Automatic Install & Updates
✅ The automatic install is the best way to run InvokeAI. Check out the installation guide to get started.
⬆️ The same installer is also the best way to update InvokeAI - Simply rerun it for the same folder you installed to.
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 Install
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.
