comfortable with the Jupyter notebook
environment.
